16"x6" rim price increase!

[webbz47]

I just went to order another 42601-60262-03 wheel from the Toyota dealer and they now want $170 cdn per. Last fall I picked up 4 from the dealer for $80 each, that's a hefty price increase! Anyone know where I can find one of theses rims for a reasonable price?

$170 is the suggested retail, surprising they aren't charging you more.
Post a pic of what the rim looks like!

The rim is the same as this one only in sliver. It has a 3.75" backspacing.

Yeah I wished I had hopped on these last year
My dad managed to pick some up before the increase
The guy web said when picking them up that the price had doubled for some reason

When I ordered my 5th rim they quoted some crazy price like that: I questioned them and he said" oh- they're on sale. I can sell it to you for $80. backordered though so no idea when it will come."

It showed up three days later...

This little story may not help though as it was about a year ago. Good luck.

Thanks for posting the picture!
I have seen that rim before, I was hoping it looked more like the 40 series steel rim.

Those had been $80 cdn since 2001 when I first bought them (and were $35 US because of the exchange rate) . They were $80 US dealer cost at the time so a bit more out the door.

prices go up..........

bj70s came with 15s....
I think the ones people are talking about look similar but they are powder coated silver and 16 inch

Oh. That's weird then, cause I just went out to measure them just to double check and it is 16 inch... And it looks just like the picture posted above, 'cept it's chrome. I think it was stock with the 1985 BJ70...

I actually mean to say that it's weird. Sorry if my grammar made it sound cocky
