SCS SR8 new wheel model

Lol, I'm sure if there is any it won't be as horrible as that.

 

In!

 

It's a .5" difference....

 

I was thinking the same thing, though I'll maybe go gunmetal? Dunno.

 

I've mentioned this to other members that have asked, but we can definitely make it happen as long as there's enough interest. All we need is a group of 10-12 folks ready to commit to get things going.

A polished ring wouldn't really flow with our Stealth theme. You're going to have to trust me when I say that the final product will be really appealing. The contrast between the gloss black ring and matte finishes on the faces will POP in the right manner.

Jesse, a little OT at work will keep your wallet happy. The offset of the SR8 will be inline to the current Stealth 6 offering. It's speced to provide just enough poke for that aggressive look, but not overdone.

The valve stem placement is usually determined by the design of the lip. The SR8 will feature a step-lip design which forces the valve stem to be placed at an angle because of the TPMS. For example, on the Stealth 6, the lip is flat and so the valve stem placement can be placed deeper towards the spokes before that initial drop on the barrel(outboard safety hump).

Unfortunately, the ring is not removable. My initial design was to make it removable, but doing so would have made our price point too high. Our goal is to always offer a high quality well designed wheel at an affordable price. So in the end, I had to scrape the idea of making the ring removable.

As long as you think the Stealth 6 the best wheels out there for our trucks, I'm still happy. The SR8 was designed to target another group of off-road enthusiast that likes our current offering, but wanted something just a little more aggressive. As with any design, we can't please everyone, but we sure do try our best. I welcome all opinions whether it's positive, negative, or somewhere in between.

To really get to most out of the wheel design, we had to break the color contrast of gloss and matte. Trust me, our gloss black ring on matte jet black will leave you drooling.

That works.

You do know too much.

Nothing major needs to be done besides removing your mud flaps and doing a little plastic trimming. 16x8 with 4.0" BS puts it pretty close to the Stealth 6 specs. Compared to the OEM Sport wheels, the size will poke out roughly 2" more than stock.

The stance will be very similar to this.

Definitely not. Please see above.

 

Damn I really like them. Will probably end up getting a set. Would be sick if the bead lock was removable to accept real bead locks. An had a color option. But that would be a huge endeavor.

 

Gonna have to stalk RJ to get the first glimpse

 

black bolts instead of the bronze and I'm in for a gunmetal set

 

I can't tell you how nice it is to have a vendor/contributor who understands this. I've been on too many car forums with too many people wearing glass sllippers....

Thanks

 

Lord have mercy on my wallet.

 

i seriously cannot wait for the final version of these, and just when I thought flat black stealth 6's were the best lookin wheel out there for a tacoma, these may make me change that opinion

 

What's wrong with a little beauty mark

Cheers to you too! I let the product, the design, and the customer service that we offer speak for itself. I'm always opened minded and I'm all ears when it comes to constructive feedback.

Time for a money tree

Hopefully, you've seen the Stealth 6 in person b/c they definitely look a lot better in real life than they do in pictures. Thank you for the support!!!

 

Hey Vin you guys ever consider a true beadlock?

 

I wish I might be sending my stealth 6's to get bead locked

 

Considered, yes I have. Will it happen any time soon, probably not. We're not ready to take the step towards that market yet.

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!!! Do it! One of our Canadian sponsored trucks is going to go with OMF for his beadlock conversion. He's going back and forth on whether he's going to use the F-5 or the SR8. It should be pretty sweet!

 

Yeah i'll have to buy another set of wheels so i can drive the truck.

 

I have a set of 17" method wheels w/o tires that I was about to put up for sale. If you're serious and interested in doing it, you can borrow them for a while. Just don't go wheeling with them so I can still sell them afterwards.

 

Well i might be getting some more 6's from you anyway i've got a trailer to put wheels on

 

im not one for ass kissing, but those 8's are straight up sexual. i thought the 5s were the bees knees, but damn. but if anyone is selling the 5s to get the 8s and selling cheap, lemme know

 

That would be insane!
