Toyota TRD Wheel Buyer's Guide
If you are considering upgrading your original Toyota wheels, a set of TRD performance wheels is the perfect choice. TRD wheels undergo the same stringent design and testing process as every OEM Toyota part, ensuring perfect fitment, performance, and safety.
Why Choose TRD Wheels For Your Toyota?
Aftermarket wheels are a popular upgrade for many Toyota owners. You may be tempted to go for a non-OEM option. But there are several reasons why a genuine TRD Toyota wheel, like our very popular 17-inch Matte Black alloy wheels for the 2013+ 4Runner, is the superior choice.
Size And Fitment
TRD wheels are designed to fit specific Toyota models. This means that they have the perfect offset, so the tires won’t rub inside the arches, and the rubber won’t damage the bodywork over bumps.
Aftermarket wheels are generic in design and can often be too wide, large, or heavy. This compromises the ride quality and may damage the bodywork when making sharp turns or going over bumps.
Our team of Toyota experts at Olathe Toyota is on hand if you have any questions about TRD wheels and accessories. You can also read our blogs on specific TRD wheels, like the TRD Pro wheels that fit a variety of 4Runner, Tacoma, and FJ Cruiser models.
Strength And Safety
TRD wheels are race-tested, ensuring that they will withstand years of hard use without any issues. They are also made from lightweight cast aluminum, which makes them very light yet very strong.
This also lowers the unsprung mass, benefiting ride quality. Aftermarket wheels do not go through the extensive development process that all TRD wheels do. So they are often heavier than an OEM wheel, and they may not meet strict manufacturer structural and strength requirements.
Styling And Design
Styling is a personal thing, and there are many crazy wheel designs out there. While some of these designs may look great, they don’t always consider brake cooling, wheel strength, or safety.
TRD wheels are designed to work on specific Toyota models and all come with the signature TRD center caps. This means that off-road wheels can handle rough terrain and heavy loads without a problem. TRD wheels for sporty Toyotas will focus on a lightweight design and efficient brake cooling. Whichever wheel you choose, make sure to read our blog on how to properly clean and repair your TRD wheels.
Aftermarket wheels are generic in design. They are made to work with a wide range of vehicles, which means that they are inevitably compromised.
Warranty
Every TRD wheel comes with a manufacturer’s warranty. This gives you the peace of mind that comes with any OEM Toyota part. Aftermarket wheels rarely come with a warranty, and if they do, they are unlikely to be as comprehensive.
