FN FX Pro wheels

Tried calling today and got VM; left a message. Hoping to get a call back. Were you able to get through and order?

 

Yes. I talked to him for like 20 min about the wheels.

 

Good deal... I'll just try calling back tomorrow if I don't hear from him by then. Cheers!

 

Where did they move?

 

Boy a lot of brave people. I have learned from past experience dealing with companies like this one never ends well . What happen the last two months should tell you all you need to know . Good luck to all ordering . Went on the website today don't even look like they updated that .

 

Countless people have ordered through Dustin, I've ordered with him 3 times already and will be again this week, never an issue aside from having to be patient. Once the orders have been made I get the wheels within a work week. What looks like poor business to you is a small group of guys trying to manage getting calls and emails from people constantly. I cant recall ever hearing anything bad about them aside from people being bothered by not being able to get a hold of them.

Honestly, no hate here, as I've ordered from other popular brands and have nothing bad to say about the wheels. But, at least FN wheels doesn't sell large orders to dealerships making it impossible to get a hold of a set unless you're ready the day they arrive at the vendors warehouse. People can say what they want, I've spoken with dealers about the quantity and regularity of their stock from another brand of popular wheel. Orders like that would clearly have an effect on availability for people like us.

Awesome. I have matte black, but damn those look good! Making me question my choice .

 

how much

 

Someone recently posted they are $899 a set, so $224 a piece.

I just bought 2 more matte black and the shipment was sent out the same day. I was a returning customer so I got a bit of a discount, though Dustin did say the price increased a bit since I bought them back in 2016, but not by much (I paid $829).

It did take a bit to get in touch with Dustin, but when you do, he is amazing. I understand it shouldn't be that hard to get in contact with a company, but when you do, it's incredible customer service. I'd say, leave a message and wait a day for him to call you back (he actually did call me back the same day, but I missed the call). After that, I just would call a few times a week without leaving a message and was finally able to get a hold of him. Again, not ideal, but I feel it's worth the extra effort, especially since I already have 3 of these...

I can also say that these wheels are solid!!! I bought a replacement wheel I trashed, and decided to get another as my spare so I can have a true spare. You can see/read about that here if you're interested https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...middle-of-nowhere-goes-horribly-wrong.617615/. I drove on this rim for miles in some very rocky/rugged terrain in South Dakota, but it held up incredibly well and turned a dire situation into a bad situation. So, not only do they look good, they are tough!!

Sorry, that was way more information than you asked, but if you are considering these wheels, figured it may help . If not, hopefully you stopped reading after the first line .

 

Had my new FN Pros in matte black installed yesterday on my '17 TRD OR (MGM). Real satisfied with how it turned out; looks better in person IMO. Wrapped in 265/70/r17 Falken Wildpeak A/T3Ws on stock suspension. Discount Tire had no issue with anything during the install (TPMS transferred from OEM off road wheels without issue). Probably doesn't need to be mentioned by now but no rubbing whatsoever with this size rubber on stock suspension.

 

I have the same setup, and had to take off my front mudflaps to stop rubbing under certain conditions (turning while going uphill). Did you not have mudflaps to begin with?

 

Right, I didn't have the OEM mudflaps; looks like you're not alone with that issue. I remember seeing some others report the same.

I think I saw someone running Rokblokz or a similar slim aftermarket mudflap without issue though? Maybe worth checking out?

 

Yeah, that's on my to-do list to research of the aftermarket mudflaps will work with this setup. one stumbling block is that they are kind of pricey.

 

Nice, I had Discount Tire install them originally back in 2016, and just had them install 2 more yesterday without any issues, and they had to put a new TPMS sensor in the one wheel that I destroyed. I also have a true spare with same wheel/tire, so that'll be nice. I haven't mounted under my truck yet, but I read several posts and it shouldn't be an issue -- I have the same sized tires, but BFG KO2s.

I did remove the front flaps when I originally put them on as it was rubbing, and haven't looked for alternatives because it hasn't been that big of a deal. I'm cool with just having the flaps on the back.

My driveway dips a bit and if I go too fast in a full turn, I will get a quick rub, but I've learned how to avoid that by going a bit slower, so all good.

 

I bought a set of 5 gun metal last year and just got around to putting them on. Decided to go with the LT255/80R17 Falken A/T's

 

Are these 16’s?

 

Shot them an email on some wheels for my tundra.

 

Yes
