Wheels for a Prado 120 GX?

Hello!
This question has been up on the forum before but I have not been able to find a good sollution :-) So here we go again.. I am looking for a set of wheels for my 2009 Prado GX. Since it is a GX without fender flares it has an offset at ET50 as standard. I have been looking everywhere for a matching set of wheels but I just can't find them! I intend to mount, 235/80 R17 tyres so I assume that I will need wheels 7 inches wide. 7.5 might work as well as an offset at ET45 should also be OK. There are wheels in 17 inches with bold pattern 139.7 matching the widebody version everywhere with ET20 or ET30 but unfortunately none in ET50 that I have found so far. I can accept both alloy or steel as long as they match my offset. And, no, I do not want to mount flares! That is the last alternative when I am totally stranded..

I would really appreciate any help here! Who makes such a wheel?

the 7.5 wide 17" ET 30 rims will fit without putting flares on , especially if you are using skinny 235/80 17 tyres . Lots of the later Prado,s GX have them on from new..http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/richl...res/1037271490
These are Toyota rims and will fit ...to far to post though.

Later GXs, the GX Limited and post Sept 06 GXs had the wider wheels but also had flares too. Have a look at Samo's 120 build to see how they fit with our flares.
