The ROH rims will cost over a $100 each, anything less than that and they are probably going to be Speedy rims if they are the Sunraysia lookalikes.
I got 5 ROH Trak 2 rims for $545 in March last year and no matter how hard I tried, I couldnt get them any cheaper. Even the manager of the tyre store tried while I listened and he couldnt get them any cheaper.
A word on the Speedy rims. They are not Australian made and I have them on my camper trailer, and after two years rust has krept under the powdercoating and large areas of powdercoat are lifting and peeling off.
Its so bad that I actually thought about taking them off before a recent trip to the Pilbara in case their integrity had been compromised, but time got away from me. They survived the trip OK.
As a comparison, I also have an old set of ROH's that have been laying around in the dirt for several years, and there is no sign of any rust under the powdercoat on them. You can tell the Speedy rims by the red and blue stripes around the rim, ROH has one black stripe.
From memory, the Speedys were around $90 per rim when the ROH's were around $109 per rim. I'd pay the extra to get the ROHs.
You also need to be aware that ROH dont make a rim with the Prado offset, the closest being the Navara, which means the rim isnt as deep resulting in the rubber sticking out about 20-25mm wider than on the standard Toyota 16x7 rim. It will mean that on compression and full lock there will be some rubbing.
