These new aluminium "steelie" wheels from the fjcompany are pretty sweet!

[N919HJ]

I’m not close to my truck right now but I’m 99% positive some other company made my wheels from FJco. It started with a B. Braid maybe…

 

[firemanj92]

yes it's Braid

I had used the Contact Us link on the FJ Company site and got emailed back by a fella that said the FJ40 fitment rims should be back in stock this year. But that was a few months ago... may want to just email them. I ended up picking a set up used/new from someone that purchased and sold the rig before ever putting them on.

Yeah, I sent them a few emails and called them. Never heard back. Also tried to reach them via Facebook, but nothing. They probably make way too much money selling FJ40s for over $200k a pop to care about selling a couple of grand worth of wheels.

Here's the email thread below... along with some email addresses for folks there. They said 16 weeks on the email dated 5/12/25 so I would said it should be happenning pretty soon...

Email thread:

SANJAY WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THEY ARRIVE. I THINK PRICES WILL BE COMPETITIVE GIVEN THE PRODUCTION COSTS. I CANNOT COOMIT TO A PRICE NOW SINCE THINGS ARE CHANGING DAY TO DAY.

Nelson,

Thanks for the reply... how can I get on a list for when they come in? And are y'all going to have a Black Friday sale this year like you did last year?

Thanks!
Sanjay

Any update on a date they'll be possibly available? I'd really like to replace my 15" stockers, and would prefer FJ Company wheels but if there's not a timeframe at all, I may need to figure something else out...

Cheers,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
Thank you for your interest in our wheels! We truly appreciate you reaching out.
I wanted to let you know that we don't have a specific date for when the wheels will be back in stock just yet. However, we are working hard to get them available as soon as possible.
Your interest in our wheels is greatly appreciated, and I will personally send you an email as soon as they are back in stock.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Best regards,

Thanks for sharing this. I have emailed Nelson directly. Hopefully he will respond as I've noticed that the contact forms on many web sites just go to a black hole.

They replied to my direct message, yay!! Wheels will be back in stock at the end of October is what they said. Crossing my fingers.

To those that have experience with both the City Racer and FJ co 16's. What is preference? Both look like good options.

FYI the wheels are back in stock and they are running a holiday special. Just bought a set of 5 and got $221.00 off.

Yeah, don't remind me of the sale.... I was an eager beaver and bought them the same day they came back in stock, so no sale price for this guy. On the positive side, they do look great, even at full price.

Has anyone had to replace the wheel studs with these FJ Co wheels? Just got my lift and wheels on and it seems the studs could be longer. Mine is a stock ‘70 with drum brakes.

 

[charliemeyer007]

No clue. Back in the day aluminum rims used different lug nuts.

I use these lugs with my aluminum wheels.

3,000 miles in and no issues to date.

“Extended reach lug nuts”

Pardon Our Interruption...

Did you use them because you also felt the studs didn’t extend through far enough?

Correct.
However I am NOT using fjco wheels.

Nope, I'm using OEM lugs with FJ.Co wheels, didn't have to extend the studs.

Just did a set and used the OEM lug nuts. On the 15 52 the stock studs are too short and need the extended nuts.

 

[DougCoMo]

So for those that have FLCo aluminums and use stock studs and lug nuts, is this how yours look?

No, my studs all protrude or with only 1 or 2 sitting flush with lug nuts. I would venture to say you need longer studs or what @clrussell has suggested.

Apparently these nuts don’t work on these FJ Co wheels in case anyone else runs into this issue.
