    UPDATE: Added pic of wheels on truck. Stock tire size no lift.

    Bought a set of 16x8 +0mm offset FN Wheels FX Pros in matte black. Dustin (owner) took at least half an hour on the phone with me answering my stupid ass questions then when I stopped by his warehouse in SoCal he spent another hour answering more questions and made sure I was gonna be good with this purchase before he sold em to me.

    I had a lot of questions about fit, poke, lug nuts, hubcentricity (not sure if this is a word), what to do with the spare and he was able to help me make a good decision based on my needs.

    THERE ARE WHEELS HE SELLS THAT ARE NOT ON THE WEBSITE! The set I bought are not listed on his site, so if there’s something you like send an email to see if they actually carry them in the size and offset you’d prefer!

    I’d highly recommend looking at FN wheels if you’re looking for a new set, they look good, priced appropriately, and the customer service was top notch. I’m not sponsored by FN wheels or anything I’m just a happy customer who’s getting his truck soon.

    This sounds delightful, thanks for sharing and thanks to Dustin (sending this into the void I guess) for being a stand up dude.

    Sure, I’ll try to remember tomorrow, I left the caps in my vehicle. So online the 17” are $1049 I believe. The 16” that I got cost $900 but I’m not sure if it was because he didn’t have to ship them since I picked em up in store or if that’s their actual price. He mentioned sometimes he has blemished wheels (imperfect paint and whatnot but nothing structural) that are sold at a discount. If you’re looking for something even cheaper than what’s noted online definitely worth a shot to ask if he has blemished wheels for sale.

    Similar experience with me. He spoke with me on the phone for a while about the wheels I ordered (should be here in a few weeks), and answered all of my questions. Great guy to talk to.

    Not the greatest pic, it does match the wheel pretty well though I just have the wheels put away since I don’t have the truck yet.

    Caps come with the wheels, the lugs were $35. Included then here showing specs in case you were going to buy your own somewhere else or already had some

    Another happy camper here. Been a few years and the wheels have held up beautifully. B811A7C4-6AD7-400F-976E-959056FA01F6.jpg

    I bought blemished wheels off him a few years back and it was REALLY hard to find the defects. Like a tiny paint drip on the inside of the barrel, or a pin head sized bubble in the paint.

    They still look great years later, love them and love the light weight!

    Good to hear they've improved communication. I've heard good things about their wheels.
