Objectively; If they fit a 4Runner they will fit a GX.
Subjectively; No those are hideous mall crawler wheels.

Generally "mall crawlers" will run with 20" to 22" rims that are 12"+ wide with huge offset so they stick way outside the fenders and chrome everything undercarriage.
Oh, and let's not forget the 12+ lifts!

Meh, I've seen a lot worse running around here. They're not very "bling-y", but I didn't see any weight ratings for them?
Method wheels are made in China too.
Most wheels are made in China, Thailand and Taiwan.

I agree, when you're in the middle of nowhere you don't need to have a wheel explode on you.
lol, I don't recall promoting method wheels, but they do appear to be higher quality than most. Never owned a set; Probably never will.
The point remains; OEM wheels are heavy and ugly and don't have everyone's desired offset, but they are of higher quality than just about any aftermarket. I went with TRD which I believe are made in Taiwan. Country of origin really isn't the deciding factor, it's what standards they are built to.
I have seen cheap wheels crack on potholes. Not pretty.

pick your lines better and you wont have a problem. i've run these and other cheap POS wheels hard for years with no issues. just my experience.
i got these for cheap 17s with the right offset. they could have been pink and said "pee pee poo poo" all over them, i don't care. luckily these fit the size/offset requirement and ALSO look okay (subjective i guess)
personally - no judgement from me toward what anyone does with their rigs. 24" wheels, 16" wheels, genuine, knockoff, who cares? i do think calling things "mall crawler" is lazy haha at least be more creative with your insult/assessment
Eh, I don't see a problem with cheaper wheels for these, and this is someone who's owned several sets of Volks and Works for my track car. It just depends on your intended usage - wheels are consumable and if you abuse them in a way that could affect your safety or the safety of others, then you need to go better. But for highway cruising and light trail work, the tires should be taking the abuse anyway, especially if you have a larger set.
My priorities have always been spend to more money on the tires first if you can. Cheap wheels + good tires means you can still perform, while cheap tires + expensive wheels means you can't do anything anyway.

Lol could argue the same about any modification. No need for bigger tires at all if you just pick your line better!
i think you missed my point, but it's all good. i do agree, picking lines is very helpful if you don't wanna break your stuff + sure, if you're doing mild trails/obstacles, no need for big tires. again - big tires, small tires, NO tires... no judgement from me
