I have a 2011 GXL LC76 with factory alloy wheels. I want to change the wheels on my camper to match (same size, same offset etc) so that all wheels are interchangeable. factory alloys will be expensive and factory steel wheels are a little more narrow I think. Suggestions please?

Speedy Territory 16x7. Looks the same as factory, and same size.

Hope the info helps. If not, factory sets can often be found second-hand on sites like ebay, gumtree and lcool.

You will have a choice of alloy rims but make sure they are to the 4WD specification. If the meet the AS they will be stamped as heavy duty or similar. We use Speedy alloys on our Prado wearing Goodyear MTW with Kevlar for bush work and never had a problem

How many wheel nuts are on each wheel on the camper, 5 or 6? Your 76 series wheels has 5.

I'll assume your camper has the same 5 stud pattern as your 76 series, and that your camper will be OK with zero offset wheels (same as your 76series).
The speedy territory will look very similar but just remember that they take different wheel nuts than the factory alloys.
There are plenty of 16x7 zero offset steel aftermarket rims out there.
Or if you want the strongest rim, buy the factory 105series Landcruiser rims, but they will be slightly wider - 16x8.
Cheers
Phil

Shaz,
I've got a new 78 series Military Dual cab & have replaced the original alloys with 105 series steel GXL rims, got them new from Peter Kittles in Alice for $120.00 each.
You should be able to source them from any Toyota parts department.

Many thanks for the helpful replies, it is appreciated. The Speed Territory wheels seem to be the answer. The LC 105 wheels will mean that there will be two tyre sizes ( 7" and 8") and this reduces flexibility (rotating tyres). The steel rims would be a good idea but as they are also a different size (5.5") this also reduces flexibility. Regarding the lcool web site there is technical section for 70 series landcruisers.

Shaz,
It might be worth carry a set of spare standard wheel nuts so you can fit one of the speedys to the 76series in an emergency.
