TRD beadlock wheels are still in production, new part number

If you look past the missing paint, here's some black rims on an MGM Tundra....

 

Oh man, that looks painful. I'm tempted to go with the grey versions, because it's not something you see everyday.

 

I am really getting tired of all the black, grey, blah... They all look alike.

 

Grey is the correct choice.

 

Same; I prefer the blues and purples, but haven't settled on a 17" wheel or custom color to go that route. I did order stealth indigo ray 10's a while ago, but decided to send them back given the -38 offset and the poor finish quality. Kicking myself at times on that.

The biggest issue with running these would be the need for spacers with the 285/75/16 tires and fox 2.5 lift I have sitting in boxes. I'm going to end up buying 5 different sets of wheels until I make up my mind. I just know it.

Not a 3G, but I had the black ones on my 2G.

When I bought them you simply couldn't buy a gunmetal set from Toyota. I tried bribing parts counter guys, it was insane. I wanted gunmetal then, I have gunmetal now?

 

I just do whatever @MikeyMcFly says to do when it comes to shoes.

 

Regarding wheel spacers with the TRD beadlocks and 285/75/16 I don't think I'd need them. Granted this was on 2nd gens...

If anyone has a new set, does it say where they are made?

 

First boxes said USA, recent boxes say MEX.

 

What does it say on the back of the wheel? Just curious because the original ones were made in England

Does anyone know who manufactured the old TRD beadlocks for Toyota? The original ones that would have come with 2nd gen trucks or FJs. Took a quick skim through this thread and it sounds like the new ones are a different manuf.

All of mine have this logo cast into them but I cant for the life of me figure it out

 

It has been brought up here many times in TW. The UK company that made the TRD Beadlocks was bought by another UK wheel maker and that is why the Beadlocks were no longer made.

The new TACO alloy is of a different casting/mold made out of North America; USA & MEX

 

Yup I read into that as well. But no one has ever said WHO that original UK company was.

 

Correct as it is only speculation of the now defunct company.

 

Has anyone installed the beadlock ring before taking them to get tires put on? If so, do you mind sharing the experience? I want them loc tited and torqued to spec beforehand, but I don't want them trashed either. Been outing it off soley on this decision

 

Been discussed before.
The two local independent tire shops I use did not request nor remove the rings for tire removals or installations. Your results may differ.
