    do you have any pictures with the 17X9's mounted? Can you update the first post with what you can run the wheels with as far as tire sizes stock? For example, can you run 285/70/17 with a little trimming of plastic? I like the color of the 17X9's but I like the lip of the 17X8's :(

    I will be making a post specifically for the Konig Six Shooters very soon. My photographer just took professional photos, and as soon as he gets them edited and sent over I will make a new post.

    265/65R17 stock sized tires will fit perfectly on the 17x9" Konig Six Shooters, and there will only be minimal plastic rubbing / mud flap rubbing, just like you'd have with any other wheels that have slightly lower back spacing / offset than stock.

    285/70R17 will require a lift or leveling kit (again, just as with any wheels), and some trimming of the plastic fender liner and removal or trimming of the front mud flaps.

    The 17x8" Konig Countersteer Type X has the flat face, deep lip design. The 17x9" Konig Six Shooter has more of the concave spoke, curve-to-the center design. If you'd like a set of Countersteer Type X wheels in the graphite color of the Six Shooter we can always have a set custom powder coated for you. :)

    I'm working on getting some better photos. I'll likely mount a set on my Tacoma very soon. I'm just working on getting a set of tires. Here are a few customer submitted photos I have for now:

    Bad picture but it's the only one I took.. I got them installed on my lunch break.... America's Tire... They did it dam fast.. Stock suspension for now.. Tire is 265/70-17 General grabber at2. It's rubbing when turning either direction.. Will do some cutting and removal of front mud flaps once I get off and go home.

    Thanks again Rudy! It was nice meeting you too, and your truck looks great! I'm really loving the 2012's, and I think the sharp design of the Countersteer Type X flows well with the aggressive new front-end.

    There's always a little rubbing with that tire size on stock suspension, but the trimming of the fender liner is pretty minor. :thumbsup:

    09/27/2012:

    Only two sets of 17x8" Konig Countersteer Type X wheels left in stock in matte black. I can make two sets of five (5) if anyone needs a full size spare, or I can provide singles for the time being as well.

    The next shipment will be about 60-90 days out, so if you've been waiting to order a set now might be a good time to order! :)

    Thanks everyone!

    Got any of the 17" Countersteer Type X in Gunmetal? Do you have other pics of those, maybe mounted on a white Taco or vehicle? Thanks.

    *** UPDATE : 10/11/2012 ***

    Matte black is currently sold out. Anthracite light gunmetal and matte bronze are in-stock. Please contact me to pre-order a set of matte black. The eta for factory-finished matte black Countersteer Type X wheels is mid-December. I also can make a special offer (for a limited time) on having a set powder coated matte black for anyone who can't wait.

    I don't have any photos of bronze on a red Tacoma, but I think that color combination will look great. It's a nice contrast.

    If you're local (your location says So Cal), you can come by and I'll hold up a bronze wheel next to your red Tacoma. :thumbsup:

    No problem! Just give me a ring whenever you want to come down and look at wheels. :)
