    I'm glad you like them. I agree! :)
    LOL. Shoot me a PM when you're ready for a set, and I'll make sure you are taken care of.

    Glad you like them too! See below.

    They are priced the same as the 17" Konig Countersteer Type X wheels, which is $799 picked up from FN Wheels in Southern California or $899 shipped anywhere in the continental USA. I believe there is a promotional offer of free spline drive lug nuts for the first few orders.

    Subbin. That first wheel in the OP looks excellent and has exactly the specs I would like.

    Thank you! If I can get someone with a Black Sand Pearl Tacoma to come by I will hold up the wheels and take pictures.

    I'm workin' on it. But they did just come in yesterday, so it might be a few days. I'm pretty sure I will end up swapping out my wheels for a set of these new 17x9" Konig Six Shooters (that's been announced as the name of the new wheel), so I should have photos shortly.

    Not a problem.

    In fact, anyone who is reading this post: If you have a Black Sand Pearl Tacoma, you're in the Corona/Riverside area and you are willing to let me take some photos when the wheels next to your truck please contact me! :)

    Howdy! :wave:

    I have some new photos of the 16x8" -25mm offset wheels to share with everyone. I'll do my best to get the photos posted up later tonight. These are photos of samples of the actual wheels now, in a finished state, just prior to the production run.
