Still waiting on availability status from supplier
Hood was getting modded and painted
https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/238896-hood-louvers-retro-fzj80.html
Love the louvering on the hood! I am currently looking into installing the rear slider vents from a 100 series into my hood to help keep the combo S/C and Arizona temps down. I see you placed them in the ideal spot for both pressure and avoiding the hood supports. I still need to get the vents painted then start cutting the hood - Yikes! Ill post pics when done.
Love the wheels too - a very clean 80!

treerootCO,
So I am really thinking of getting these rims and if you could answer a few questions that would be great?
1) How are they at Highway speeds? I do a fare bit of highway driving.
2) Do they balance well?
3) Did you have to use any wheel spacers for them to fit?
4) With beadlocks some say that they lose air quickly. Is that the case with these?
5) How do you like them?
Thanks for your time!
Ryan

I have been looking for clear front indicator lenses, where do they come from /
I have to ship an order from Christo in the next week or so, maybe we can get them put into the box?

Had to sell the winch to put gas in.
There are no issues at highway speeds. The only vibration I have felt so far had nothing to do with the rims. I parked the 80 for about a week and the Toyos must have flat spotted. A few miles that went away.
I would assume they balance well, I have yet to take them in and haven't noticed anything.
Wheel spacers were not required unless you want to run the centercaps. I haven't got to it yet but I'll modify the caps that came with them to fit.
I have set the air pressure and checked it often. It has never lost any air and each time I check, the gauge reads exactly how I left it.
I really like the rims and couldn't be happier. Carry a spare because it will take some time to tear one down to patch a tire.
The clear lenses came from Mot

I think Christo told him he couldn't run a winch because this 80 is too clean and purty to ever get in a situation where it would need a winch.
We are waiting for the Japanese spec, injection moulded fake clear plastic lens with LED's and gray coated speaker wire. It will look pimp/.
What is the back spacing on the rims? Just making sure that they will fit.
4.5" backspacing. Same as stock.
Thanks, I really want these rims so I am checking everything twice to make sure everything will work.
I spoke to the supplier yesterday, and they will get back to me with price and availability. Their main business is military so they are pretty busy with that. The commercial side is not that big.,
ohh my god that has to be one of the best moded LC 80 I have ever seen........marvelous!
