New wheel choice

[uzj100]

Is anyone running these on a 100 yet? I think they are sub 30 lbs each. I am verifying the weight with the sales group over there.

I like Dakar look of these wheels.

Thats a good looking wheel, and the fact that it is hub centric is a big plus.

You call and ask for prices?

Also, what's the stock 18" offset and width?

I like the style, as I'm a fan of Volk wheels, and I like the price. However, the offset might not work too well for some.

These wheels will stick out 61mm more than stock. Best bet would be for those wanting to run 33's.

nice look, and nice color choices as well!

I'm not seeing the price! How much are they for 5 wheels?

Is that like 2 inches further? That's a lot. Why can't they be 15 mm......that would be sweet.

You sir are my hero! Going to order a set in a hurry here....as long as they can ship to canada!

$325/ea

Ouch! But, I like them. There are so few aftermarket wheels I like better than OEM, but these might be one's to consider.

I'd like to see how these fit if any of you actually order some. I would think with that offset we would be hitting the fenders and wheelwells on anything more than about a 32 inch tire.

They look great, if no one else becomes the guinea pig maybe I'll try a set.

Got an email back, 21 lbs each.

I want to see these mounted on a 100.

They are running a special for 5 matte black for 1200.

61mm = 2.4 inches!

 

[bluecruiser]

61mm = 2.4 inches!

You would not be able to run 34s or 35s with these. At least from what I have seen, the tires would be hitting the fenders. They do look good though.

the facotry offset is 40mm.

The rims are 18x9 +12 and the factory wheel is 18X8 +40

so we will have 15mm more inside clearance but the WHEEL will stick out another 41mm or 1.67"

With camber gain in the front and camber gain in the rear from flexing it may not be an issue.

If they could come out with an 8" wheel at a 20 offset these things would sell like hotcakes to serious LC 100 off roaders looking to fit 35s

the facotry offset is 40mm.

Factory offset is +60mm.

I think these might work for 35s on 18s. I had to run 1.25" spacers on my 03+ OEM LC wheels to solve rubbing issues and many in my situation run 1.5". I'd have to do the math but it should be very close.

The thing that concerns me is the weight. These come in 6-9 lbs lighter per wheel than OEM and with the weight of a fully built 100 aired down to 18 psi, I wonder if it could handle drops and rock edge impacts. Maybe I should get them as a set of city wheels.

So is factory offset 40mm or 60mm?

Both Blue Cruiser and I had a lot of rubbing issues with 1.25" spacers. We were both running a 295 tire. But his were on 18's and mine on 16's. The rubbing we experienced was not only at the back of the wheel well where you have to trim and hammer down the pinch weld. But also at the top of the wheel well. Are you not getting ANY rub at that point? I am curious how. I believe you and Blue cruiser are running the same exact tire... But he has the steel tundra wheels.... I wonder if there is a difference in the wheel.... Hmmmm...

I got a price quote of $1400 for 4 wheels shipped to Canada. Would like to know for sure if there will be any rubbing issues because the price is not cheap.

I have contacted dustin about different offsets. I will let you know what I find out.
