Chime In Wheel/tire Experts!!

I have a TRD and love the stock alloys & tires.

Not too pleased with grip on wet pavement & want some winter tires/rims.


Soooo, here's the question if you know what you're talking about:

Where can I get HEAVY DUTY, 16" steel rims (16" like the TRD alloys) and what tire (same size as the 16" stock BFG's) should I get for superior winter/wet asphalt handling (like a 9 rating in both catagories).

I also want it to fit on the spare tire mount without modifications.

I would consider the stock 17" black steel wheels, but I imagine Toyota wants at least $150 for each wheel...

I don't mind paying for top quality rubber, but not too much for steel wheels.

Am I dreaming?! NYC area.

Looks like what I'm looking for.
Thanks!

Now...The RUBBER....

[NYCTRD]

ORDERED THE WHEELS, gORILLA LOCKS & LUG NUTZ.

NOW WHAT'S THE BEST RUBBER FOR N.E. WINTERS & GIVES GREAT WET ROAD HANDLING WITHOUT SACRIFICING OFF-ROAD ABILITY SIGNIFICANTLY?

Whats the shipping cost on those rims?
37 lbs each...from Oregon..

[NYCTRD]

It's a "standard UPS shipping, we can't calculate online" deal (never dealt with that before...obvious possible scam.

But I'm a tenacious asshole, so if there's a problem, my high-end credit card will wipe the charge and minimize my hassle-time.

I'll let cha know!

Wheeler's off-road is legit. They're very reputable over on the TTORA forums. I've also bought some stuff from there before too.

I've decided on these (255 85 16) when my wheels arrive. Which should be this afternoon.
