    I'm new to tw but this us my second taco. I need your hits input on which wheels I should get because I plan in keeping this truck for a while and want to do it right the first time. It is between the countersteer type x matte black or the fuel trophy matte black. My truck is a 14 dbl cab short box, bilstein 5100 leveled, toyo open country mt 32", dark grey. It would be really helpful if you guys will give your input and possibly post pics of your truck with either of these wheels.

    Love most of the fnwheels. Fuel trophy aren't bad compared to other fuel wheels. I personally think wheels make a vehicle and to me the type x are sweet. Do it right the first time keep it clean!

    Arb front bumper, warn winch, All Pro rear bumper, OME up front, OME and All Pro Standard in Back, ARB locker, 34 x 10.5 KO2's, 17" Level 8 Trackers, and fancy single piece driveshaft.
    Look up the weights of both wheels. I know the countersteer's are pretty light. Not sure about the Fuels. Lighter wheels result in better gas mileage, better ride, quicker acceleration, and better braking. Subtle differences, but they are there.

    Thanks guys for your inputs. I was about to drive myself crazy making up my mind because no wheel I have came across for this truck was one that I had to have. I ended up going with the fuel trophy in the -6 offset. I was still skeptical about them until I actually saw them on the truck in person. I would have to say that pictures don't really do these wheels justice because they look a lot better in person. Also corrected some of the bump steer I had due to the bilstein I have up front. It wasn't terrible before but I guess the extra inch or so of rubber on the road helped this issue.
