Okay first of all I realize that this would be much easier if I had pictures but my camera was dead at the time.
Last fall I was in Moab, Utah and came accross a couple from Denmark in a 75series troopie. HDJ maybe? We talked to them for about 30minutes about their Cruiser and their North American journey. One thing on the truck stood out more to me than the rest, the black Toyota rims. They looked very similar to a stock US spec 80 rims but they were black and had a center cap with "Toyota" on it instead of the the symbol. The problem with the rims is that they were 5 lug.
Anyone have a clue what i'm talking about and if so what is the chance they are available in a 6 lug pattern with the proper backspacing for a US 80? Sourcing them will be another issue I'll tackle if I can find a set to fit my truck.
thanks,
