FN Wheels willing to do a custom run of Forged or Flow wheels ... (1 Viewer)

[lx4dp]

Gents,
Had a nice hour long conversation with Dustin this afternoon. He's willing to put together a custom run of FN wheels for the Forum. The basic idea is get a custom run produced of the FN style wheels with a wider rim width, custom color or more/less backspacing. The downside here would be this order has to be uniform across all the wheels.

My hope if there are enough people looking that we pull this off. Please share your interest and your ideas below.

I'm looking for 18" x 9.5" wheels in gloss black 10-25 offset. I want the wider rim width and offset for floating on snow.

Do we have enough interest? We need about 5-8 guys for a run.

What are your goals for tire size that you need 9.5” wide wheels?

I run 37x12.5x17 on 8” wide wheels without issue just for reference

The real FN Wheels website here since there are so many knock offs and copy cats.

Same great TRD look at a wider width and offset to allow those of us that want the meaty look. The 9.5" width is required (or preferred) by almost all the tire brands for the 12.50-13.50 (true width).

Please express your interest below. These would be SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper than the BBS wheels and would be forged or flow formed. Exact price varies depending on how many people sign up so somewhere in the $350-650 a wheel (depending on the number of people interested, etc. etc).

** For those of you running huge wheel spacers ... get in on this. A great way to get a stronger wheel and eliminate a spacer at the same time.

There are literally only a handful of options at that size for our bolt pattern. The goal....?.... It's gonna be different for everyone for sure but 18x9.5 is a really hard size to find. So I guess just provide more options in wheel width. My particular case I want a full fat 13" tire. I also want a gloss black wheel. And I also want bigger off set (meaning, smaller off set number). And I want to do all that without buying wheels and then getting them powder coated and then using spacers and then pinching my 12.5 or 13" tires with a narrow 8.5-9.0 rim. It's just to janky for me. I want it done right and Dustin is willing to help us do it right.

To each their own! I hope others want to join you and make this happen as I’d love to see them! Maybe consider cross posing on the tundra forums to see if there is any interest over there

A Heritage clone with CONCAVITY.

Think Arctic Truck concavity but Heritage style look.

Make it forged and I'll but a set of 5.

Ok, these are reeeeeeally similar to the Heritage, they ARE concave, and the ARE flow or forged depending on how many are in in our group buy.

I'll count you as 1 with the FN Wheels.

Contact Arctic Truck for their wheels. They have a US branch now. These guys haven't been receptive to my persuasions of piecing out their kits. They still holding the all or nothing and all of it done in house mantra. G'luck.

Not interested in the Arctic Truck wheels. Would do their flares though.

What I'm after is the concavity in the wheels. Everyone and their momma makes a flat faced wheel.

Concave wheels look so much better than flat faced and would look sick on a Land Cruiser.

So yes-I'm in for a GB on a set of fully forged, concave Heritage clones. I'll take five.

I’d be interested in a group buy on their matte black 18x9.

Fantastic. Let's keep them coming!

Omega - check in with BC Forge. They offer another way to get custom wheels with your exact concave look you want. Ask for Cole Young cole@bcforged-na.com

He's their off road guy. Had a JK or JL or both all dubbied up with 37's.
