Military style wheel

Evening ladies and gents,

First time poster and new owner.

I'm looking for a military style wheel for my TRDOR 6MT. preferably in a matte or neutral finish.

Any recommendations?

 

Do you mean like a steelie? Fj steelies are very popular an affordable they usually are just flat black

 

Black Rhino Armory. Also comes in black.

But most of the trucks we sent overseas usually just had steel wheels like the 16inch tacoma spares or 17 inch FJ steelies, or the factory TRD wheels.

Factory steelies:



Black Rhino:

 

Also heavy as a bitch.

 

Yeah, Steelies are dope as well. Something with that that solid face.

Although, I do wonder, do those wheel affect brale cooling and dust.

 

Valid. So are the steelies comparatively, but if you want the look...

 

Welcome to the forum.

My recommendation is to Find as light of a wheel as possible. You also didn’t mention purpose either. So If it’s just for looks that’s a different suggestion than for off roading with lots of rocks and stuff.

Also welcome to TW and congratulations on the new truck.

 

Yeah, the rhino's are cool AF. I saw a store with them before, but I thought they only made them for wranglers.

Weight wise, I wonder what we're talking about, because ideally I'd want to stay at the same weight or lighter.

 

Yeah the rhinos are sick. Jeep around here with the tan ones. Looks great. They weigh 31lbs. For reference my stock 2015 TRD OR wheels weigh 25lbs. The Konig countersteers (about as light as you can get) are 18lbs.

Rotational mass adds up so if you’re going to cut weight, do it in the tire/wheel combo. Will help with mpg and longevity of the truck.

 

Several people here run them.

Rhino wheels weigh 35 per their website in 17". The TRD factory ones weigh low 20s. 17" FJ steelies weigh right around 30.

 

Use would be mainly cosmetic, not to say that Zulu ( yeah...I name my vehicles, judge me ) won't be taken off road, he will, but probably nothing too extreme.

 

I vote black rhino armory

 

No judgement. Mine hasn't earned or given an inclination of a name yet.

I have decreed "You Raggedy Bitch" a few times though.

 

Thanks for the info brother, yeah I don't like that weight increase, but maybe there's some other styles that I can find that still invoke the same feeling, without the weight gain.

 

The spare steel wheels from tacomas are 16 inch. They may be a touch lighter than the FJ rims.

 

Are there 16 inch Steelies?

 

No worries, my trucks name is Trouble. I wasn’t chased down by a police helicopter not even 12hrs after buying it.

I’m a big fan of the Stealth custom series F5 but I can’t justify the price of wheels when I have a good set.

I could see your truck with all black turning out pretty bad ass.

From @Harvo :

Looking to get a second set of wheels and I'm trying to get the differences between the 2 popular options.

FJ Steels are 17" and have a 14 offset (30lbs)

Tacoma stock spare Steels are 16" and have a 30 offset (22 lbs)

 

Stock Tacoma spares. I run them on mines
