Good morning folks,
I recently acquired a 1979 FJ40 that was buried in leaves and snow. Now that I got it home and cleaned up, it appears to be mostly original. One thing I am not sure about however are the rims. Did FJ40s in 1979 only come with the split steel rims, or were the white rims in the picture attached an option as well? Im confused because I have seen similar rims on other FJ40s, but they also look a lot like budget rims sold at local auto retailers. If these aren't original, I do have a set of rims from an 87' Toyota pickup. They don't seem as deeply dished as the FJ's current rims, but I thought they would be a good option? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
