Steel vs Alloys

[brizzle]

I have an extra set of alloys from a sequoia. The tires on them are pretty much shot. A shop in town has a set of steel wheels with near new all weather tires. I ultimately wanted to use the wheels for a trailer build to have matching wheel and tire sizes with the cruiser.

You think I should trade the alloys for the steel, run or sell the tires, and use the steel for the trailer?

EXTRA set of alloys, trade them for the steels.

Aren't Sequoia wheels 6 lug?

Are those the split rims? I love the commercial look of those.

Why not get both? I use both sets: alloy's for street tires and steelies for off-roading.

The steelies are a stock Tundra wheel, and also stock for UZJ100's in other markets.

Made the trade, they didnt have the all weather's i expected but some rugged terrains with a few miles left on them and a good discount on my next set of all terrains. Thanks!

Just a heads-up, don't be surprised when the hub cap on those front wheels won't clear your grease caps.

You'll either have to cut the center of the hub caps out with a hole saw/Dremel, or run without the hub caps. Sturdy wheels though.

@WingNutLG I have heard that is a problem with the center caps from tundras. Probably just run without them. Thanks for the heads up!

I am a fan of steel wheels as well. These are FJ Cruiser 17" steel with rock rings. Pretty much the same as the 5 lug Tundra variant, I think the Tundras are also 16"
