Can someone help explain?

Instead of just taking the tires off the bad 17" rims and putting them back on good rims he wants them to give him a set of the 18" rims with new tires that fit them.

But, I knew what you meant ...... I went to a small country school also .....

Ha, that is what I get for trying to fat finger a quick explanation using my phone during a break at work. All well.

Sorry, I did not realize just how badly I had butchered that explanation. #proofread

Any way, the stock rims ""$400.00 each" and tires are 17's. "as I am sure you know"

The TRD rims "$250.00 each" Toyota agreed to give to me for all the trouble I have had with the RS 2.0 rims are 18's. Toyota also agreed to put tires on the TRD rims. They allowed me to spend up to $1900.00 on parts and labor to make sure I was a satisfied customer.

Not meaning to look a gift horse in the mouth...

If those 18 inch TRD wheels are the TRD USA versions pictured below:


Be aware they are on the heavy side at about 23lbs. Not the end of the world, and I currently run them myself... but I also have a set of 14.7 lb wheels I am going to try out soon.

I don't race or track this car. Not that big of a deal to me. Just didn't want to deal with peeling rims when my warranty is up.

4 trd wheels with tires would cost around as much as 4 oem rs wheels without tires. He got new wheels and tires rather than just wheels.

i have the accessory wheels (exact same as the RS2.0 wheels but in the matte grey color) - not the painted shiny black like the ones that come on the RS2.0 - no problem whatsoever on these. maybe it only affects the shiny coating on the stock RS2.0 wheels

This explanation is simple yet crystal!! Thank you.

I'd rather have the stock RS 2.0 forged wheels, even pealed , then the TRD wheels.

Or you could have gotten new replacements, sold them for some kind of $, and put that money towards Rays / Volk wheels (offset that cost), that would have been the ultimate.
