    Agree on the Sport wheels, hate milled accents. FSW '21 4TR Pros were my answer.

    I just picked up these same wheels in 16x8. FSW did a nice job on these!

    Looks good!
    Would be sweet if the TRD center caps fit, rather than adhesives.

    Where did you get yours? Available in black? I know there was some skuttlebutt about a certain vendor here for a while...

    I'm on the fence about getting the drivers side grab handle or some stepside running boards. I'm a short guy, so I drag my ass over the outer bolster of the bucket seat getting in and out.

    Still debating whether to simply move the OEM tires to the FSWs or go ahead and get KO2s put on them.

    Toss the KO2s on! You're going to do it eventually.

    The guy I bought my AT3s from gave me $300-ish credit for the ones that were on my sport.

    Do you need to get new tpms sensors when getting new wheels? I have the bronze trail edition wheels on order and I don't know if I'll be needing new sensors or if the ones off my factory TRD off road can transfer over.

    You have to transfer the sensors from your original stock aluminum wheels.

    Fixed the wheel situation.
    AMWts8D5k3tS5DKvMZe4cmNYdwes8v3BfQ3LeOPR_fac1bd6c05fc6373d3a902197f428070bd3d3bb5.jpg

    The FSW F266 17"x8.5" +0 wheels definitely improved the stance.

    Stuck with the AO3s for now. I'll get something good after I burn them off or realize they are terrible in the snow.

    --------------------------------

    Content from the OP on the wheels:
    The TRD Sport wheels make me nauseous and will be sold, so here is a different one:

    FSW F266 17"x8.5" +0 in matte black, PN F266178577+0
    TRD Pro center cap, PN PT280-34190-02
    OEM Black lug nuts, PN
    $23 PT076-60200-02 Toyota Genuine 4Runner FJ Cruiser Tacoma Black PVD Wheel Lug Nuts (6 Pack) PT076-60200-02
    PT076-60200-02

    TPMS Sensors, PN 4207-02050, are on the way. I should be able to upload their IDs to the PCM with my Autel TS601.

    The wheels came with color-matched center caps and adhesive disks with the TRD logo. Each disk came with a retaining ring. Here is one of the disks sitting on the FSW center cap.

    I kind of like the color-matched look with no TRD adhesive disk.

    Great service from FSW, and the wheels arrived quickly.

    Now for tires.
