    Thank you for the kind words! Your truck came out great! The height, stance, tire, wheel (of course), etc. is exactly as I like to set them up myself. I'm glad you like your "f'n" sweet FN Wheels!

    :) Thanks! Blue Ribbon Metallic is still such a new / rare color that I don't think we have any photos yet. In my opinion, graphite gunmetal or matte bronze wheels would look awesome on BRM. Maybe you can be the first? :)

    I agree - I think I would lean towards bronze on blue too, but the graphite does look so good on everything.

    Super clean! I do a lot of graphite gunmetal on magnetic grey metallic (MGM), but the matte black looks really good too!

    05/07/2014 : Just a quick update...

    All 18x9" 6x139.7 BFDs for Tacomas are currently sold out, but we will have more back in stock by the end of the month. If you need a set sooner I do have a dealer in Canada and one in the mid-west USA that have limited stock on hand.

    I am taking pre-orders for the upcoming shipment later this month. All I need is a name, e-mail address and phone # to reserve a set for you (no payment required to reserve a set). Incentives are also available for anyone who pre-orders a set. :)

    Private message (PM) through the forum, you can contact FN Wheels at : (951)735-1100, or call me / text me directly on my cell anytime: (714)390-9387.

    Currently no, but I do have a set in stock that we had custom powder coated bright chrome silver. It's not chrome, despite chrome being in the name. I'll post photos shortly.

    We will have more in the original titanium silver towards the end of this year. It sold very slowly initially, so we did not order additional production runs. However, I've been hearing a lot of demand for the titanium silver again, so FN Wheels is going to put it back into production.

    Cool! I agree about the tire choices. It's nice to have a lot of choices, but it also makes it hard to narrow it down.

    I love my AT2s. They look bad ass and have a 60k tread life. Plus they are cheaper than most competing tires.

    Not sure if it was mentioned or not, but are these hub-centric? Very nice!

    Ouch. That might be a little steep. What kind of TPMS sensors did they quote for you? Do you have steel wheels right now? If not you don't need new sensors.

    Some customers have also had success mounting their steel sensors "backwards" to correct the valve stem angle. PM me for more info.

    Thanks! I'm glad you like our wheels! The wheels themselves are not hubcentric, however we do include hub centric rings for you. We also include a center cap that pushes thru the backside of the wheel. The cap is 106mm inside diameter (same as a Toyota hub), and the outside diameter of the cap is matched to the wheel with a flange. When you use either the provided cap or the provided hub ring you will not have any issues. Furthermore, the lug seats of the BFDs are drilled extra deep for maximum Toyota stud engagement, which is very important on a Toyota truck. I've sold many, many sets of FN Wheels BFDs predominantly (I would estimate 95%+) to Toyota owners, I am a Toyota owner with BFDs on my truck, my friends have BFDs on their Toyotas, and we've never had a single vibration issue. :) I firmly stand behind the FN Wheels BFDs.
