"Street" Wheel Recommendations?

They do come in 17" although mine are 16". Discount Tire Level 8 MK6. The TRD center caps fit perfectly if you like those.

 

27...ehh...that's about what OEM sports probably weigh. I have a 42 mile highway commute. I'd really like to gain MPG if I'm gonna spend the money on new wheels.

I doubt you'll gain mpg either way. Lighter weight will feel better driving, but in my experience little to no effect on economy. I prefer it for the feel in acceleration.

 

this is true. and if you split hairs over a few pounds here & there for mileage, you're kidding yourself. the ROI on light wheels is fun/performance. and worth it in my world.

 

So MPG gain is negligible. I know exactly what you mean by a lighter feel with lighter wheels. So, I'm down to the FN 6 Shooter, ScS Stealth and F5.

 

FN also has the Five star, similar to the F5 and the FX Pro, similar to the SEMA TRD Pro wheels. The former weighs 19-20lbs and the latter 24lbs. Ive had 2 sets of SCS and 2 sets of FNs, cant go wrong with either. If you want FNs though you need to call Dustin, he doesnt seem to respond to much else. He might have some blemished wheels as well, which could save you money.

 

Great bang for the buck.

The "8" comes right off with lacquer thinner and a rag.



Mine are 17"x8", Offset of 0, gunmetal gray. I got a package deal from Town Fair Tire with a pretty close price match from discount tire including Wildpeak AT3 265-10-17s, mounted, balanced, TPMS swapped, etc for $1300ish

 

The MK6 is a solid choice and the front lip of the 17x8 ET0 will be flush with the fender. If you want a little bit of poke, the -10mm version will sit about 1/2" outside of the fender.

Another simple, yet clean style to consider is the Method MR701.

You can buy TRD decals on ebay to either cover the "8" or to put on the center caps after you remove it. They come in many color combinations to match your wheels/truck. I did that before I bought the TRD caps.

lookin super nice.

 

Thanks for the input. 30 lbs...no sir

 

Looks great! Thank you sir!

 

No prob. However, one caveat, the picture I posted is with a small lift. Before the lift, the wheel tire package rubbed on the OEM mudflap (I went from the 265-65-17 stockers to the 265-70-17 Wildpeaks). So I removed it and put on RokBlokz mud flaps. No more rub. Then I lifted it later in the week.

 

No mud flaps on my truck, so should be a non-issue. I'm looking to get a definitive weight on the MK6. The entire weight column on their website is blank??

 

DTD...do you have a definitive weight on the 17x8 MK6 ET0?

 

So far I like all of the suggested wheels. You could also go with the 4 Runner TRD Pro wheels.

 

Those are the inspiration for the FN Pro wheels. Great looking wheel but a bit too factory looking for me.
