I don’t think that info is accurate. $467 is < my cost. Also, Toyota requires proof of ownership/vin to order Heritage parts. I’ve ordered several wheels/caps/grills, each order is validated. They do the same with FJ TT and TRD pro parts too to protect exclusivity. They also jack the prices way up too.
Edit: not all TRD Pro parts are validated. I.e wheels. Grilles are on lock down as of the past 6-months.
OEM PARTS TO YOU is the best pricing I've found for Toyota parts.
I've got a shockingly expensive cart on a few Toyota parts websites and they come out the cheapest after shipping, YMMV of course.

I bought my TRD Pro BBS wheels for $468 per wheel during the BF sale. They said it was below their cost too. They said the price was so low because Toyota subsidized the TRD sale. (Seattle area)

That’s true, my apologies. I thought this referenced the Heritage wheel.
Looking for some tires for my new TRD Pro wheels. I have 285 70R17 on my RW and no problems (KO2 with a 32.71" diameter)
Anyone know if a 275 70R18 (Looking at Michelin Defender 33.16" diameter) will rub on a stock setup LC200?

My guess is that it won't rub. I didn't crank on my King c/o's when I first mounted the wheels and tires (TRD Pro with BFG 275/70/18 KO2) mainly bc I had stock rear springs and didn't want a 'pre-runner' stance with the 200. No rubbing at all when the shocks were totally bottomed out.
Pretty sure you know this ( @coleAK )...but for others maybe taking that literally....no Toyota wheels are actually bead-locks. Even the mighty Rock Warriors and their Tacoma, 6-lug look-alikes aren’t bead-locks, though they do protect the stem...
Are you maybe just referring to the ring style?
Mini-rant alert...
...Its baffling to me that Toyota stopped producing such an excellent wheel! (RW)
Even if they insisted on an 18” height minimum, they could have still produced the same basic, super-light & strong design...

Why not? Rock Warriors aren't bead lock, in fact the only wheels of that type from a Mfgr. are those on a H1.
You will not get rub on fenders and flaps but at full lock it will rub the inside arm on the driver side. I had defenders on 20 wheel with 60 offset that were 33.0"
I was just talking if this wheel was supposed to be positioned “above” the RW and putting it on their TRD pro in my mind bead locks would make sense, otherwise no reason to get this rim over a RW. If anything the RW is better since it’s a 17”Pretty sure you know this ( @coleAK )...but for others maybe taking that literally....no Toyota wheels are actually bead-locks.

Ya, I do think that would make sense.
No idea why they've abandoned what I consider their best wheel ever...
Can bead locks even be made DOT legal?
That is just the first in a substantial list of reasons I doubt they would do it.

Yes they are street legal as long as running DOT tires. I ran bead locks on my 60 and 80. Most of the Jeep guys up here that off road run them.
I’m strongly considering going to bead locks on my LX when I’m due for tires. After 2 extremely dry summers getting to where we salmon fish on the beach has gotten white knuckle, being able to drop to <15PSI would mobile make it way less stressful.
Eric, did you really get the HE wheels powdercoated silver from the other thread?
Anyways, my HE wheels order got cancelled and this is what I was told: Toyota rejected the order. In order to release these wheels, Toyota requires proof of ownership, as well as proof of damage to the wheel(s) needed. We have canceled/refunded your order in full.
