    So I bought an 1980 sr5 pickup off of my dads friend who's had it just about forever. Unfortunately, well before I got it, he went on vacation and someone bricked it while he was gone and lifted the original Toyota wheels that were on it. I really like the look of those wheels, and I almost understand why whoever stole them stole them because they're impossible to find. Does anyone out there know if there's anywhere I could find some Toyota wheels? or a company that makes something similar? Let me know! Thanks!


    Ideally I'm looking for some that look like the ones this truck has here. (This isn't mine btw.)

    I happen to have a set of them and yes they was hard to find. I now have the aluminum turbo wheels and they are even harder to find. Too bad we are so far apart cause I might would sell my 79-83 rims

    Unfortunately jetas, no luck. And thank you 22R88, but yeah, that distance is a bummer. I'll probably find something new to put on there, shes due for new tires anyway, just thought I'd test the waters and see if there were any floating around out there. Thanks a bunch guys!

    If I ever decide to change my wheels (due to wider drag-racing oriented ones) I will let you know. I found my set of SR5s by plain luck back in Phoenix, AZ. Now that I read your post I will seriously consider installing some wheel locks...

    Even with a set of wheel lock on steelies.. a pair of vise grips takes them off in a hurry..

    Alarm is a good deterrent, just cause its loud.. when thiefs want something they usually get it

    Just use an odd size lug nut or one different than the rest
