I called my local dealer. They quoted me $114 per wheel. Unfortunately, there's only 2 available in the entire country.
Steel wheels?

Hey, Could you tell me what size tires you're running in these photos?
I got my steelies here. Tundra wheels.

I’m still using the original lug nuts. It just so happens they have an “acorn” tapered end. You’d never know they aren’t the correct ones. I also have the center caps which hides the washer. They might look peculiar without the caps.

I bought new Toyota lugs for steelies. Unfortunately only available in chrome but they look not too bad, imho...
ARE YOU RUNNING SPACERS OR IS IT DIRECT BOLT ON? SORRY FOR THE CAPS, MY KEYBOARD IS SHOT.

I’m going to guess he’s not running spacers with that kind of offset—if my recollection and math are both right, that, his wheel’s centers are 105mm further out than the factory rims on a UZJ!ARE YOU RUNNING SPACERS OR IS IT DIRECT BOLT ON? SORRY FOR THE CAPS, MY KEYBOARD IS SHOT.
Did you run spacers? Stock suspension and what tire size? Sorry for the questions but I am looking into doing this on my ride.

I went with 18" Tundra steelies with Gorilla lugs. I've got 1.25" spacers all around.
Very cool, what spacers did you get?

This is exactly what I’m wanting to do with my ‘03 LX. Two questions; did you order the steelies directly from Toyota? And while I like the look the spacers give to the overall vehicle, are they necessary for running the Tundra Wheels? Great looking Truck
If you plan on running the Tundra Lug caps, the spacers are necessary at least on the front.This is exactly what I’m wanting to do with my ‘03 LX.

I don’t think that I’ll use the lug caps since they have the Toyota Badge on them but it’s good to know that I’d need the spacers if I ever change my mind about it. Where did you source your wheels?
Facebook Marketplace. $75.00 for the set of 4 and then I found a matching spare for $35 that had a brand new tire on it. Also came with the 4 center caps and the stock lugnuts. Figured it was a pretty decent deal. I just had to scrub and paint them.
That was a good deal. I’ll start looking around and see what I can find. Thx for the post and the reply
For what it's worth, our fleet maintenance guys at a large county tell me they prefer to have aluminum wheels on their heavy trucks. They say the aluminum flexes and absorbs bumps in the road more than steel. Less pounding/vibration on the truck/driver. Lighter weight usually too.
Would it make a difference in the ride on a 100?

I grabbed the steelies off craigslist for about $75 and painted them. spacers aren't necessary for the steelies and I'm not running any front caps.This is exactly what I’m wanting to do with my ‘03 LX.
