    Are these JWL VIA certified?
    From FN's website, seems only a couple of their wheels are certified.

    good question, and I'd be curious to know as well. When mine come in I'll look for the stamping.

    Man, looks killer. We essentially have the same truck, and I'm stoked to see my slab look like this. Pulled the trigger yesterday on the same wheelset in gunmetal! Thanks for posting...

    Just picked 5 wheels locally at their shop. He had the wheels I was interested in pulled off the shelves and sitting on a pallet before I arrived to save me time, and I sensed no urgency in him to make a quick sale, get the customer out the door as quickly as possible type of deal. He thoroughly explains and answers any questions to ensure that you know and get exactly what you paid for and that is reflected in his customer service. He held up a wheel next to my truck so I could see how the color combo would play out, and even opened every single box to do a quality check himself and then opened them again to have me do a final quality check of each wheel before loading it into the back of my truck. Dustin's a great guy to deal with and super cool to chat with, I wouldn't hesitate to do business with Dustin again and would definitely recommend him to others. Grade A customer service right there.

    I'll just leave you with a couple of photos, I wont have any photos of them installed for a least a couple months since I plan on throwing these on when my lift is installed but it seems like most of my parts are on backorder and eta is kinda unknown for when my Fox factory 2.5 rr dsc extended shocks will be arriving. Hoping Cement and Bronze works out nicely...20180710_171152.jpg 20180710_171249.jpg 20180710_171230.jpg 20180710_172002.jpg 20180710_171925.jpg

    Thanks for the photos! Always great to be able to have something to reference back to for decision making purposes.

    I've been thinking I wanted the traditional white on black wheels. But ur example on gun metal is really nice! I may just consider.

    Ended up buying tires and installing the wheels early since 4 wheel parts had a really good deal going on, had Americas tire price match it and save a considerable chunk of moola. Also threw on the TRD decals from importequipment.com, I bought a set of red and matte black, couldn't decide on what color for the decals so black might be thrown on in the future. I ended up taking off the red rings after I took the photos and it looks way better.

    Can't wait for the next shipment of black Countersteers. Talked to Dustin and he said he'd email me as soon as they come in. Really digging these wheels.

    Just an FYI for anyone buying these wheels, I was able to get 6 turns on the stock studs and Gorilla lug nuts. You cannot use extended thread lug nuts as the drilling is too small for them. I decided that 6 turns was not acceptable for me as the general rule is at minimum, you want the same amount of thread engagement as stud diameter, for example: 12mm stud requires 12mm of thread engagement or more, since the thread pitch of the studs is 1.5mm, we need 8 turns to meet that rule. I ended up picking up some ARP wheel studs for a Lexus IS300 and some 35mm open ended lug nuts from WedsSports. 18 turns of thread engagement, and no thoughts in the back of my head about losing a wheel when I'm sort of abusing my truck.
