    :)That all depends on your cash flow.... Do you have pics of a TRD wheel and the one you are thinking of getting .... That might help out for me at least its hard with out pics.... :)

    attached a picture of the bent one, the rest are in used but undamaged condition. that bent part is on the outside of the wheel, so it does get seen when driving.

    actually it turns out $325 once I pay the gas to go get them. so now it's $325 + repair costs + $312 tires = $700... guess it's not a good deal.

    i say trd but make sure you go to a place where they can fix the wheel well. one place i went to fixed the wheel but it was forever balanced incorrectly. i mean.. it made the balancing of the tire go bad very quickly.

    That's because it isn't a true TRD wheel. It's just a rebadged piece of crap wheel. I remember finding the exact wheel in the Team Loco catalog. The true TRD wheels have to be imported. The TRD wheels here are mostly rebadges.
