    I love the look of the old 5 star wheels in 16 diameter, I know they are rare. Anyone know where I can find Vintage Toyota wheels or where to look? Does anyone know what years they came with or what brands to look up? I have used eBay, Facebook, and Crooober but not much selection. Any suggestions appreciated, Thanks! Show off yours if you got em!IMG_0326.PNG.jpg

    American racing AR23's look fairly close.

    You don't say if you want steel or aluminum, but to me what you're showing is maybe U.S. Wheel's Star, which is a steel wheel that's been around since the 1980s.

    I had a set of Outlaws on my 1991. It seems like our choices back then were between a few models from U.S. Wheel or American Racing or Cragar.

    LOL, digging their visualizer tool.

    It's probably an American Racing AR23, but you won't get the same look cause you can't get that same offset in a 16".

    It may also be difficult to get those *exact* wheels because there's a possibility they are 15" on that 1st gen 4Runner.

    If the American Racing isn't what you're after and you want real vintage Centerline used to make a star.

    And way, way, way back Jackman had one, too. This one is going to be very rare since they went out of business in 1981 or so.

    I love you for showing me this and sharing your knowledge on these wheels! Super interesting stuff Dave. Those centerline wheels look great and the black center Far Stars are awesome too!
