My new Toyota "Orana" wheels are here!
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.
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. |

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.

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |
