well, I couldn't pass these up. I paid $150 for all 4 here in Japan, and I'm not 100% I'm going to like them unless I change the color or something. If they don't suit my taste once I get some rubber on them, I will either put them up for sale, or put them on my dad's 95 Hardbody. what do you guys think?

sizes are 16x8 +5 offset

Thanks man, I'm thinking of having the spokes powder coated bronze, I think it would look sick with my white paint. I'm trying to research what kind of wheels they are though, they say made in Japan so I know they're a good brand.

I know what you mean, I was going to paint my stock wheels when I go back home too, then I started finding wheels like these sitting around. I actually found another set that have the same look, only they are 5 spoke. these are about the same price, I can try and order them if you like.

I just double checked the sizes, they are 16x8 +10

But now winters coming and they gotta go back on...wish i could get my hands on a deal like yours!

they will be on soon, I'll have to have my dad take them and the new tires I order to NTB or somewhere. maybe theres places out there in the midwest giving deals on tires right now?

I might have to pick up a couple sets to ship back for when you guys want a winter set of wheels, but still look custom at the same time? I just need to figure out what are the best offsets when I pick them up! I've found alot of wheels in this style all for less then $150, sometimes as cheap as $50 for 4 wheels. its the shipping that kills me.

anyways, updates will be posted shortly.

I have no idea on shipping there. its kind of hard for me to ship to anywhere outside the 50 states.

anyways, a quick search located these.

18x8 TE37X

18x9 Enkei

Thats about it for now, I found a number of others, but the offsets are way too high!

Damnnnit! I just did a search, and they do offer the BFG AT T/A KO in 265/65R18.....Now I wanna buy the Volks!! I guess I'll see what these wheels look like on my dads truck! I hate when this happens!

added..

I just found these too, they are asking $2K for all 5, but I know there is no one with them!!

if there are any wheel pros out there, let me know if these sizes would work without tons of modification. 18x9 +30offset

Without a lift I doubt 265/75/16's will fit. I've got a 3" lift and that's what I'm planning on throwing on. I thought that our factory offset was -12 but I could be wrong.

I would not put a light weight racing rim on any suv or truck . A TE37 is very lite and I can see you bending a rim easier than on a car. I had a set on my old 2000 celica. For that price though i would buy them and post them on ebay.

Take the first set you posted, powdercoat just the spokes bronze, then put a bronze pinstripe around the outside of the chrome, it will have a two tone look to it, something really different...

I liked the white ones, but may be too much with a white car! You'll look like Mr. Clean going down the road

JSM02 - Thats an interesting idea, since they are probably the only set that will be floating around in the states, I'll go ahead and try it.

Fueler - YES!! I paid $150 for all 4, the 2nd set I posted are still forsale out here and are close to the same price.

TurboGST - Volk takes that into consideration and purpose build these TE37's to handle more stress then their road or cup wheels. a few race teams actually use TE37's in Dakar, and T2 events, I think they put way more stress on their wheels then I ever would.

Empty - I do plan on doing a lift, but I'd like to lift it as little as possible to fit either a 265/65R16 or a 265/65/R18.

I like the agressiveness of the White TE37's, I'm going to have one of my local friends here in Tokyo call up Volk racing, and ask how much it would be to change the White ones to Bronze.

Can anyone tell me what are the factory offsets and sizes of wheels that were available on the 2001+ pathys?

My OEM 2001 QX4 wheels are 16x7 and I think 4.5" of backspacing with a -12 offset.

Empty - if your back spacing is 4.5, I think your offset is +12? I could be wrong, but this is where I get my wheel info from

https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html

it looks like if I'm going to pick up a set of TE37's in 18's then I have to buy them new, all the sets I found would have a rediculas amount of offset. if I run an 18x8 with +0 offset, it would puch me exactly 12mm closer to the fender. That should look really good I think.

Sweet good to know. So say i see a set of TSW rims I want on my pathfinder would I be ok with putting them on as long as there the right off set? I dont go off road .

Sicwitit,

I know this is kind of an old thread, but I gotta have some 5-spoke wheels like those posted above. Can you find me a set? These are the closest things to Regamasters that I can put on my 720.
