    Just like our matte gunmetal, in photos and in person, the color shade can change depending on the lighting. I think it looks very cool and unique! You won't see too many trucks on the road sporting this type of finish.

    It definitely looks good! I wasn't trying to take anything away from the product in my above statement. I love SCS wheels!

    The age old white letters in vs out debate :)....i'm not regretting going white out but on my next set of tires, definitely going in.

    I really like the color, it just caught me off guard on how it changes in different lighting. but that's what makes it cool and unique, like you said :D.

    Haha yeah, I don't ever prefer white out, on some it looks okay. On those wheels though, def in would be sweet! Still looks awesome though, jealous!

    Crappy cell phone pic, but got the sticker on! Can't seem to get a clear pic of the wheels unless it's up close. So far I love my F-5's. My previous set up rubbed a lot at full lock. Took these on some trails while camping and no rub during the entire trip. Great product Vin, thanks again!

    Those folks who run the 3.5 backs pacing F-5, is there running on the UCA? Or are spacers needed?

    Nope. I just put them on my stock set up. The only thing I've changed behind there is 5100 shocks. I'm still running the original 265/70R16 tires too.

    Justin, with 3.5" bs, you're gaining 1" of extra clearance between the wheel and UCA so you will not have any issues there. On a 2nd gen, you will achieve a nice wide and aggressive stance that's not overdone. Spacers/adapaters, hub rings, and ET lugs are never needed with any of our wheels.

    If a little poke is not your style, I recommend sticking with 4.50" bs. PM me if you have any further questions.

    Can I get an AMEN on this? The wheels now look perfectly stanced.

    I always thought the 1st Gen Tacos had a better stance and the SCS wheels not only bring that look back, but notch it one better. These wheels make the 2nd Gen look P E R F E C T.

    Love it, that Land Cruiser looks awesome!

    Looking forward to doing one like that myself in the future.

    My father has a Land Cruiser he purchased brand new in 2002.

    As of this month it has 16,000 original miles on it, yes that is 16,000 not 160,000!

    He uses it so little that I have to drive it for him every few weeks just to keep the battery from going dead.

    He has agreed that whenever he decides to get rid of it that I have first shot.

    Thanks Vin!! Thanks as always for making a product that inspires and one that is constantly evolving... and of course having me on Team Stealth. Always stoked to be a part of it!

    FWIW I heard an old dude (like 60) in a polo shirt walk by my truck yesterday while it was parked. His wife asked him "what are you starring at?" his reply was "those are really sweet wheels!" hahah

    I agree... SOOO stoked I decided on the 3.5" BS, the stance is literally perfect!

    Thanks man! Sounds like you've got an epic Hundy in your future. If you ever get bored of it or decide it's not for you, can I be next in line? haha
