    Can't wait to see those photos! No problem on the stickers! Thank you for supporting us.

    I'll see what I can do on some narrower wheels. There's a lot that goes into making a new mould, and I usually like to get about 20 - 25 customers lined up first if I'm going to have a really unique / specific size made (say a 15x7" or 16x7" offroad wheel). I don't mind putting up my own my funds to fund mould engineering and wheel testing and certification for more common fitments, but for something a little more specialized it helps me to know that I have a few sets pre-sold. I'm definitely willing to entertain requests for custom fitments if the demand is there. :)

    I should have some photos of the 255mm / 33" OD tires on 16x8" Countersteer Offroads somewhere. I'm working on adding more to our gallery, and I'll dig through my archives to try to find these photos.

    Thank you for representing! :) I think our sticker likely increased the performance of your laptop. ;) Just kidding of course.

    got my stickers in the mail yesterday!!! now gotta wait to shine the truck up to throw one on the truck and then hopefully i can get a chance to clean out my work shed so i can actually get to my toolbox to put one on it. Really liking the design of the logo, very clean!!

    so you are saying that you are pretty sure we could run 255's on the 16x8's?

    You absolutely can. Check most 255/85 tire wheel width recommendations and 8" is typically the maximum. So you can, and I know people who do and have no issues. The sole worry that people have is if and how much one should air down and how hard you can hit the trail while aired down. If you don't typically air down then you're fine. In fact, I will most likely just run 255/85s on these wheels and be careful about airing down. I'm just waiting/hoping for a siped m+s rated AT tire that is quality to come in that size.

    PM sent to you! Thank you too!

    Awesome! Thank you for representing the FN Wheels logo! :) BuzzardsGottaEat is absolutely correct (I quoted his response below). 255/85R16 tires will work, and they will not give any issues when properly inflated. If you air down you might be more prone to dropping a bead (you're always prone to dropping a bead when airing down, but a narrower wheel on a wider tire makes you more prone).

    If Hawaiian dudes can wheel with tires stretched twice as wide as recommended you'll be just fine :thumbsup:

    Matte bronze should be back in stock soon, but they are pre-selling fast.

    Due to popular demand, we are considering asking Konig to do another production run of anodized bronze. If anyone is interested in anodized bronze, please let me know!

    Bronze is awesome bro,

    Just don't be "stupid" and get yourself picked out by the local LEOs, because your truck is going to be very hard to miss,

    I love the look....

    I'm so glad to hear that! That's great! :)

    I agree. Looks awesome. I don't think the police profile trucks with brightly colored wheels as much as they would cars, but that might be just my area. I've never personally had any problem, and I was driving around with bright green Countersteer Offroads for a while. :)

    The wheels in that photo are anodized bronze. We will have a small batch of anodized bronze coming in from Konig in about 90 days. I am starting to take pre-orders now. :)

    I THINK but I'm not 100% sure, I may like the matte bronze better. but then again I like it too. The 1st gen. black tacoma that is posted on the site has these wheels are what anodized or matte?

    Finally decided on a set of these in gunmetal and picked 'em up on Friday. Had them mounted and it totally changed the look on my '13 DCSB.

    I wanted to praise Dustin and his supreme and ultra professional customer service through the phone and PM. I cannot stress this enough - he truly goes out of the way to make time and adjustments with his plans to make sure his customer are satisfied. Truly a class act.

    Dustin - thank you SO much for your customer service commitment. As we spoke earlier, we will do business again (soon). :)

    The First Gen black Tacoma on the FNWheels.com website has anodized bronze Countersteer Offroads. Are those the ones that you like?

    Very nice meeting you (again) Diarmid! Thank you very much for your kind words. It was a pleasure doing business with you. :)
