FN Wheels : 100-Series Specific Wheels (4 Viewers)

[FNWheels]

Much appreciated. I'll get my info to you by email this evening when I get off work.

Thank you. So far so good, as we have a few customers who have already contacted us asking to leave deposits. Looks like the 17x8" Five Star matte bronze special order will very likely be good to go. I really appreciate everyone's patience and understanding with the longer than expected production schedule.

Happy to see Dustin getting some love for his wheels. I've been happily running a set for a while now. Dustin is awesome to work with. He was able to next day me a spare for a Moab trip a couple months ago. I've enjoyed repping wheels that very few had, but that's not good for Dustin's business.

Soon mine will probably go off to OMF for some beadlock treatment.

I was later than I said I would be, but got an email out to you this morning.

Thank you Kevin. How was your trip by the way?

Looking forward to seeing your beadlocked Five Stars too!

Thanks Jason. I will respond to your email and a few other members' emails this afternoon. I just need to work up the shipping quotes for you guys.

Looks like we won't have any problem getting this order into our manufacturer by the end of this week. Thank you everyone for your patronage and patience. The matte bronze LC-100 Five Stars are going to be sweet.

I'm excited. I'm with everyone else in the world, I guess - here in 2025 everything I buy seems crazy expensive. But a set of 5 brand new wheels that aren't cast pot-metal junk for $1200ish (plus that is actually *made to fit* this kinda-hard-to-fit truck) is just not bad. And internal bead seat ribs too to help keep the tires where they're supposed to be at 12psi? Cmon.

The timeline works great for me, too - that means I can spend this summer refreshing any remaining suspension bits, maybe doing a sensor lift on the AHC and probably tucking a 1" body lift under the truck too. Then it's 18s/33s going to 17s/35s, so more sidewall, a bigger tire overall, and a couple more inches net of clearance. Woooooo.

Wow! Just received my gunmetal five-stars. Incredible quality and look! Thanks!

Thank you for the acknowledgement. We tried to make sure that we checked every box off the LC100 wish list with these wheels, and I'm happy that you guys like them.

Looks great @alimh ! Thanks again! By the way, do my eyes deceive me, or did you import a RHD Landcruiser from Japan? Super cool!

You are correct! Imported 1HDT-FE.

I've been looking for new wheels for a month or so, absolutely love the look of these. Would very likely buy an aluminum/steel color way to go with my cruiser.

Something like this? This is a sample we made with a fully machined face:

That machined face sample is awesome. I'd rock a set of those.

Are those 33s or 35s? Wheels look great, tires look like there might be some rub. I'm planning on 35s and going further down the path of a small body lift and stuff - I've already clearanced my pinch welds and washer reservoir cover up front.

Were those emails already sent out? I haven't seen anything come through but wondering if it may have been flagged by my spam filter.

We sent out about a half dozen or emails. I'll check to see what's going on and resend your email.

If anyone else was expecting a private message or an email and didn't receive one please let me know.

Thanks!

Absolutely, these look amazing. I'll need to send you a message!

Got the email but don't see the link mentioned to do the payment online. I'll try calling later this morning (assuming it's like 5am there right now)

Sorry about my delay. I text you. Hoping I can still get the 5 star in the gray with what you text last week. Thanks Dustin

 

[Blake1]

I am in for a set eventually.. when I get my next set of tires I will do wheels. .. I think my current LTX/s from 2022 but keeping an eye out on new products from you guys now.

 

[Mrpizza]

I want a set of the 5 spoke gunmetal. Will be a couple years though.

 

[FNWheels]

Thanks guys. I hope you all had a nice holiday weekend.

We are now sold out of the matte gunmetal as of this past weekend. ETA for matte gunmetal is going to be the same as the matte bronze special order : 4-6 months.

If you're thinking of ordering a set, please consider pre-ordering a set with a deposit. We're going to continue producing Landcruiser 100 wheels, but production we will be limited to a couple of times a year unless we get a group of customers who want to place a special order like we did with the matte bronze Five stars.

I also wanted to share another wheel request that has come up. Some of you guys have expressed interest in 18" wheels with higher offsets. The FX Pro has been one of our most popular wheels for the last few years. The 18" FX Pro is a high strength flow formed wheel with a relatively light weight for an 18" wheel.

We can manufacturer our 18" FX Pro wheels with a straight through, hub centric center bore to fit over the 100-series hubs, and we can offer the wheels in 18x8.5" +30mm offset or 18x9" +35mm offset We've never offered these fitments before, but if it's something you guys would like to see we can try to get a group buy / special order going. Same minimums / lead times apply as with the 17x8" Five Stars (~40 wheels of the same spec and 4-6 months lead time).

Here's an example of the 18x9" +25mm offset FN Wheels FX Pro on a 100-series (thank you to our friends at Chi-Town 4x4 for the picture of their LX470). Chi-Town 4x4 installed a small wheel spacer to be able to fit the flat cap center cap shown in this image. We would change the center cap design from what's shown below so that the wheels could be installed without the use of a wheel spacer on a 100-series Landcruiser.

I look forward to hearing IH8Mud member feedback. Thanks everyone!
