    That's the one! That looks great! I have seen that on their website come to think of it. Black, for sure.

    Love the bronze!

    Thinking about the same wheels for my mag grey '15. Sorry if you already posted this elsewhere, but what backspace/offset are your wheels?

    (Got the same avid bumper guard btw, nice :thumbsup:)

    Standard meaning 3.52"?

    Yep. They stick out a bit on each side (+/- 2"?). As in, One should probably consider fender flares to keep the dirt & mud off the side of your truck.

    Thanks man. Makes me think I'll go with the 4.5bs to avoid exactly what you're talking about. The aggressive stance looks tough tho'.

    The 4.5 backspace, or 0 offset, will still give you a wide stance compared to factory. Just wont be as extreme as 3.52 backspace. Tires will just start to stick out past the stock flares.

    Had a great conversation with Dustin today about a future purchase.

    I'll repeat what's been said here dozens of times; he's just a super nice guy.

    If you're thinking about FN Wheels, give him a call and get the kind of one on one attention and time that is all but gone in this "click-it-and-buy-it" world.

    These look great in person. Now if I can just find some time to get the new tires mounted and balanced.

    Hey I was just looking at the TRD center cap mods and I see two ways people install those. The one I understand is removing the top section of the plastic matching caps and using the bottom portion, after a bit of filing.

    But, how the heck are some of you guys getting them flush on the wheel?

    Pretty sure it depends on which wheel offset you get. The 0 offset wheel comes with a flush center cap. No modification needed. Both TRD and plain center caps.

    Ahhhhhhh. I see. I have the -25mm offset. No wonder. I kept looking at my caps trying to figure that out.

    Ordered my set last Monday and received them this morning. Dustin is a great guy. First time in all my years of buying online that I got a follow up phone call on my order to go over and verify details. I even got some great gifts to go along with my order. Can't wait to put them on. 16x8 -25. image.jpgimage.jpg

    [QUOTE="moondeath, [/QUOTE]

    How do you like the Falkens? I put an order in for a set of 265/75r16 to go on my new 16x8 0 offset Matte Black 5 stars!

    Also, like everyone else has said, Dustin has great customer service skills. His phone was ringing off the hook when I was on the phone with him. He answered every question I had in depth and made sure I completely understood what my wheels would look like and why he thought I should go with the wheel I purchased.
