If you are comparing two wheels of the same build standard and quality, the bottom line is there are no where near the number of 19" wheels sold when compared to 18". When a manufacturer has to spread their tooling cost across a fewer number of potential sales, the price of each wheel sold is going to be higher.

I have a few set in stock now , both with tires and less tires . I will try and get a few more pic's posted on and off the tc . This is a top of the line set of 19" wheels. I have sold quite a few of the other top brands over the years for Mercedes Benz "we are a Toyota / Scion / Mercedes Benz dealer" I think TRD did well with this setup this has to be one of the best I have seen as far as quality . Looks awsome on the tc .

Well, first off, not just TRD's 19" is more expensive than 18". Most other companies 19s are more expensive than 18".

They are made by BBS??? Thats not what i heard form here though, some ppl said they are made by a company called "Team Fusion" (I have personally seen these 18s at the dealership with "Team Fusion" center caps on, instead of TRD!
