Hello,

I need to replace the wheels on my 1990 4Runner SR5. There are 3 types of
wheels that were available for it originally. Specifically, plain steel, a
fancier steel wheel, and aluminum alloys. I have 4 of the fancier steel
wheels and 1 of the plain steel (spare tire rim).

What has happened is that the rims have rusted inside and the tires slowly
leak. This has happened with 1 of the fancier rims and the plain steel one.
I've had them checked a couple of times and there isn't much that can be
done with them other than cleaning up the area as best as possible and
applying extra sealant to the rim. Unfortunately, the tires still leak.

I checked the local junkyards, but was unable to find any. I've also kept an
eye on the local area buy/sell paper without any luck. An online search came
up with the plain steel rims at $100 each. Ouch. Once I found a set of alloy
wheels for $300, but they were located in CA and the shipping to the
Northeast would have been prohibitive. This vehicle isn't fancy at all. I
just want to make it safer and not have to put air in the tires every few
days.

Does anyone here have any sources?

Thanks in advance to those who post a reply here.

Peter.
