Level 8 Guardian | Gloss Black with Ball Cut Machined Windows




We appreciate any and all feedback!

 

no wonder I couldn't find the bronze, needed a matching 5th spare wheel. that does look dope though but kinda flashy.

 

Kinda bling for my taste, but I am sure they will sell, good looking wheel

 

Thank you for the comments so far. Keep them coming

@00yotasr5 what size do you need? I'd be happy to check with the manufacturer to see if they have what you need available.

 

Not a fan, but I don't like anything polished on my wheels. I wonder how these would look with a polished lip though too.

 

Nice wheel, but to flashy for me, I like your 6 spoke, in gloss gunmetel.

 

Way too busy looking, and not deep enough. Sell them to jeep owners, they're not very conducive to the Tacoma look.

 

Same. Too much going on there.

 

@3coma, funny you say that because the styling is similar to the TRD bead lock, minus the bead lock ring of course.

 

We want matte bronze back!!!

Plus I need a spare 5th wheel to match as well.

 

Thank you for sharing, @12TRDTacoma

What size Guardian do you need? I'd be happy to check stock with Level 8 for you come Monday.

 

16" 4.5BS with -6 offset.

 

I'm running the matte black, and love them. That being said, I am not a fan of the gloss black with the machined windows. Just my opinion.

This why I got mine, I liked the TRD styling, but yours I think looked better and had a better price point.

 

Wish someone just made a replica of the TRD pro wheels. I want them but they are more than I want to spend, these look similar but the TRD's look much better.

 

16x9-6x5.5 139 -6 offset. 4.5 bs. I believe it was 9 width or was it only made in 8.5 width ?

 

I don't care for those either, not my style I guess. The SEMA wheels look great, copy those and you'll have something.

 

FN Wheels already did they made 17x8 and looks identical.
