Just Got These Today, Black FJ Trail Team Wheels, Aftermarket Clones

These are built to OEM specs, and will get them mounted tomorrow. $599.00 with shipping. 12 month warranty.

 

Love those wheels, they work well on tacomas.

 

I wanted to get those wheels as well. They would look good on my truck.

 

Pretty wheels.

 

I wanted those wheels till I saw the OEM ones are 28lbs. How much do those aftermarket ones weigh?

 

The Ebay listing says 21 lbs http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-Toyota-F...ack-/171656463731?vxp=mtr&hash=item27f785c573

 

If that is correct that is super light, even lighter than Toyotas lightest TRD wheel at 23lbs. Do you have a scale you can verify that weight?

 

Just weighed on digital bathroom scale 24.2 lbs

 

I expected that of china clones. Check if they all weigh the same

 

So the claim built to OEM specs is clearly wrong. Either the dimensions are off (aka thinner casting saving 4lbs) or they are using a different alloy, which would be my guess. They do look sharp. I'd also be curious if they all weigh the same, but you probably are already getting them installed.

 

yeah.... no, as good as they look a "clone rim" no thanks, id just buy the real thing, not worth the risk of something so vital to my truck.

 

X2!Mine are the real deal!

 

Agreed with these two posts. Lighter doesn't always mean better when it comes to wheels and usually lighter with the same durability means more expensive since more exotic materials are used. I've seen my share of issues with clones (can't balance, deformed from small pot holes or basic use, finish issues, etc) and in this case there's virtually no savings. Do some searching and you will find a thread or two where people talk about a Toyota dealership in AZ selling the OEM version of this wheel for $150ea for a total of $600 for a set of four with lugs too. Shipping was nominal and as I recall there was a special on shipping when I got mine so I think I paid ~$650 total but can't remember for sure. I could see if they were half the price or less that it might be worth a risk but on something like a 4x4 Tacoma that may see some offroad time or even if you don't it's just not worth it.

 

I have true Toyota TRD FJ wheels in silver for $550.00 with lugs new in box for sale if anyone interested.

 

I took a risk on ebay and ended up with a set of clones. So far no issues and I'm happy with them. If I have any issues I'll update the thread.

 

Make a sale thread with pics.

There is a section for things to be sold. And rules to follow.

 

they look sweet on a 2nd GEN in your albums page,wouldnt mind getting a set for my first GEN in the silver Alloy

 

Thanks Mush!I wanted these wheels immediatly when i bought my Tacoma brand new back in 2012!Unfortunetly i had to wait about a year and a ½ for them to be available through Toyota Of Dallas.Dealerships would not order them for you without a FJ vin or deny ordering them for you at all.Some BS!It all worked out though.They would look great on your 1st gen.!I think the design style of these wheels are a type that will never look outdated.Just my 2 cents!

 

black on black looks best

 

Any chance you can take a couple measurements of the center caps for me?
