    Thanks Chris! I know you're going to like your wheels. Bronze on white is one of my favorite color combinations. The wheels should be arriving by next week too, so there shouldn't be much more waiting.

    Thank you for your kind words Richard! I'm glad you like it! The color flows very well with your truck!

    I believe the stock tires look a little smaller because the Countersteers are wider than the stock wheels, and the stock tires are more of a highway pattern / conservative design. Plus the spoke design of the Countersteer Type X makes the wheel look a little longer compared to the stock wheels. Once you put some All-Terrain tires on there the whole package will really come together, even if you still stick with the stock tire size of 265/65R17.

    P.S. Your paint looks really clean! The reflection of the trees on your truck looks really cool.

    It's been awhile since I've been on here.

    First off, thanks Dustin, the wheels look amazing and showed up super quick!

    I had intended to post pics as soon as I got them installed, but there seemed to be some delays with my lift kit shipping out, so I waited since they likely won't fit with the size tires I put on them.

    Here are two shots now that I got the tires put on them, however the wheels and tires are just propped up next to the truck so I can dream about what it will look like.2012-08-15_18-07-31_990.jpg

    I decided to go with BFG KM2's at 285/70 17

    Thank you too! That's going to look great! Good choice on the tires too - definitely one of my favorites!

    Which lift did you order too? I can't wait to see updated photos once you have everything installed. :thumbsup:

    I ordered an All Pro long travel kit. I talked to them today, it sounds like it should be shipping out next week. Should be sweet once its all done![​IMG]

    You're welcome, and thank you Chris! Please post up some photos for all of us to see. We don't seem to have enough photos of the bronze wheels after they've been installed. :)

    Looks like I'll be keeping my wheels. What size are those tires any rubbing? It looks awsome.

    Thank you Chris! That looks really, really good. Very good choice on the color combination (I know we were going back and forth between matte black or matte bronze for your truck). You definitely picked a good combination. I'm looking forward to seeing some more photos from you. :thumbsup:

    I don't blame you for wanting to keep yours after seeing Wooster's photos. Now you can install your Countersteer Type X wheels and show us some photos of your truck too! :D

    Center caps and hub centric rings are included with every set of four wheels, and I offer lug nuts for a slight additional cost.

    The 17x8" Countersteer Type X can definitely be made in 5x114.3 for the 5-lug Tacomas. We just need to get 10 customers together to leave deposits for their orders to meet Konig's factory minimum.

    Would you be interested in leaving a deposit on a set? We can try to get something going for 5-lug Tacomas.

    Yup I'm interested, how much would it cost alltogether shipped to 96817?
    Got any pics of the bronze on a white Tacoma? Those rims will fit a 235/75/15 right?

    The Countersteer Type X is a 17" wheel, so it won't work with 15" tires. Are you interested in 17" wheels?
