V-Tec Offroad Wheels

Anyone have these? I searched and couldn't find anything. I think I will be ordering them tomorrow, but just wanted to see if anyone had installation issues, balancing issues, or any unforeseen problems with these wheels on your Tacoma? Thanks in advance.

 

Just make sure you get the correct offsets and backspacing.

 

After sending two other sets of wheels back, those are going on my truck tomorrow!!!!
They test fit them today and they look good
Too funny as I never heard of them until friday

 

What was wrong with the first two sets?

 

Thanks Dan. Ordering from Discount Tire, so I'll pay close attention to what they suggest. I know that 4.5 seems to be fairly common and had that on my last set, so I am hoping they have them in that backspace.

Nice! What size are you going with?

 

Yeah 4.5" is what most people are running with a -12mm offset. Thats what I am running on my truck.

 

Daytonas didnt fit, ultra wheels didnt fit either
Calipers both times
17's as well

 

Do you... wait for it!... hit VTEC when you run these wheels?

 

I have them and like them a lot I've had no problems with them.

 

Yeah, I agree. Don't like the name.... I heard too many problems with the Procomp 7089's and these look identical (except the name).

Looks good! What size and backspace -offset are you running?

 

Yeah, it's like they both went to the same Chinese mfr, but tried to differentiate their products by putting dimples in various places...

Pro Comp 7089:

 

There 17"x8" Im not sure about the backspacing. I got them at Discount Tire I just went in there and they hooked me up.

 

the V techs are not ridiculously expensive either.
I think they are decent looking wheels. The comparison to the pro comp is spot on. The price being a big difference though

 

here they are on my truck
265/70r17 Duratracs

 

What problems have you heard about with the 7089's?

 

I think they were mainly quality control issues...

Some people can get the center caps to fit, some can't.. some clear the brake caliper, some don't. Ordering seems to be an ordeal.. and a few other things I am forgetting at the moment.

Looks good! I would go with the slightly different design, but your setup looks awesome.

 

I have the vtec offroads (black and silver color scheme, not all black) and I've had no issues. I've had them for a year now and they still look brand new.
