    Fog lights, back-up camera, TRD cat-back exhaust, towing package, int. wiper stalk, Weathertech floor liners, color-matched the front bumper and grille, TSB leaf packs, Front Bilstein 5100's at 0", Eibach/Toytec coils (approx 1.25" front lift - sits almost level), rear Bilstein 5100's.
    Ditto, 6 and 7 spoke look real nice.

    When the time comes fro me to get my wheels, if those are in production they'll be on my short list for sure.

    Any updates on when this design will go in production? Also I hope there will be a 16x8" 0 offset option.

    As of right now there have been no final decisions on what will go into production (if any). Level 8 is still reviewing suggestions and making changes to some of these concept models.

    They can review all they want but the first designs (concept A and B) are going to sell more then the second beveled edge design. I've been waiting years for volk te37 replicas in 17's for my tacoma !!! hurry up before BFD or another manufacturer jumps on it!!!!!

    The original renderings looked much more appealing IMO.

    Please don't use fake chrome or non-functional bling!

    With that said, I really like:

    JD-780-2_f5f574bdb25bc3a5ee08d78cdd261873840a3772.jpg

    Minus the busy center cap.

    Please make it lightweight, good strength, and affordable. It's hard to find nice looking wheels for trucks but this design is very close.

    I do not understand the shiney stars or fake rim locks that people run these days. Functional performance is what I'm looking for.

    ^Well tell Level 8 to get everything rolling and into production lol. I was seriously going to order a set of the 6-spokes on the first page, but I can't wait any longer so I am ordering either Konigs or Method wheels today. Anyways nice wheels, I'm sure the final product will look just as good as the concept.

    I like the design but not as much as the other two six spoke designs.
    No go on the color, I agree with everyone else- black, gunmetal or bronze
    Not feeling that center cap. That thing is huge.

    I like C but I'm not a fan of black wheels. I much prefer silver or a lighter gunmetal color.

    Starting to look like the old American Racing wheels. Blech! Think it's the centercap.

    If you click on Kidd signature his wheels look a lot better than the 6 spoke concept. It's more rounded like the lines of our truck.
