    i am wanting these wheels called konig countersteer. I have a 5 lugger and its black. i am going to put a readylift kit and new rims and tires. it should sit about prerunner height with the lift kit. I need your guy's opinion. The konigs come in off road and r,for road?. The off roads are like 690 shipped and the rs are like 350 shipped. they look exactly the same. to me at least. Stupid hurts has the countersteer rs and they look nice on his truck. i have a reg cab black taco so they should look about the same as his sit. Menace Customs on custom tacos has a prerunner with the off roads and its black. his looks awesome. what do you guys think? should i go for it? look at pics for comparison Menace customs is the black one and stupid hurts is the red one

    IMO go w/ the countersteer rs. Save some money and use it for other MODS. Looking forward to see how your 5 lug will look. Have you ordered your Ready Lift Kit?

    i am in the process of doing that. i saw the readylift for like 230, but i couldnt find it again. i think it was at 4wheelonline.com. but idk. all i have done so far is the LA dodgers steering wheel cover mod haha. I think the countersteer rs are the only ones that fit our 5 luggers. the off roads only come in 6 lug. glad i found this out. i talked to stupid hurts and he said i need 5mm spacers so thats like what 20 bucks for 4? anyways. i thought these were the best looking wheels for the money.

    Here is a link for a cheap price for the Readylift 5-lug. I bought mine locally for $280. I wish I ordered from here.

    I think its a fixed price. I have seen it at that price since the beginning of the summer. I lost the link and just made my purchase locally. But now I recovered it so I am a spreading the great price on the Readylift kit for us 5 luggers.

    Yeah, Shaun gave me a good price on them. I believe the lug nuts that Shaun gave me are gorilla lug nuts. I don't know how much they cost.

    yea. but to me the suspension is more costly because i have to have it installed by someone and that means it like doubles the cost

    I would buy everything and have have all installed at on time. They can also take care of the alignment for you too.

    You don't of anyone in your area that can help you install the lift kit? It would save you some money. I was quoted about $250 to have the kit installed on my Tacoma. So I called one of my friends and we installed the kit. The online video and included instructions is what guide us to a successful install.

    You wouldn't be able to run the Countersteer Offroads because they only come in the 6-lug pattern which is why I went with Countersteer Rs since they only come in a 5-lug pattern.

    No complaints really. Love them so far. The only thing that bothers me is that I have to run spacers in the front to clear the calipers, but that's not too big of a deal.

    i am looking for tires that fit them... and the size is kinda a factor because they seem way more expensive then 31x10.5R15 tires. i think i might get the countersteers or maybe some steel american racing 767 wheels. they are 45.99 a wheel and 12 dollars shipping on each wheel. if you can find some goodyear duratracs or some BFG at ko's or general grabber at2s in the fitment for the konigs. i cant find any decent prices on tire rack or discount tire

    Tires in general are pricey. My suggestion is you shop around and get quotes. Go to different places and ask them if they'll beat it.
