Toyota used those wheels on the early 80-series (straight axle, 3FE) as well as the late 80s pickups.

Semi-famous back in the 60s/70s rubbing compound made in England.
Now owned by a French conglomerate.

I have this on my 75 and it’s originally from Cali.
Damn the top looks great.

Very unpopular me saying it, but I think that those wheels look better than early acorns, or late 40 wheels - were all basically running radials anyway. Just not the original metallic bling - makes the tires always look dirty. I wouldn't mount one on a 40's spare tire carrier. Is the backspacing incorrect; I'm pretty sure the aesthetic is? They are a 16x8, or 15x7? They probably use a different lug nut than the original 40 wheels?

These are the 4Runner 15” that use acorn lugnuts and have too much BS so there is a 1/8” spacer on the front. Strictly rollers. They will be the hell off this thing by 3 pm.
Yuck
Well make sure they find a welcome home! Agree that they shouldn’t be on a 40, but they are the best looking wheel for an early 4runner and those 91/92 80 series (IMO).

Agree. Proper period correct wheels are step 1 always

“It’s a hobby, there are no wrong answers.”
Anyway, those “4 Runner” 15s are quite popular with some folks. I sold the set I pulled off the 92 fJ80 (when I went to a 94 rear axles to pickup discs) to someone putting an 89 pickup back together.

Relax I’m not throwing the 4Runner wheels away. They just don’t belong anywhere near a 40. Not even in the cargo area.
I took the morning to drive to the MS Delta to pick up my next project. Grabbed a burger. Listened to my Rebels beat Auburn.
My dad picked up my tires and I ripped those wheels y’all love so much off.
Red was not impressed but she is rocking the colors.

I spent the Tennessee/Alabama polishing this turd.
Bossman said the old man waited until the mud was dry and used a hammer to knock it out from under the fender.
And
one side is done and the Kenda 33x9.50r15s look perfect

Ok enough with the cream puff rigs. Yeah it’s nice, would I expect anything different?
Those TB t-shirts, I didn‘t find one in my acorn hubcap package a few eons ago. Was that an oversight?

Far from a cream puff but if you compare it to your 45 project anything would be a cream puff ….
