Hi everyone,

I recently bid and won a set of used Toyota steel wheels which I believe were used on both the 70 and the 100 Series.

Set of 4 here:

Full photos from the seller here with one OEM photo (also not mine)

From what I can tell with the photos provided, I think a little work to get rid of the rust, repaint or powdercoat, and I should be ahead of the OEM prices. I also like the idea of reusing.

Planning to use them for a second set of tires, probably winter tires.

A few questions:

• Does anyone think that the wheels are beyond salvageable? I may take them to a local tire shop to have them balanced to see if any of them are really badly balanced. That way I won't waste time refurbishing them if they can't be balanced.

For rust removal, I was thinking either a vinegar bath or Evaporust and then some work with a disc to sand down the rough edges.

I'm also going to look into sandblasting/mediablasting as I am also going to look into powdercoating prices. I know powdercoating is more durable and expensive.

• Is there anything else that I am forgetting or should be considering?

Thanks in advance.

What's the backspacing or offset? They look like IFS 100 wheels to me.

I don't have them yet so I am not sure, but i agree I think they are IFS 100 wheels. But I am told they fit on the 70.

Mudder boozewz has put them on his previous 70 with a lift (which mine has too)

boozewz wheels are different. You have these...

Thanks!

Hm. I may have bought something that won't fit. We shall see.

Sadly these are indeed the 42601-60600 which are the IFS 100 Series rims. I'm still on the lookout for the 70 Series steel rims...
