    Personally I don't think Gunmetal would look good with the Pyrite. The bronze versions would look nice but they're hard to come by.

    I'd go with black if you're trying to choose between the two.

    Anyone have any fitment issues with the SR8 17” rim and a 315/70/17 tire. I’ve trimmed 2.5” of out my fenders and flares, beat the pinch weld and have a small cmc that clears 33s fine. I’m fine cutting the cab mount some more, but wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something else.

    What do you guys recommend to treat the wheels with to bring back that original luster?

    I always wash the heck out of mine with Meguiar's Gold Class + hit them with a fast wax, but after 3 years the gunmetal finish is a bit flatter on them than they used to be. 1 of my 4 wheels is around a year and a half newer than the other 3 and you can tell it's newer. Any good aluminum wheel cleaning products out there worth trying?

    This channel on YouTube has A LOT of great info on paint correction/restoration/maintenance. Hand waxing can only do so much at a certain point.

    General News

    In the last few years, other wheel companies have been trying to follow suit to replicate what we've been able to carve out for ourselves in the off-road/truck segment. We're always trying to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to wheel designs and the overall fit and finish of our products. Being able to maintain that high level of quality and meeting the high expectations of our customers is an on-going challenge that we pride ourselves on.

    SCS has decided to step our wheel game up, dig into our pockets, and invest into new technology. We are super excited to announce that we are transitioning the complete line to be produced using "FLOW FORMING" technology. This is the most advanced method of production short of offering full-forged wheels. The flow forming process of the barrel offers similar attributions to that of a forging process. After casting, the wheel is placed on a machine where hydraulic rollers and heat are used to put a large amount of pressure on the inner barrel. As the wheel spins, the pressure of the roller stretches the alloy to form the remaining width of the wheel. This process changes the mechanical properties and grain structure of the cast rim area to have better strength and stiffness. All of this will result in a wheel that is generally lighter and stronger at any given load rating when compared to gravity casting, high and low pressure, as well as tilt casting.

    Flow forming wheels have been around for years, but they were mainly offered for sport cars and sport sedans. They do come at a premium due to the benefits and quality of the finished product. This means there will be a price bump in 2019, but for the rest of 2018, pricing will remain the same as we transition. Final pricing has not been decided yet.

    We want to be the first truck wheel company to have a complete line of flow forming wheels. We encourage you guys to do your own research on this technology. It's really cool stuff!

    The sr8's push the wheel out about 2 inches more than stock 3rd gen +25mm offset correct? Does anybody have pics of the tires from the front so i can see how they sit in comparison to the fender flare? I have a 2018 trd offroad mgm. Trying to decide between matte black and gunmetal sr8. Staying 16 inch. Thanks

    Im thinking of running either 275 or 285 tires on 16 inch sr8's. With a 2 inch lift, will this be an issue on a 2018 Tacoma?
