Anyone running FSW wheels? Hub/lug centric?

    Just got back from the dealer picking up my truck. When I brushed off their sales pitch for the TRD SEMA bronze wheels and told him I was going with FSW, he mentioned that if they're lug-centric I'll get vibrations. Has anyone running FSW wheels had this problem? Are FSW wheels lug or hub-centric? Also, I thought *hub*-centric was what caused wobble/vibrations.

    If it uses conical lug nuts, it is lugcentric, regardless if it has a 106.1mm bore.

    If it uses flat washer lug nuts and has a 106.1mm bore, it is a true, 100% hubcentric wheel.

    FSW wheels are true, 100% hubcentric; just like all Toyota OE wheels that fit your truck.

    Sometimes, balancing problems can arise from having conical lug seats(lugcentric) and a 106.1mm bore. It has the potential of two competing centering methods; the hub bore center does not coincide with the bolt circle center.

    ETA: All other things being equal...
    Conical lugnuts also have lower clamping force than flat washer lug nuts, given the same torque value. Conical lugs 'eat up' torque in the friction at the conical lug seat.
