Any recommendations? Rockauto has Keystone for a Toyota Venza 20 " wheels with a 5yr warranty. Any good?
 
Are there any Lexus wheels that catch your eye? Sometimes you can get take off OEM wheels at very affordable prices ensuring you get good quality construction and fit from a known source. Aftermarket can sometimes be sketchy if you don't go for the more spendy names.
 
Find the dimensions of your wheel and find a set of OEMs of that size. Cheap aftermarket wheels seem to look like crap after a few years.

It would be really cool if they were any other brand than Toyota or Lexus.

Only need one wheel for use as a full spare tire.
 
Keystone are likely repaired OE.

You have checked to Toyota Discounters right, like Sparks Parts and Olathe Toyota....?
 
Best place for finding pre-owned wheels:

It's not a reseller, it's the actual inventory system most junkyards in the US use. Find a wheel that fits your needs, call the actual yard, and they will take payment and ship it to you..

$180 is reasonable for a recon wheel. A junkyard would want $150 for a scratched up used one plus nail you for shipping. How much is new from the dealer?
 
Buy 5 aftermarket 17-inch wheels from Tire Rack

Better yet, find one preferably at a place you can drive to, so that you can make the transaction there.
 
IIRC, the Keystones are refinished factory wheels. if refinished properly, they are good wheels and look good. (I have kids..... I've had 3 factory wheels refinished)
Or, just choose wheels from your local tire store like DT.

Every time I use the forum, I learn something new and car-parts.com appears to be a great resource. More focused on used auto parts than eBay.

I already contacted an auto recycler and he is quoting $150 + shipping. Thank you Spavel6.
