The 17's that I have seen posted that look good are the FJC 17" steel wheels painted grey.

Remember it also depends on the tire size, 17's with 35's or larger looks ok, 17's with 33's looks iffy to me, and anything smaller then a 33 on a 17 inch rims looks awful in my opinion.

Eshu Elegua, have you tried getting a couple of key cylinders and make one to match your ignition? You can find them at the junkyard. Take the key cylinders apart and Install inside inside hardware that closely matches your original key. May have to use a file to make it match. I did one on one of my doors since P.O installed it after being broken into.

35 and 17's or 16's with 33's would be my vote.

I like them a lot , I have left mine black for now. I run them with no spacer (around town) for now but they do rub and I am going to try 1/4 spacer and see.

17's are great but any larger and I think you are starting into the Ghotto look. Larger is not always better. Just my humble opinion.

Stock steel wheels look the best. I don't care much for the flashy rims some people run on their Land Cruisers. It doesn't go well with the overall theme of the vehicle.

Land Cruisers are more function oriented vehicles rather than towards aesthetics. Though, we all know there is nothing more stunning than a stock cruiser on the factory steel wheels.
