    Thank you Bob! It's my pleasure to be able to help support someone who contributes so significantly to our community.

    Thanks guys! 17" firm release date : late June / early July. We will have a final production sample on hand in approximately one week. We'll photograph and video the 17" Five Star extensively so everyone can get a really idea of how the wheel looks.

    Our process takes a little longer, because we try very hard to fine tune and refine the product for release. I'm also anxiously awaiting the release date just like you guys. I am going to put a set on my truck too! :) Thank you all for your support and patience.

    Thanks for the compliment! Unfortunately, as you know, a spindle lift is pretty much out of the question for a 4WD.

    17x8.5" will have an offset of -6mm, which gives a backspacing of 4.5". This will be a great fitment, but less aggressive than the 16x8" / -25mm offset version.

    We did consider a 16x8" 0mm offset, but if we made the 16x8" with a -10mm offset the design would have to be changed to have less lip / less concave spokes. We do offer a couple of other designs in 16x8" / 0mm offset already, so we wanted to have something a little more aggressive to offer.

    However, we definitely haven't ruled out the option for a less aggressive 16x8" / 0mm offset Five Star for the future. If enough people ask us for it we always listen to customer demand.

    Yes, however we are not sure if we will offer the 17x8.5" Five Star in 5x150 for the '07+ Tundra at this time. If we have enough demand for it, we will. Would you be interested in a set if we do make them?

    No problem! I'll be here. :) :) :)

    I will try to get a photo for you as soon as I can. That photo was taken the day the sample came in, and I don't have a full set of four samples right now (just one in each color). I'll try to get a tire on one of the for a photo for you as soon as I can.

    Thanks Bob!
