What seemed to be a very easy decision turned into being harder than naming my children. Let me preface by saying I probably could have made my decision in a day after my final choice was made.
I went back and forth on so many brands, styles, beadlock and color. Numerous phone calls to wheel companies about warranties, weights, specs, website wheel simulators and of course every thread I could find on mud. It was overload. I finally narrowed it down to 4.
Fuel Anza black with gray lip
Fuel trophy black with gray lip
Method double standard black with machine lip
TRD Rock Warrior
Late in the game I really wanted SCS wheels stealth 6. Not made for us unfortunately and although they have plans for a 20" 5x150 i didn't want 20's and they thought they might make 18's but no guarantee and not anytime soon. Another option was the new Tundra TRD Pro wheels coming late this year which the downfall to me was regular alloy wheels and painted black of same design of current tundra trd model. Nothing too special.
What I struggled the most with was quality and what would "fit" best on my precious Land Cruiser. I didn't want to deal with the "aftermarket" shakes and balancing issues.
In the end, I purchased the TRD Rock Warrior due to forged alloy, made by Toyota for the LC, warranty extended through my new car warranty and felt it was the most solid all around wheel available for me.
I am pairing it with Toyo open country AT2. 285/70/17.
TRD's arrive mid next week and tires are in stock now. I am having my local dealership install everything to keep full warranty.
Will post pics when installed. I can finally sleep soundly knowing this decision was made and feel it was the best one. Now I can go back to my custom sliders and getting those completed. Stay tuned!
It didn't have to be that difficult of a decision right????
