Fuel Couplers or Fuel Hostages

Hey guys, could you give me your opinion on which wheels would look better on my black 05 Tacoma Double Cab? I'm going to run a 6" lift and I'm trying to decide between 20x10 Fuel Couplers or Fuel Hostages. I'm going to run them on 33 Nitto trail graps. Thanks!

 

I like the Coupler more. Which Hostage rims? The PVD ones look cool also.

 

I personally prefer the Fuel Hostage. I have the 18" -12 offset 4.5 BS. I wouldn't go with the 20's if you are going to do any off-road.

 

The black hostages. Anyone know of a good place to order wheels online from for a good price?

 

I've decided on going with the hostages. Now I'm trying to decide between 18x9 or 20x10 on 33s

 

Easy choice in my opinion. 18x9 !!!

I ordered mine through Les Schwab in Washington but that was because it was the best place that would ship to Sitka Alaska for a reasonable price.

 

Are you lifted at all?

 

Yes.
Front: 2 3/4" Icon remote res coilover, Camburg UCA.
Rear: 1 1/2" Icon remote res, ALCAN spring pack.
Tires: 285/65r18 Nitto trail grappler
Wheels: 18X9 Fuel Hostage -12 offset, 4.5 BS

 

I'm going to run a 6 inch maxtrac lift. So that's why I'm not sure if 18s will look too small or not.

 

Could you post a pic with your setup?

 

Sure Here you go





There is more in my profile.

 

I love that set up! I'm thinking about running 35s but I don't want to lose a lot of power.

 

Thanks!!! I am a big fan of it too.....
I didn't want to go any higher since I am not a big fan of the drop bracket lifts. I had one on my 92 and my clearance was limited to tire clearance only. I have more clearance and better travel with the set up that I have now vs the dropbracket and 35 I had on my 92. As you mentioned with the 35's I had to re-gear, install new axles/driveshafts and I ate through wheel bearings fairly quick. I didn't want to deal with all that on my 2012. I really like how universal this set up is and I love the look.

 

I love your look too man. You think if I just run 33s on the 6 inch lift I'll be fine?

 

yes, lots of TW members do. If you search through the forums you will find lots of pics of 6" with 33's

 

Yeah I've seen a lot of pics and I love that look too. That's probably what I'll go with. Definitely going with the hostages, they look sick with the trail graps

 

LOL, cant go wrong with that set up!!

 

Can't go wrong with CARid's free shipping with them too going to order them first, then get the trail graps and get them mounted, then get the lift put on. Such a long process

 

LOL, especially if you are like me and not very patient! Make sure to post pics when your done!!

 

I don't think anyone building a truck is patient! Here is my build so far.
