    I may have missed it in a post. Also, I cannot tell if you eyes are playing tricks on me. Besides the red TRD letters is there a difference in these wheels?20200105_184800.jpg
    Ours (on the left) look matte while the ones on the right look glossy. I cannot tell if it is lighting or maybe even water on them. The shadows are driving my eyes nuts!
    Thanks.

    I have seen the same with the black pro wheels, some look very flat black, and others are not so flat.

    Could it be ceramic coating I wonder? I like the gray TRD more than the gloss.
    I am completely lost now!
    Anyone have an answer?
    TIA

    I believe the coating has changed a few times throughout the years. There is a gloss black version and a matte black version. The one on the right in your pics looks to be the newest one available or it's an FN wheel.

    The ones on the right look like the gloss wheel from the 2020 Venture

    I would agree with WallyT4R,
    The right one looks like the FN wheel with the gloss finish. They sell both matte and gloss finish. Also they come in 8 inch wheel.

    @PhourrunnerPhan will know! Lol
    I doubt it is an FN wheel. It is off a venture edition T4R. I didn't know they started making them in gloss I guess.
    Thanks all for the clarification. Screenshot_20200106-123033_Chrome.jpg

    Was in the "Stealer" today for maintenance... They had an example of each TRD wheel on the display wall; they do come in matte and gloss finish.
