I have an 07 Toyota Hilux and having trouble finding wheels to suit. Any feedback would be great. Thanks

Craig, I assume you have an SR?

If SR5 wheels will do, do a ring around of the major tyre retailers. They often have some as trades when people have put 18inch wheels and low profile tyres on. Beats me why, but I guess we are all different.

I picked up a set of SR5 alloys a year or 2 ago from Bob Jane as spares for $200. Onsold two and kept the other 2. Toyota wanted $880 per wheel. Fat chance.

New Hilux has a strange offset, so not a lot of wheels available. Navara rims fit, but front brakes only miss the rim for a couple of mm. Better to stick to the Hilux offset if you can.

I agree here.

On a number of occasions have gone to Bob Jane at Bankstown and picked incredibly cheap original rims with new tyres for trailers.

Appears that when buyers order new vehicles with mag wheels and oversize tyres the originals just come of and stay at BJ's.
