ebay find -- FJ Cruiser Gun Metal Wheels

Awesome, no alignment issues and from everything I have seen I shouldn't have any issues with rubbing. Thanks or the advice!

 

Just another thought to put your mind at ease- lots of folks have a set of wheels and tires set up just for winter, they do not align their truck every time they change the wheel combo for the season...

 

I went from steelies to TRD stock with no alignment issues, 8k later I changed to these and it was wayyyy off. Even though it may not be the cause you may want to get it alighted anyway. It could save you a bit of change from early tire replacement. I opted to pay $120 for the Firestone lifetime alignment deal.

 

I tried to order and was told they are on Back order now? HMMMM I will buy them when he gets them in. They look cool.

 

Got mine in today... these wheels are so sexy!!!! They look so good I almost don't want to powder coat them black (my wife wants me to keep them Anthracite). Needless to say I have already taken off the center caps off and boxed them back up to send to the powder coater tomorrow afternoon.






Current Anthracite center caps on the right, Trail teams matte black on left (color for the wheels to be powder coated)

 

I finally found the new-style frameless wipers for the FJ Cruiser without being taken to the cleaners by the dealer. Most aftermarket brands don't make a 14" that fits the center and right positions. The 'Trico NeoForm Beam Blade' is the ONLY one that comes in the 14" as well as 16" for the driver side. Came with removal and replacement instructions - easy install. They work great. Got them online.

Hope this helps others...

 

Dont these come in black?

 

If you where planning powdercoat why not just buy the much cheaper silver ones??

 

Yeah, I would buy and paint the silver ones too. The anthracite is too nice to paint over!!

 

Yes they do... For crash replacement only (Toyota has to verify you have a trail teams edition FJ cruiser). Or pay well over a $1000 to get a set someone has taken off, granted that you would be able to even find a set.

I tried to get some silver ones from a dealer and waited well over a month and the date kept backing up. I called the dealer and they told me that the FJ wheels were on national back order with no projected date of availability.

As far as cost, these anthracite colored ones I bought actually saved me money. Frank Toyota (the reason this thread exists) was selling the anthracite for $525, $600 to my door within a week. Just glad I was able to get my hands on a set.

 

BUMP
I talked with the guy the other day and he just got 16 sets in. I was going to get some but I just can't bring myself to do it. But, it's a great deal none the less for someone....

Mine in black.



Frank Motors was great to order from via eBay!

 

That is what I did.

 

Wonder if they can still get them in Gun metal color.

 

yes call Scott or look for his ebay listings. Its Frank Toyota in National City, CA 888 218 1036. If you buy off ebay you can get cashback 8% if you use BIN, its a $42 savings plus whatever shipping is & no tax outside of cali. Great guy to work with.

 

How does the 8% cashback work from eBay?

 

I got some SE Anthracite ones on order from Tracy Toyota for 552 shipped.

 

I want a set of these in the worst way! Problem is, the wife doesn't want me to put on a lift kit and if I got these rims, I'd end up installing a lift...

 

Mine are on without a lift. Although that's only temporary

 

I just ordered these. $600 to Port Huron, then I will cross the border to pick them up.
