| Need to replace all 4. A combination of age and general condition. Can't read the label inside the door, but the vehicle currently runs on 205/70/14. These appear rather difficult to get hold off and reading the plethora of threads here on the subject, it's a size that never gets a mention, so they may well be incorrect. The wheels are factory fitted Toyota alloys as you can see on the image below. The closest and most oft mentioned size is the 205/70/15. I'd appreciate any comments or advice. | |

| Found the wheels on a Japanese website.
They ARE a 14 inch rim.
This is going to be fun sourcing those at a reasonable price. | |

Or am I missing something important here? | |

Or am I missing something important here? Cheers for that. Not a website I had investigated as I had only been considering fully fitted. Might have to go with this, then get my local garage to fit. | |

Cheers.... I love them as well. Only problem is that I'm missing 3 of the 4 centres. Been trying to source them for years without success. Did find a set in Japan, but they would have cost roughly the same as a full set of alloys, so had to pass on them. Even considered trying to get something similar manufactured, but wouldn't know where to start. Frustrating. | |

| In the U.S. you would be a lot better off going to a 15” wheel. I ordered a set of used steel wheel off a late model Hiace to use because it’s hard to find aftermarket wheel hear at least with such a high offset. Hers a link to what I ordered. There sold out but I’m sure there’s more available on the site with search. Also, if your interested I’m selling the mag wheels that I took of my Hiace.
