    As I mentioned previously, I have a set of these in matte bronze. I prefer them WITH the center cap installed, but plenty of guys perfer them without the caps. Caps are a semi-gloss black so they match the color of a clean tire. These caps come with the wheels so if you dont like them you have a set of four matching cat food bowls! Dustin takes good care of you.

    Dustin, ship out my single wheel ASAP as I am back from vacation.

    Graphite gunmetal and matte bronze are back in-stock!

    All pre-orders have been shipped, and I've contacted everyone from the waiting list (if you didn't receive a message from me but you were expecting one, please contact me).

    I do have a couple of sets of graphite gunmetal available after fulfilling everyone's orders, and I currently have plenty of matte bronze (for the time being).

    That's awesome. There's no friend more faithful than your dog. My friend's daughter is handicapped, and they were just able to get her a service dog after holding some fundraisers. It's amazing what dogs can be trained to do, and also to see how faithful and helpful the dog is to her will almost bring tears to your eyes.

    Thanks Chaz! I love what you've done with your truck. Great photo too. Very "hi-def looking."

    :thumbsup: The great thing about owning is a Toyota is that you'll still have many more years to enjoy the truck.

    ;) Not a problem sir! Your wheels are on their way to you!

    My preference is 285/75R16 if you don't mind a little trimming. :)

    Great description Bill. I'm currently using the caps on my truck too.

    I'll try to post a photo of the matte bronze with a cap tomorrow for everyone to see as well.

    I hope you had a great vacation. I shipped your wheels last Friday (I had your vacation marked on my calendar ;) ). Looks like FedEx missed you today, but they'll redeliver tomorrow. :thumbsup:

    Hey Chaz, what do you mean? Has the color faded?

    No, I mean that photo was pretty heavily edited just for fun.

    Here is a photo I took today that isn't edited hardly at all. You can see the difference in color is pretty drastic.

    [​IMG]

    They actually look "matte" here instead of really bright like the other photo. Hope that helps. Quality product, you won't see fading. :thumbsup:

    Looks good! How do you like your 5100s. I haven't gotten around to installing mine yet, but will be doing the same setting plus a 1.5" AAL in the rear.

    Thanks brother! I love the 5100s so far, much better ride than stock. So smooth.

    Looking forward to seeing your truck with everything installed.

    I think Chaz enhanced that photo with "HD" effects. The wheels are bit more matte, and the color isn't quite as "bright." You'll notice his truck also looks much brighter in that photo. :)

    Thank you Kyle! It was a pleasure working on your truck. I'm sorry I talked you into getting your brand new Duratracs dirty the second we installed them. I should have your photos done later tonight. :)

    :thumbsup: Thank you my friend.

    I think you're going to really like it. Kyle (Okeetee) was really happy with his setup. We've yet to install 5100's and have someone not be satisfied. The ride is great and the lift is very consistent. I'll think you'll like the stance with the 1.5" add-a-leaf in the rear too.

    When I still had the 12 I set the front to 1.75" and added a 1/4" top plate spacer on each side for a total of 2.25" up front.
    Then left in my roughly 1/2" thick OL leaf when I installed the 1.5" Progressive 3 leaf AAL for a total of 2" out back.
    That combo was perfect IMO, for anyone looking for a mild lift.

    But now I run OME : D

    Hey Dustin,
    I'm wanting to get new wheels and tires soon for my 2011 Tacoma dcsb trd offroad. Plan to get goodyear duratracs 265 75/R16 C load.....just not sure yet on the wheels I'm going to get. I'd like to stick as close as possible to current factory wheel specs to help avoid any rubbing issues. I have rear leafspring TSB done and front has 5100 shocks set at 1.75" on factory coils. I'm interested in the 16X8 konig countersteer offroad matte black, how would they fit/compare to my current factory wheels w/ rugged trails 265 70/r16???.......would they stick out past fender flares? If so by how much??
    If I was to get these from you then what is price shipped to 37042? Wouldn't I need to get 5, for the spare. Do you offer military discount? Sorry for all the ?'s and thanks for any info!
    Dan

    I have the setup you are talking about minus the lift at the moment. 265/75 duratracs and countersteers... I have minimal rubbing on stock suspension and the tires do stick out just a bit more. Looks great in my opinion and haven't had any problems yet with the tires throwing anything up on the truck besides a little mud. I'll be adding the 5100s at 1.75 and a rear 1.5 AAL as soon as I can find the time. Everything is sitting in my house ready to go!

    Here is my taco with the 265/75 Duratrac and if you compare them to the stock rugged trails in my photo gallery, you can get a sense of how the DTs compare. The Rugged trails were flush while the DTs stick out a little past the fender flare, not much though.

    Edit- Sorry, the pic is a bit misleading, if you'd like a head on shot, I can get one for you.

    did a quick search but didn't find much. For those of you running the countersteer and a 285 75 16 tire, if you have the stock UCA did you need a spacer for the tire to clear the UCA? If you dont have stock UCA's what uca you running and how close does the 285 75 16 get to it? I dont think i'll need spacers since this wheel is offset, but I wanted to check in here first :)

    Thanks!

    Edit: found someone :)

    Kyle/Marc,
    Thanks for your replies, both your trucks are lookin really cool/badass w/ that wheel/tire combo.....I don't think they stick out too far at all, actually think it looks better than the factory look. Your pics have convinced me that I want to go that same route, will be ordering the wheels soon! Thanks!!
