Stealth Custom Series F5 * Photo thread *

Looks good!!
Dirty means only 2 things, you're having fun or your lazy.
IF they're dirty enough you're having fun.

 

Bronze looks flat grey with this dirt

 

SOOOO waiting for them to have more of these!!

 

ME 2, Only need 2.... I'll take em, blemished and rashed if I have to.

 

I wish they would take pre orders, TAKE MY MONEY! Haha, I actually rejoined IG just to stalk them

 

Good luck. They typically sell out in about 30 seconds. Their cart doesn't allocate you a set when you hit check out, which means someone who is faster than you with credit card entry can take the set you put in your cart from you. It would be nice if they at least gave you a small window to pay for your cart upon adding them, kind of like concert tickets.

 

Just. Take. My. Money.
Does business get better than that?
No.
I will pay, and wait.

 

What’s the next best option?

 

There’s always the Blems Vin has for sale.

Yeah,but buying one or two wheels at time….I need 4.
I want Sc wheels, I’ll have to wait for them and that’s ok.

 

I got lucky and was able to grab a set of 4 Blems.
Then my transmission went out the next day. DOH!
So after my truck gets out of the shop. I’ll be mounting these bad boys up. Can’t wait!
16x8 3.5” BS -25mm offset
I’m only going to be riding on
265/75/16 tires but that’s fine.
Pretty sure fitment won’t be an issue. Already have done the pinch weld.
I have ext. travel Kings & Camburg UCA’s. With J59’s & Icon smooth bodies in the back. It’s killing me just looking at the rims! Lol!

 

What you are experiencing has unapologetically become a part of the business practice. Whether or not the scarcity is planned, they've taken a near ubiquitous product and made it seem exclusive. It is not unlike the Rota wheel craze of the early 2000's Subaru crowd.

Having said that, I have had 3 sets of F5s now. I have also never given them my money directly (though I have tried). I have to say, I love the F5. They are light, easy to clean, and are economical enough to where I won't be too hurt when I scrape them up on the trail.

Best strategy is to not get crazy, a set will pop up eventually. Also, look at their dealers, you never know who may have a set of wheels hanging around.....

 

Anyone running 255/80/17 (skinnies) on the 17x8.5 -10 F5 wheel? I know the width pushes the tire size's limit, but it can be done. Curious about the fit and function on a second gen.

 

Finally got these bad boys. Hoping to mount within the next couple weeks.

 

Beautiful

 

Bro posin’ on the way to the mall to show off my sweet wheels!

 

Anyone have a side profile pic of 16x8 -25 offset? On a 3rd gen preferably. I can’t seem to find a legitimate side picture to show the poke.

 

Can’t help but notice you have your Xmas tree up before Halloween??

 

Yeah got a little too excited this year. Holidays always gets me to be more jolly
