    I just purchased a 2022 SR5 Premium. Living in Alaska, I am planning on getting a pair of Blizzaks for the winter. Rather than dealing with changing from summer to winter tires each year, I've decided I'd rather buy a second set of rims for the Blizzaks, and I'll leave the stock tires/wheels on for summer driving. I am pretty clueless as far as sizes/features/what is best for different driving conditions, and even after stalking the forums for a while, I am overwhelmed by options and not sure which way to go, so I am hopeful for some recs...
    Some background - No plans for off-roading or lifting it (I know...why get a 4Runner - but I want a reliable winter vehicle that doesn't struggle getting out of my driveway, and want to tow a small camper/boat and have better clearance). So, I'd like to stick with stock size 17's because I don't want to worry about rubbing, etc. And while looks aren't obviously the most important part, I'm leaning towards a wheel in some sort of graphite/dark grey color since my 4Runner is Nautical Blue. I'd like to find something around 1k. If anyone on the forum is from Alaska and has suggestions of stores that offer more affordable shipping to Alaska, I'm all ears. Any suggestions on a quality wheel that fits the bill? I think I suffer from having too many options and no clue where to start...

    Welcome from Wisconsin! If you want to stick with the stock size there are hundreds of wheels that would work for you. Do you have a tire shop near by? They may also sell wheels, and if ask them to look at a wheel catalog, you should be able to find exactly what you're looking for.
