    I was searching for new wheels for my Tacoma. Went with Fuel Trophy. They have two offsets, +6mm and -6mm. I went -6mm for a wider stance. Still stock 265/65 tires but they stick out about 2.25" wider. I like the stance. Also I have Billies at 1.75" up front. Just thought I would post in case anybody else was looking into these. 4uqeqydy_6f7767a009f8e16d0814a36d8081b6667a4af493.jpggabegeqa_1726b4636c11d26153e3ffd0f05e257a3059e904.jpgyty7emaj_fdf124774cfae951544a25eff85082f6911027db.jpgme8azeme_fc5850a3ee4eed314153361938a549727a831975.jpg

    Looks good in my opinion! But I'm just biased.

    Wow! Your truck looks amazing!! Ya we need more pics to see the poke please!
    Im guessing you went with the 108mm center bore since fuel doesnt make the trophy wheel in our 106.4 bore?
    Did you use the 108-106 hub centric rings?

    Yes, 108 bore. No rings, but I have not noticed any shake.

    That's great news! Probably has allot to do with who balanced your tires. Glad to here all is good running the 108 bore
    But I will stick to being hub centric and lug centric

    Truck looks pretty well.

    Did you have problems of shaking with your fuel octane. I have Procomp 7089 and they shake, and it's not the tire cause i've switch tires from one Wheel to the other and still have 18 oz of weight on one Wheel at the same place. Looking for option.

    I like the fuel trophy black with anthracite ring. They are not heavy and look nice. Glad to ear Speedstar dont have any problem. He runs stock AT20, a bit easier to balance then agressive offroad tires.

    Wow 18oz is a ton. Have you had tire shop try to spin tire on wheel 180 degrees on wheel?

    Absolutely not shaking. Purchased from goodyear store and they rotate balance them every 5k for free. Also got a 3 year alignment agreement with them for $180 so I get an alignment every rotation.

    I've changed the model of tire and had the same problem after with closely the same amount of weights at the same place. So the problem is the Wheel. We spend almost 1 hour per Wheel with a friend to balance them.:eek: No tire shop will do that.

    Had my CNC guy make me some flush mount billet caps for these wheels. I like them way better than the regular caps.

    I have the same rims(trophyD551). I just had my wheels rebalanced with a road force balancer machine and any vibrations I had are now gone. I didn't know this but my rims didn't have the rings because Fuel don't make them. The guys at the shop failed to tell me this. It's a 2mm gap so maybe it's not so bad but wheels can work without rings but it's better to have them since that's a crucial connection, hub to wheel. Lot of force on there.

    I am having a similar issue. Mine are not balancing right. Yesterday Discount Tires swapped out for a whole new set of tires same ones but new. The manager told me that the rims where hub centric but everything I have come across is telling me that they are not. Therefore, I do not have the hub ring in. On another post here, a discount tire rep claimed fuel wheels are lug centric. Can anyone clarify or confirm this?
