Bronze TRD Beadlocks

PTR18-35090 is Black
PTR18-35090BR is Bronze
PTR18-35090GR is Grey

I'll have to go back through my notes, but I have the part numbers for the center caps and trim ring somewhere. There is typically VIN restrictions on the grey wheels although people have gotten around it sometimes. The black ones have also had restrictions but the dealers are somewhat less lenient about that. I purchased (4) from one source and a 5th from a different source. Neither place sells them anymore unfortunately. This was back in 2012. When the grey wheels first came out, even a $100 bribe to a parts counter guy wouldn't net me a set of grey ones.

I had the tires installed without the rings installed. I had them install the rings before the wheels were balanced.

 

I like yours a lot but you have gray not bronze on a Blue Ribbon Metallic truck

 

Buy online for cheaper, and you don't have to put up with VIN restrictions. Sites like: http://trdparts4u.toyotaofdallas.com

 

Well I will have my wheel and tire guy know the proper way prior to mounting. Tire, ring, balance

 

I purchased (4) of my (5) from TRDParts4U back in December 2012. At the time, I got the last two black wheels they had in stock and they had to order (2) more from the Toyota warehouse and at the time weren't sure if they could even get them because of the restrictions Toyota was putting on the wheels at the time. When I purchased mine they were fairly confident they wouldn't be getting any more, so it's interesting they list them again. I remember that Earnhardt Toyota somewhere down south was making replica versions of the black ones starting with the Bronze wheels and powdercoating them.

When I ordered them, they contacted me since I had written in the comments section of the website if they were having issues to please contact me. At that point I tried to get the Grey wheels and was unable to. It seems like dealers now have an easier time getting them, but back in 2012 it was impossible. It took me a solid month of searching and calling dealers to even get the part number for the grey ones.

 

This morning.

Got them done at discount tire.

FYI they balanced and rotated them WITHOUT the rings on them.

Drove the truck down the freeway and didn't feel any issues.

 

Toyota did my buddies without taking the rings off, I mentioned this to my local shop when they did mine and they said the mounting arm can be moved to allow for that or something. Either way they didn't take them off

 

My bronze trd beadlocks should be arriving in a couple days. I'm going to keep the stock rugged fails for the time being, until I get a lift and decide what size tires I want ultimately.

What price should I expect to pay for switching out the tires to the new wheels, with mounting and balancing?

I'm going to check at the dealer, my local trusty mechanic, and discount tire.

Thanks.

 

Get a quote and see. Toyota pulled my TPS sensors off my old wheels for free and only charged me mounting and balancing on the new set. No charge for the sensor swap. Granted I was also paying for a supercharger install at the same time. Mount and balance is usually around $20/tire.

 

I had mine switched over at discount.

They were trying to sell me a TPMS rebuild kit, I turned it down and they made it work

 

Ramon, your truck looks great. I was wanting a set of the gray wheels for my 2015 silver sky metallic Tacoma. Also considering a set of SR8's in matte gunmetal with the black beadlock. If I got the TRD wheels I was going to paint or dip the beadlocks black

 

hey bud! thanks!

I am glad the way it looks on my silver sky metallic

 

For those that bought these wheels, did you guys have to buy any specific lugs? I was under the impression that the stock lugs were too large.

If so, got any part numbers?

 

you can buy the TRD spline lugs for like $120

or buy the lugs that @SCSPerformance offers.. for WAYYYYY cheaper..

 

Don't happen to remember what size required?

 

no. i just told @SCSPerformance that they were for trd beadlocks and they sent it to me

 

2 tires have arrived, just waiting on the others

 

Man, you're really milking this out. I'm going to need new tires by the time you get these mounted. The suspense is killing me. Lol.

 

those are some nice coopies

 

Okay I'll stop posting pics until next summer
