Black FJ Trail Team wheels (yet another thread!)

Lots of these threads about the FJ wheels have been popping up lately but I felt like sharing mine. They've been on the taco for a couple weeks now. I'm just really bad about taking pics quickly. Take a look!

 

nice. are they the real deal or the replicas?

 

Looks sweet....I have the Anthracite ones.

 

Replicas. Real or not though, I love they way they look!

 

yesssur, no doubt

 

The "real deals" are just stock TRD FJ wheels that are silver, with a black finish applied by the wheel mfg. Here is the proof. As you see in the picture, the P/N for the silver wheel is stamped into the wheel, then after the black is applied a new P/N is added.

 

Look great! How much you pay? Where'd you get them? Am thinking of silver ones, so I can perhaps paint them black later...

 

I just picked up a set of them new from the Toyota dealer (Silver) for $620.
Figured if I want them black, I will powder coat or paint them.

 

I got my anthracite ones from the dealer. No questions asked.

 

Just got mine and LOVE them. Sickest wheels out there.

 

looks great

 

If you mean the mfr applied black coat over the existing silver coat, then you are mistaken. The original P/N is engraved in the casting mold, so it's already on the wheel before any coatings are applied.

 

Yes, I realize that.......however, the P/N you see that is part of the wheel casting is the P/N for a SILVER wheel. The other P/N is applied over the black finish and is not engraved, it is a decal.

 

My point is that the SILVER wheel and the BLACK wheel is the exact same identicle wheel with exception of color

 

Thanks! Got em at Earnhardt Toyota Parts' website for 250 a pop. I probably could have gotten em cheaper, but I had "truck funds" and I wanted em bad lol. Shipping wasn't fun. I probably COULD have gone to the dealers around here but my patience for them is too thin.

 

You cant get them from Toyota without a FJ team trail VIN. I tried at several different dealers.

 

how did you get the black center caps if you PCed the silver rims?

 

You can buy the black center caps online for about $10. The caps are not VIN-controlled it seems. Google

$25 PTR20-35081 TRD Center Cap

PTR20-35081.

 

Can you use the stock 17" sport wheel lugs and lock nuts on these wheels? I have a set of silver trd wheels that i'm going to get painted black but they didn't come with lug nuts...not sure if i'll have to buy new ones.

Thanks
