Just bought the 20 Enkei wheels and I have a few questions. First off I have a 4runner not a tacoma, but there doesn't seem to be much discussion going on in the 4 runner forum and I've read the previous posts here on the 20" Enkei's. I really want to see a pic of the wheels with 285/50/20 tires. And does anyone know why there is a additional hole in the backside of the rim for another valve stem---whats the reasoning for this. Plan on calling Enkei to get an answer on this--dealer did not seem to know.
Got them at my local toyota dealer after they matched a price I got from another Toyota dealership that has an ebay store, but is about 5 hours away. Same wheels that they put on the xsp package on the 4runners. I ordered 265/50/20's---Toyo's

The extra hole is for the TPS sensor. (Tire Pressure System) on 2006+ models.

No pics yet. Maybe once I get the tires and have them installed--probably about a week. I thought about the extra hole being for the tpms, but it just does not make sense. The tpms is part of the valve stem assembly. Why would you need another hole? My stock 17's have the tpms and 1 hole in the wheel. I don't plan on using the tpms anyway if I don't have to.
2 valve design is for Nitrogen filling. Add nitrogen to one while purging the air from the other.
Not according to Enkei. Just got off the phone with someone at their FL manufacturing location and was told it was for the tpms. Was told the wheel was not originally designed for tpms and the extra valve stem hole was a request by Toyota. Still don't fully understand, as I've seen these wheels on vehicles at the dealership with the tpms valve on the front. Maybe it was a design issue with the tpms valve stems, that has since been resolved. Maybe older style tmps valves would not fit in the front hole?--Just speculating.
