I just bought a cheap set of 16" 98-02 Land Cruiser wheels from a local repair shop half hour away from my work. Removed off a customer's vehicle. Paid next to nothing for the set and they are in great condition (no bends or cracks, no deep gouges or curb rash) basically perfect candidate to refinish at the powdercoater's.

I took pics of all the markings and stamps on the wheels.

Can someone help verify they are real OEM wheels?

For some reason I was expecting a Toyota or made in japan stamp somewhere but none of them have it. They look weathered and old with tons of brake dust/corrosion residue looking true to their age.

From memory it looks correct. I’ll look at my spares later today and reply.
 
You guys are great. Thank you for your help!
 
Pretty much sure those are original Toyota wheels. If they weren't, almost certainly would have "made in China" cast in there somewhere.
 
And mine have the same exterior markings, looks like Mr Toyota made both sets.

Funny mine have lots more road crud on them. Note this is my spare 4’ up on the rear swing out.

Thank you Sir^^

Now I am curious if I can use my LX470 center caps on these? I have a set of 16" LX470 wheels off a 98-02 model. Wonder if they will fit or if I need the Toyota center caps! Hmm..
