    FN Wheels. Since we can’t fit the OEM TRD 16” fake beadlock wheels due to our caliber size, these are the best option if you are like me and love the look of that wheel….which I have ever since seeing them on an FJ years ago.

    Believe they are 17 x 8.5. No hubcentric ring needed. FN Wheels is also great to work with and spent a bunch of time discussing wheel options with me over the phone before I pulled the trigger.

    Love the wheels, hate the tires so far (General Grabber ATX). Multiple attempts at balancing + a road force balance and they still wobble at 60mph. Running out of patience.

    I need to wash mine as well for the same reason. I’m approaching 16K miles and still looks good as new. I have a few chips these days but not gonna freak out Dr Color Chip them …. I keep mine in the garage and dry when not in use…. So I’m sure my SO will be around as long as they keep making gasoline..

    I agree with you. Mine has almost 13,000 miles on it. And it’s kept in my garage. I have no intention in trading it in for the 6th gen.
