Hey Guys

A friend of mine wants to change the rims of his FJ.He was thinking bigger rims, like about 19 or 21s..but since those would take off its off-roading capabilities i suggested him not to.Now he wants to replace the stock 16's with a new set of rims w/ the same set of tyres.Any1 know of places to find a good collection of 16s for an FJ ?? No shj one pls.

seen a few with TRD orignals... they come in expensive but give a stealth look with some more body parts...

Rota is great (Y)

Depends on what exhaust he wants. You won't find anything good below 3k.

Just tell him to straightpipe his FJ %#%$ putting a proper exhaust on an FJ.

If he really wants an exhaust he should go for a full setup something like this

Straight pipe < catback exhaust system.
Exhaust with back pressure is always better than no pressure ( straight pipe )

Respect with straight pipe > Respect with catback.
Backfire from straightpipe > back pressure from catback.
