    deals... it's not much at all. PM him and he'll give you an exact price. I ordered them for my black first gen (matte bronze) and ended up selling the truck and moving the rims to a super white second gen. I don't think I've seen anyone else with matte bronze countersteers on the island, but a few of the local guys have black and anthracite. do it! :D:D:D

    Hi TacomaWorld,

    I have to apologize for my late replies here on the forums for the last few months. We recently moved the shop/warehouse to a new, larger location (still here in Southern California, but about 20 miles from our old location). We've also been receiving higher and higher volumes of calls, e-mails, forum messages, and orders (thank you all for that!), and as a result, we've been much slower than we'd like in replying to forum messages. Our e-mail response times are still very fast, phone response times are instant or nearly instant, and of course we ship all orders within 24 hours. If you ever need a more immediate reply, please do not hesitate to call us anytime:

    1-855-WHEEL-00 (943-3500) - Toll Free in the U.S. and Canada
    1-951-735-1100 - Office (Local/International)
    1-714-390-9387 - Cell (Call or text anytime)

    or e-mail: FNWheels@gmail.com. You can also stop by, but we recommend calling before stopping by:

    930 N. Elm Street #12
    Orange, CA 92867.


    I sure do @J2times702 . Here you go:





    Hi @scocar - The graphite gunmetal color is a little darker than anthracite gunmetal, but I think I'd actually like anthracite gunmetal on Sky Silver if I was picking the color for myself. The color differences between anthracite gunmetal and graphite gunmetal for the 16" Countersteer Offroad are pretty subtle until you get the wheels in the right lighting. Here are some comparison photos:









    Thank you again! Your truck looks great! I love the color combo, and I am glad to hear that you are still enjoying your new wheels. :)

    Lookin' good Ruben! Love the tire choice! I need to call you soon. Time to reorder stickers from @easystickerco . :)

    Hi @AR15xAR10 - The Countersteer Offroad is not available in 17x8", but we have a very similar wheel available called the 17x8" Konig Six Shooter. We also offer a 17x8" Konig Countersteer Type X that is fairly similar.

    http://www.fnwheels.com/new-products/konig-six-shooter/

    http://www.fnwheels.com/new-products/konig-countersteer-type-x/


    @TacomaPrime - Super clean truck, and an excellent choice on color combo. Love the license plate too! Thanks again!

    Thanks @ERMB. I definitely agree. Just one minor correction: the solo shot wheel you showed under "anodized bronze" is actually the matte bronze 17" Konig Countersteer Type X.

    The black first gen (with red lug nuts) does have anodized bronze 16x8" Countersteer Offroads.

    One more thing to note - we did discontinue the anodized bronze finish a couple of years ago.

    @Reapacheap - glad you found what you're looking for! If you need more photos please let me know. I do have more on my hard drive that I can upload or e-mail to you.

    Hi @Djboi808 - Shipping to Hawaii is not too expensive at all. We ship wheels out to Hawaii almost every day. I will send you a PM with a quote.

    Thanks @cubiclesurfer ! We haven't shipped to many 16x8" matte bronze Countersteer Offroads to Hawaii actually. You're one of the only ones. Graphite gunmetal seems to be much popular, although we have shipped quite a few 18" BFDs in matte bronze to the islands.

    Color is the hardest part. Matte bronze speaks to me the most.

    Can't believe i've taken this long to begin with

    Hi @AR15xAR10 - Are there any colors in particular you'd like me to take side by side?

    Thanks @ERMB ! Will do soon! Still have some unpacking to do and tire machine / wheel balancer to setup. We've just been so busy lately! :)

    Damn, Dustin, those top studio pics of the anthracites almost look like a color match for Silver Sky.

    Is there any chance at all you can get a picture of them next to a sliver sky truck? Or even mounted on a silver sky truck? Trying to decide on black or anthracite now.

    Of the six shooters and countersteers Dustin?

    Matte bronze and Anthracite Gunmetal if you would please. No rush.

    Thank you.

    I had this very same experience but it was when mine were being mounted the first time. Badly damaged all four wheels. They some how even collapsed one of the lug holes slightly. Thanks to Dustin, it got all sorted out and the rims were replaced. Hands down the best customer service I have experienced in any industry.

    I will see what I can do. I don't have a Sky Silver truck myself, and I can't remember any of my local customers who have come by in a Sky Silver truck recently, but I'll try.

    The anthracite gunmetal finish for the Countersteer Offroad is a little bit darker than Sky Silver, but the tone/color of the wheel is very similar. In my opinion if you have wheels that aren't exactly color matched, but are fairly close in color, it would be better to have them darker rather than lighter.

    Tough decision between black and anthracite on a Sky Silver truck, but I personally think I'd go with anthracite (just because I really like gunmetal, not because I think one would look better than the other). If you have a lot of black trim or accessories (sliders, bumpers, etc.) then the black might be a better choice.

    I will get working on those comparison photos for you. :thumbsup:

    Thank you very much @C1ph3r ! I'm sorry you had the trouble with your local installer but glad we were able to help get it remedied.

    Sweet photo! Thanks for sharing! :)

    Thanks.
    Yes, I agree a bit darker would be better than a bit lighter.
    My truck is an SR5, and stock so far, but the SR5 does have black mirrors and door handles, and I will likely end up with sliders and possibly rear plate bumper, too, so that is why I am leaning to black wheels unless I can see a rock-solid example of how anthracite looks with Silver Sky.

    I know I don't have a silver sky color truck but one of the reasons I picked the Anthracite Gunmetal was to pick up on all the black trim without going with black wheels which always seem to disappear.

    Edit: mine are actually the graphite gunmetal not anthracite:anonymous::oops:
