    Would be nice to see a wheel in a 16 x 7 (7.5) with 4.5 BS for pizza cutters such as the 255 85 16 KM2.

    You might be able to get a steel wheel built to those specs but then you'll have to deal with the brake caliper clearance. (Toyota truck brakes are something that seem to be pretty difficult for steel wheel manufacturers to get around)

    As far as aftermarket alloys, I don't think there is really a big enough demand to justify the spend on the mold cost to build something like that. I could be wrong though, if you have a FB account mention it on the Level 8 facebook page.

    I ran into the caliper issue on my last vehicle. As far as steel wheels I have 2 sets of Tundra steelies at 16 x7 and about 4.5 BS. One for winter and one set in the shed, 32 lbs a piece, ouch, but at $85.00 for a used set, can't complain. Looking to shed some pounds.

    I am still undecided on 255 85 16 or 265 75 16 MTs. I will be making a decision come income tax return time. (April/May) You do have a couple of 16 X 8 alloy wheels that I like, so I will contact you for a quote when I am ready to purchace.

    We do not have all the specs just yet. Once the wheels start to arrive we'll be updated with complete specs for each part number. We'll keep everyone posted here.

    The MK6 is currently the only concept wheel model that has gone into production. The 7 spoke or split 6 models are not planned for production at this time.

    What size were you looking to run the MK6 in? I would be happy to check the lip depth against the Strike 6 for you.
