I tried EVERYTHING when I first bought my truck in 2012 to get a set of those wheels, as far as to bribe the parts guy at the dealership but to no avail. Wish you had the white letters out so I could have gotten the whole effect.

What are your 5100s set at up front? I was thinking of getting a set to regain the height I lost when I added the ARB as well as level. In your pictures you look a bit nose high, is that the driveway or how your truck sits?

 

I also had trouble trying to find/order the grey baja wheels. after searching i found TRD parts4u out of Dallas. Everyone I spoke to was super nice and helpful. I didn't need a VIN to order the wheels. Within days after ordering they were at my door. I highly recommend ordering through them. Here is a link to the grey Baja wheels.

With my stock wheels I did have the white letters out. I debated keeping them out with the baja wheels but i decided not to as I like the clean look and considering I had already shaved my emblems it only seemed right to go letters in.

I don't have the Bilstein 5100's on yet. In the pics the truck is on a slightly slanted driveway. Measuring on a flat surface, the front sits exactly 1 inch lower then the rear. When I do install the 5100's I plan on setting them at .85

 

Nice set up! I got lucky and found a set of those wheels used for my MGM. I agree with Mcfly on the whites letters out (even though mine are black out right now, long story) but thats a personal preference and either way your rig is looking good and clean. Now get your 5100's on and we will be twins.

 

They must have lifted (some of) the restrictions getting those wheels. I ordered my black beadlocks through them and they were super helpful getting them to me (having to special order two of them as they only had two in stock). I tried getting the gray ones and their reply was "not a chance...we can barely get the black ones these days." I suppose if I had waited, it would have worked out, but what can you do.

I'm glad to hear you don't have the 5100s on yet, because I had assumed you did and I was surprised your front wheel gap wasn't bigger.

I think for my setup, I'll have to go with the 1.75 to counter the ARB weight. Looking forward to pictures.

 

Looking good! I have the black ones on my TX, but was considering getting them powder coated gunmetal.

 

I'm debating on to use .85 or 1.75 on the 5100's. I currently still have the stock 3 leafs in the rear and I'm worried about being nose high. I'm hoping to get a recall letter soon so I can get the 4 leaf replacements.

 

Looks Good

 

Thank you.

 

Thanks for the pic, I'm getting those same wheels also, but in black. After seeing your ride, I may have to do the white letters out so it doesn't look too plain. I'll post pics sometime within next 2 weeks

 

Truck Looks Good
Wheels set it off

 

Sharp looking truck. I would go .85 and get the 4 leaf pack and call it good.

I also purchased a color matched grill surround and rear bumper for my 4x4 off road, perfect looking truck now. Funny thing is I sold my take offs on CL and it cost me next to nothing to color match.

 

Very clean looking truck!

 

Is there a way to purchase the 4 leaf pack?

 

Looks like you chose to go letters in. Truck looks great! Nice and clean

 

Looks nice.

 

Thanks! I can't decide if I want to get Bilstein 5100 shocks or not. Is there much difference in the stock Tokico shocks and the 5100's?

 

Installed the bilstein 5100's last night. Set them at .85. I will take pics tomorrow. The stock Tokico shocks were totally shot with 25k miles. The ride is so much better with the Bilstien's
