these were on a turbo diesel but probably similar if not the same style. You'd need steel wheel lugs, like I have for my tundra rims
Where can I find these older toyota wheels for my 100?

Those might be the 6.5" width ones.... which would be ideal for 255/85-16. Kewl, thanks Beno.
Also, baja overland did a nice write-up on these wheels with the lug nut part numbers and all...

Something to remember with going to steelies: you are going to significantly increase the power needed to get an already heavy rig going. The steelies are very heavy.
There was a 35 pound increase per tire (315/75/16's) when I went from the alloys to the factory Steel wheels. Getting that sucker up onto the rear tire carrier is indeed a chore.
But the cool factor is bar none and the overall functionality of steel wheels far surpasses the down sides of the weight IMHO.

maybe the steel wheels and 35s is why my suspension is falling apart?
as i mentioned in another post to Mr Loud...they weigh an absolute ton 
Even with the stock grandtreks, me (mr fitness - not) found them heavy. When i had the Cooper STTs (even heavier) it was an interesting day winding down the spare and lifting it into the back so i could get a proper rotation.
When my budget allows, i'll be getting alloys, possibly along the lines of the featured truck that Muddie.au post on here a while back.
They seriously are heavy. I have 13 of them including the 5 bolted to the beast (7 "naked" in boxes in as new condition, one with my original Grandtrek on it from when i got the LC new in 2005 which shows Toyota didnt do the 5 tyre rotation)
I was able to get 5 in boxes via Oz eBay (the guy replaced all 5 with aftermarket alloys) but he was in Queensland which is miles away from where i live in Victoria. Luckily he had a friend that lived not far from me that was visiting him for Christmas in whatever year i bought them. I paid the guy who brought them down $150 as he said, and i dont doubt, that added a lot of weight to his trailer and increased his fuel consumption. His trip was about 900kms.
One of the "new naked rims" is now on the LC with the KM2s.
Unfortunately i cant get a spare KM2 until mid January as they are hard to get here. The tyre reseller said that due to the American market not producing much coz of the GFC and Oz being such a small market for any tyre company.
I havent checked eBay for a while as i think having 13 steelies is enough, but hey if there's a market for it when your USD picks up, i'll gladly corner it here and ship to the USA when the USD is better.
But, again, they are heavy!
cheers

Edit: and just FYI they are 16x8

That seems like a lot just for the wheels. I could see 5 or maybe 10 lbs more, but 35!?! So then do the wheels alone weigh around 55 lbs?
I do know what you mean about big, heavy tires. I couldn't believe how much my E rated 34's weighed the first time I pulled them off.
i'll try and get one of my "naked" steelie 16x8 LC100 IFS (2005) wheels weighed over Christmas for you and post back
cheers

well yes and no.
in the past "alloys" were "frowned upon" because if you hit a decent pothole or rock you'd probably bend the rim out of shape.
That's probably 1980s talk. Here we are in 2010 and yes of course the steelies are supposedly stronger...hopefully the current crop of factory "steelies" arent made in China for all car companies...who knows.
These days alloy wheels are pretty good. And will withstand what previously only steel wheels would have. Even back then alloy wheels were ok, it was just idiot driving, hidden potholes (with our famous bulldust) or circumstance that f'ed up alloy wheels. But of course i'm not talking long term touring like a Simpson Desert crossing.
I have no knowledge on whether or not alloys made it thru the Simpson. I dont particularly care. It's just that in that time, steel wheels were what you ran with.
Given the weight of mine, i cant wait to on sell them on eBay and replace them with a lighter alloy wheel that i can trust.
I just need to go down that path of checking out 4x4/4wd wheels but my no1 priority is suspension.
I have some very nice new KM2 tyres, so the wheels will need to be justified.
cheers

Should have been clearer (getting used to writing on a smartphone)...
The entire tire/wheel combo was about 35pounds more with the steel wheels vs. alloy wheels.
If they're Toyota OE wheels and have JPP cast on them then they're forged alloys not just cast.
I'd only go with steel wheels if travelling out of the country where a replacement alloy was difficult to get. I think a steel wheel is just as likely to bend before a forged alloy would crack/break.
Also after adding front/rear bumpers, sliders, winch, drawers, fridge, RTT, carrying food/water/fuel etc.; about the last thing I personally want to add is weight that is both unsprung and rotational.
The truck is already under-powered as it is when we get up around 5000'. There are some climbs where it just runs out of guts near the top, and we really have to carry more speed into the approach than we would like just to make it.
try driving up pikes peak! Coming down is a lot more fun.
It's on the list of must sees. However I worry about getting that close to Christo's shop!
UPDATE
I recently got these for a customer.
They are non-US OEM steelies. 42 lbs each
42601-60600
There were 4 left in the US. Don't know if these will be re-stocked (as of now, there are none in transit to the US).
Anyway, here are some pics.

160lbs via Fedex, ouch.
