That and they might actually be weak wheels. A lot of Touren wheels look to have a weight rating of 1,600lbs. Considering your Sienna has a GVWR of 5,995lbs based on a payload of ~1,200lbs, you might be routinely over loading those wheels depending on the weight distribution of your passengers and cargo.
So yeah, in my opinion steel wheels would have looked better. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  |
The proportions look off? It's the factory rim and wheel size. It's literally the exact same size side wall and wheel you'd get if you went to Toyota and bought an XLE off the lot.
Steelies look crappy because they're inset too far into the wheel well on a Sienna. That's where you get gibbled proportions.
I agree that too-open wheels look like crap unless the vehicle has proportionately large disks and calipers, but I can assure you that is not the case here.
But I guess you guys have cleared it up for me. People are buying steelies because they look so great. Makes perfect sense and isn't completely ######ed at all.
