im dead sure on the GU ones, definatly 16's
was quoted $200 for a GU one at a wreaker, but keep an eye out on the trading post!
im pretty sure the GLX would be too

Pre 92 GXL were 15" & 93 onwards are 16".

Also a Landcruiser rim has the same stud pattern as the Hilux & Nissan Patrol.

BTW- a original GXL rim 16x8 will set you back approx $80-100 each where you can buy a new Sunrasier (white steel rim) for around $60.

GU offset is no good for most 4wd's

they dont fit on a hilux as the rim hits the steering arm balljoints

You'd by lucky to get a new 16x8" Sunny style rim for under $100.

You're prob thinking of 15x8", they are around $55.

Couple of guys in our club have experienced pin hole cracks in GXL rims that have been wheeled hard. Constant deflation, causing a pain in the %^^%. We had another one fail suddenly while approaching a bridge on the Cape, and almost went A over T into the creek. Attributed to a crack failure. (was in 4x4 Austrlaia back page recently)
