Hi,

I am buying a 2019 Highlander Limited and do not like the look of the Chromtec wheels. Has anyone successfully swapped them out for a different rim? I like the XLE or SE rims.

Thanks,
D

It doesn't really matter if someone else was able to swap them for free. Each dealer will decide that for themselves.

Just put a handwritten clause in the sales contract, and initial it, and get the sales manager to initial it, before you sign it. They will either do it, not do it, or charge you extra. If you are willing to take rims off a demo model, that might help convince them.

Rims from any 3rd gen Highlander will work. Make sure to get 19s if you want to reuse your tires.

I bought my '16 used. It was immaculate except that three of the four Chromtecs were rashed up. Dealer gave me enough of a discount to cover a set of take-offs from an '18 SE. They're on the car now and look great.
