    We only have the matte black finish in stock right now in the 16x8 ET0, 17x8 ET0, and 17x9 ET0 sizes. We are expecting more stock to arrive throughout the month.


    By this we meant added to our site. Like you noted, we only have limited stock available. The MK6 will only be offered in matte black, matte bronze, and matte gunmetal in the sizes noted.

    We apologize for the confusion.


    Awesome! Can't wait to see them mounted up. Which finish did you go with?

    Most likely 16x8. MK6 is still a very nice looking wheel. I'd love to see it in matte gunmetal!

    New to the Tacoma world. I have a 1998 Tacoma and im looking to get a set of these wheels. Looking at a set of 17's. Does anyone know what would be the best fit for my truck? I plan on doing a 3" body lift to it shortly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I'm not sure how we missed your reply but I emailed Level 8 today and should hear back by tomorrow if you are still interested. I'll post the info anyway.

    Edit: Unfortunately, these won't clear the hub on your Tacoma.

    There's quite a few pics on Level 8's FB page. I haven't seen any bronze yet..

    Awesome, thanks. These wheels will clear factory brakes with no modifications too? Any recommended offset? Just wanna get all the information I need before I make the purchase. Dont wanna deal with rubbing issues.

    If anyone has any tire size suggestions for either 17x8 or 17x9, that would be great. Thanks!

    I double checked this fitment this morning. The wheel specs look good but these weren't showing up in our fitment guide for your vehicle. On a closer look the hub is an issue for your tacoma model. Unfortunately the MK6 won't fit in any size on your truck.

    There's a few other Level 8 wheels that will work though if you like the brand. The ZX, Strike 6 and Guardian would all work.

    Your truck looks awesome Skidooman! I was just looking at your signature and it made me wonder what your bumper would look like if you painted the center of it (between your stinger) black. It might look pretty cool. - certainly different. I like how the bumper hides your winch too.

    these are sweet...quick question,I am going to run 265/70-17. what offset would be better?17x8 0 offset or 17x8 -10 offset? will the -10 offset be pushed out a additional .394 inch= wider stance? and would the 17x8 -10 and 17x9 0 offset stick out about the same distance from the body, .083 further on the 17x9 I believe? thanks

    Easy, 17x8, 0 offset. More negative offset and/or a wider wheel will cause rubbing on back of front wheel well when turning and stuffing.

    I have 17x8.5s w/ 0 offset (4.5" backspacing) on my 2012 with 265/70r17 BFG ATs. They rub at 1/2 lock when compressing the coilovers (all stock.) I've done a little trimming and they're just about clearing now, but if they were only 17x8" wheels, I'd have less (if any) trimming to do.

    And in Pennsylvania, they're just barely legal since they do stick out from the fender flare a bit.

    I had the same tires on my stock 2007 4x4 double cab sport with stock sport wheels and they didn't rub anywhere in the front; turning, stuffed, etc. Never. Nothing. They did rub on some plastic in the rear when they were really, really stuffed though.

    Will the 16x8 0 offset work with a 2001 4x4 trd? Saw you said there was a hub issue with 98. Sales dept said it will fit, just wanted to double check on here
