Try Ebay. I got my 5-spoke OEM alloy wheels for $299 with less than 5 miles on them and removed at dealer lot. Perfect condition. I also searched Craigslist looking for TRD wheels, but they were all sold by the time I saw them. I have a full set of steel wheels with the tires that have about 400 miles stacked up in the garage. I will be listing the set for $500 when I get the time to do it. Good luck.

I have the "Styled" wheels like in both pics, center caps, and the tires installed. The tires themselves are worth $190 each, and the rims are selling on ebay for $250-300/set. So thats avout $1000 worth of tire/rims for $500. Both tires and wheels are in perfect condition and have 99.9% rubber remaining. I think that is fair.

I had them on craigslist at $450 and my damn phone wouldnt stop ringing. Took them down as I didnt have a day off from the department for a number of days to show them, and needed my phone to shut up. I havnt put them back up yet, just cause i forgot about them for a couple of weeks. They will go to Craigslist at $500 firm, and will be gone within a couple of days.

Jeremy- Try looking at both ebay and craigslist. Both are good places to find deals. Just exercise good judgement, use Paypal, and read sellers feedback, and you can save a small fortune.

I have the steel wheels like in the pic and I can get MIchellins for about $160 a piece or the Pirelli Scorpions for $114. I can get the Hankooks for $151 a piece to my door. I was hoping to find the Enkies with a set of new tires (Take offs) for a great deal. I go through tires too fast to not have like new tires and even then I know they will not last long due to the exsisiting age on the rubber. (Sigh) I don't know. I can get a NEW set of tires which would give me at least an extra 10000 lies worth or wear or go older but not used much for close to the same price. Dangit, I had a set I was going to buy and I lost my job. Got the new job and POOF they were gone. CRAP!

I feel for ya. I went through the same thing looking for TRD wheels. Everytime I would find a set in good shape, I was 5 minutes late calling. Finally I said screw it and bought the OEM alloy wheels instead. Still an upgrade, but not what I originally wanted.

I found a set with used tires that was too good to pass up. Enkies with Michelin's on them.
