My new Toyota "Orana" wheels are here!

[PreciousPups4U]

I had been searching for these since someone from Portugal posted photos of these on her car. Absolutely loved them. (I assume the photos were lost in the hack) Of course they are not available in the U.S. It was difiicult to locate someone selling them and willing to ship them to the U.S. at a reasonable price. Nice guy even included the Toyota center caps, lug nuts and locking lug nuts as well and they arrived in only 4 days from the UK. WOW! That is great service.:thumbup:

Probably won't be able to get them installed until next week. Too much going on this week and it's suppose to rain most of the week. I would not want my new wheels to get wet.:biggrin:

Those should look very nice! Congrats on the purchase.

[SIPNGAS]

I like those!! Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for them?

[PreciousPups4U]

They were around $400, there was the conversion issue with US dollars and pounds. Also had to pay some fees to UPS, import fees I suppose. Not bad and they are genuine Toyota. I think they run a wheel place and someone upgraded their wheels and they were selling off the stock ones. They are pretty much like new, only one or two very minor dings on them.

[Chupacabra]

nice...should look pretty good.

[jetaimejsc]

i like those, your car is going to look awesome.

edit. How big are they, 16' 17'?

[PreciousPups4U]

They are 15" just like the Toyota alloys in the U.S. I am also assuming the width is the same. I am hoping to use the same tires for now.

wow that is a great find I can't wait to see them on your LB

[kimona]

I love them!!! Gets some pics up soon.

[PetersRedYaris]

That is the single best looking factory Toyota wheel I have ever seen. Nice pick...

[TKO]

Very nice. How did you end up locating them? Was it someone from here?

[PreciousPups4U]

Me either. Probably be next week though.

I love them!!! Gets some pics up soon.

Thanks kimona. Means a lot coming from someone who is the go to person for wheels.

That is the single best looking factory Toyota wheel I have ever seen. Nice pick...

I think so, too.

Very nice. How did you end up locating them? Was it someone from here?

Actually found them on ebay uk. Then had to figure out the shipping to the US. Also he had to see if he could get the center caps and everything. It worked out fine and he was great to work with. I am very happy. Now we gotta get them installed.

Also gotta decide whether my alloys are going on husband's Yaris or if he wants the aftermarkets I bought him last month. Either way I'll have a set of wheels for sale.

[thebarber]

looking forward to seeing them on your car

oem tuff ftw

I really thought you wanted the blue wheels? But these are really nice as well =)

[PreciousPups4U]

I love the blue, too, but since mine is the Bayou Blue and not the Blazing Blue I was afraid the blues would not match and therefore not look right. I still think white with a blue lip (in the right color) would look awesome.

These were just too unique. Maybe the only ones in the US. I think they will look great. I just couldn't pass them up.

[KCALB SIRAY]

def nice choice

[Klink10]

Outstanding....if I wasn't running Honda rims those I would get.

[PreciousPups4U]

Found some pics Moura had posted before the hack. Google saved them. She has the Orana wheels. Loved them on her car.

Can't wait to get them installed.

very nice wheels. must nicer than the wheels that come with the 09 s sedan w/ aerokit, or the 09 hb rs. but nicest factory toyota wheels? I'd definitely say they're the nicest 4x100 factory wheels.

the tundra OEM's are nicer:

OK, got the wheels and the TRD sway bar installed today. Love the wheels. :biggrin: They are even sparkly in the sun. Some kind of metallic I suppose.

Looks like I have a set of 2008 alloys for sale if anyone is interested.

[kimona]

Now that's very nice, indeed. And a TRD rear anti-sway bar, too. Good work!

Found these little jewels off a European Corolla

Those look great. I love the multi spoke look. Will look awesome on the xb. UK Toyota FTW!:thumbup:

[revoturbo]

awesome wheels .. paint with white.. :thumbsup:

[Jansen]

Curious how much they weigh though... If you could dig it up I'm sure someone would be interested.

[PreciousPups4U]

I am afraid I have already had them mounted on the car and I did not think to weigh them before I had them installed. I will check the box and packaging to see if it is noted anywhere.

Weight was not that important to me. I love them no matter what.

[PreciousPups4U]

very cool wheels, they would look awesome in gunmetal too i believe. but yeah they seem heavy. congrats Cin

how much was the sway b?

Thanks PK! I think I'd like them in gunmetal, too, but will leave them oem for now. Maybe if they get messed up or something I'll consider painting them. Not even sure where to get that done.

Got lucky on the sway bar. $151.99 from a local Toyota dealer. They had a listing on ebay and since they were local, no shipping. I just had to drive across town and pick it up. They were even having a special "no sales tax sale" so I got it for $151.99 flat. Tire people charged me $15 to install it.

[PreciousPups4U]

If you just email them I am sure they can take care of it. That's really all I did.
