Im really liking this rim. always been up for the 5 spoke rims. but more expensive. With shipping and handling its... $324

Im feeling this rim too because with shipping and handling its 220ish.

i have a similar set of the 2nd pic in chrome made by mickey thompson on my t100 and i love them.

I vote 2nd pic, the 8 hole

i personally favor option 2, and i almost bought those. opted instead for the 72 dollar (at the time, now they are 80) black steelies. havent been disappointed by them.

if youre offroading with them, the will get scratched up, i have a fair amount of rock rash on mine. just comes with the hobby. so i personally drop big bucks on bling thats going to get scratched up.

I thought everyone would definitely say the 5 spokers.

and i did the math on the 8 holes. i would spend $159 dollars out the door with shipping and handling. and they also have 4 inches of offset with a 15x8 rim. sound like a good deal compared to the $324 15x8 3.75 offset 5 spokes?

I'm leaning towards opt 2 also, always liked those rims (so many diff companies have them).

Yeah I think im gonna go with the 8 holes. its hard to pass up a deal at 40 dollars a rim, plus im gonna end up scratching them up anyway, right? Plus i like they way they look on that white 4runner

ya they are definitely nice rims... and i love how they look on my white runner too ^_^... where are you getting them from? i bought mine at Summit Shipped to my door for $182.74 with nice chrome valve stems... would have saved probably $8 if i had gone with the cheap rubber ones, but i wanted it to look good, and be slightly stronger...
