ARCHIVE SCS SR8 wheel, gauging interest

[SCSPerformance]

will 35's go on the stealth 6 or F5? can you get either in 17? i want a set of either

The two 80 series that I posted above are running 315/75/16 and 315/70/17 respectively so they're about a 34.5-35" tire. This is the max size that's recommended for either wheel.

Only the Stealth 6 comes in a 17". The F5 is only available in 16x8.

And I'm confident that the SR8 will be in the same boat.

So is that a NO on additional sizes for the F5? What gives?

For the time being the answer is no. It could happen in the future, but I can't say for sure when. Be patience and if/when it does happen, you can show us your support.

We get 10 different people wanting 10 different things, that's not going to happen b/c it doesn't make sense from our business standpoint. Our wheels are not custom forged wheels where every set can be customize to an individual's taste. They're cast wheels and priced accordingly.

I understand, but we aren't asking for some oddball sizes like an 18x12 or 20x10. I can't imagine it's that hard to offer a wheel in two simple and common sizes like 16x8 and 17x8 (or 9).

i'd order a set of F5s tomorrow if there was a 15" variety...

i do understand where you are coming from a business stand point... can't please everybody, so i'm not holding my breath...

just my .02

I like them, particularly the black. If I was to replace my OEM wheels, this is what I would go with. Not in the budget for the time being, though.

It reminds me of an 8 spoke Volk TE37, which is a very nice forged wheel, would be cool if this was forged and a real beadlock, and not just some "want to look cool wheel"

I agree, I think they look quite similar to the TE37, minus the ring. However I think if you want a forged wheel that looks like a TE37, you buy a Volk TE37! lol Too bad 95% of us can't afford the real deal.

I would like a lower offset/back spacing to bring it out for those people who still uses the over fenders

I agree. I have the F5 in 16x8 with 3.5" BS and it's the perfect amount of poke for the 80. Im sure the SR8 would also look great with the additional spacing, but in reality this size is not as popular for most 6-lug Toyota owners. The Tacoma/FJ/4Runner crowd typically like the 4.5" BS setup.

FWIW, I love my F5's. Customer service from SCS is top notch and Vin (owner) is quite active in the Toyota community which is awesome to see. I'd rock a set of SR8's for sure. But then again, my 80 is super blingy.
