    Get something like a dynamic steel jobbie, cost around $95, depending on size

    the centre hole will need to be 110mm check as Tojo ones are smaller.
    you can put Patrol rims on a Tojo but you cant put Tojo rims on a Patrol

    I have just had dramas with a cheap rim that was made of seriously inferior steel. Get a new brand named one like ROH as an example.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Absolutely agree... indeed I wouldn't buy a cheap rim if I am offroad or outback touring period.
    They are cheap because they are shit.

    Dynamic, ROH etc are the go, they may fail as well but it takes a serious hit to do it

    The wreckers normally sell rims cheap have a good look at the first make sure they aren't buckled. If your lucky it might come with a tyre too

    My new 15x8" rims (CSA Ranger Black) from Bridgestone cost me $80 each, I think they undercharged me as they were supposed to $85 if memory serves. I purchased 5.
