This 18" x 7.5" wheel has a 42 mm offset and a 5 on 100 mm bolt circle (P.C.D.) and a 54mm center bore. This wheel uses conical-seat hexagonal 19mm wrench-flat lugnuts. This TRD wheel is sold individually and includes one snap-in TRD center cap, five hexagonal conical-seat lug nuts and one 21 mm-to-19 mm adaptor tool, all in the wheel box.

looking into getting these with my trd lowering springs will they be too big/heavy or should i not care and just put them on?

it's all personal taste man see if you can find the weight spec. compare and contrast to what you have now if they are heavier you will lose gas mileage due to the extra resistance at the wheel although bigger rims will allow your brakes to breath better, although with the TRD lowering springs you may have to add in the factor of rubbing just make sure they clear and get spacers to compensate the offset.

Didn't see this earlier. It seems like I remember the weight spec being around 22 lbs a wheel but I'm having a difficult time finding the exact weight right now.
