    11/26/2012:

    Matte black is officially sold out in sets of four.
    I have one wheel in stock right now. Konig's next shipment is expected mid-December (about 2-3 weeks from now).

    I do have a couple sets of graphite gunmetal available right now.

    I love these wheels so much that this will be my third set that I order. Do you have a wheel for the guys running a 6 inch lift? Lemme know. Thanks

    Couple quick questions for you about these wheels-

    Since they are not hub centric, do I need to run a hub centering adapter to use them?

    Would they fit 265/75R16 on a 2013 SR5 stock? (I'm thinking the wheels' width would be a problem?) (I wanna do a lift and 285's but, looking like the wife won't go for that plan)

    Would it be possible to get a set of 5 in the gunmetal?

    Thanks!!!!

    When I put them on with 265/75r16 my tires rubbed on the front little mudflap, I took it off and they didn't rub. That was back when I had the 5100 at .85 with stock coils, so i was pretty close to stock height. The 0 offset is the culprit for the rub. You should be fine if you take the little front flap off.

    I thought they were hub centric? If they are not then yes you do need to install a ring.

    Awesome! Thank you! If you have a 6" lift, I think you might like FN Wheels' new wheel (the owners of FN designed the Countersteer Offroad with Konig a few years back):

    [​IMG]

    This new wheel will be a 16x8" with a -25mm offset, so it will have a much more aggressive stance do go with your 6" lift. I'll PM you as well.

    ElTacoCaliente - Good questions! Thank you.

    -The wheels include both hub centric rings and push-thru center caps. The caps have an internal diameter of 106mm, so the caps will center the wheels on the hubs, or if you prefer not to use the caps you can use the rings we provide.

    -As SconnieHailer mentioned, the wheels will fit your stock 2013 Tacoma SR5 Pre-Runner with 265/75R16 tires. You'll have a slight rub on the front mud flaps, and you can either trim the mud flaps to accommodate the taller tires and wider wheels, or you can just remove the mudflaps altogether (I'd remove them myself). Other than that they fit perfectly, and there have been quite a few Tacoma owners with this exact setup over the years who love it.

    -I can definitely put together a set of five (5) wheels in graphite gunmetal for you, no problem. :)

    Looks good, are they just dirty? Because they look matte bronze.

    The pictures do little justice. They are clean.

    Darn right. I've had a set of 16x8" Countersteer Offroads on my Tundra and a set on my Tacoma for nearly 5 years. I've towed 3,500lbs trailors, taken them offroad, and never had a problem. Prior to that I did have Volk TE37s, and I never had a problem with those either.

    Taiwan makes excellent products. Much, much better than China.

    Here at Tacoma World there is a growing following for the "tall and skinny" tires best described as the BF Goodrich KM2 in the size 255/85R16 (and a couple other tires in this size). We are having difficulty finding suitable wheels for this size tire as most aftermarket wheels are 8" wide or more and this is just too wide for this tire.

    One reader suggested that Konig might do a special run of wheels in 16x7 if there was enough gauranteed sales. Can you verify this? And if so how many wheels would be required to have Konig build them? 10 sets (40 wheels) or 25 sets (100 wheels?). Just putting out a feeler because the market is very slim for 16x7 wheels outside of a couple steel items.

    8" is not too wide for that tire.
