Is There A Secret List Of FN Wheels Somewhere?
I'm sure everyone knows about the FX Pro wheels, right?
But what about the Overlander Spec A & Spec B?
What about the Verge?
Are there any other awesome looking wheels FN is hiding from us

I don’t know why FN Wheels have to be so secretive.

They are knockoff designs that's why. My FN FX Pros have been great for the past two years and taken a ton of rock punishment. However, if the OEM TRD Pro wheels were 15x8 I would have definitely chose those.

There’s knockoffs all over eBay so the idea they’re a secret is hogwash.
I think they just don’t update their website

Goods sold on ebay by individual sellers vs. a company selling product off a public facing website are two completely different things my friend.

That’s true but there are companies selling knockoffs and not hiding it. Personally I like this two tone but the company I have no clue about

There was a time they sold mag blue volk replicas, and they didn't list it on their website, but it was posted all over social media
If you wanted a set you had to call them. Not sure why they do or don't list it, thats none of my business but it probably has to do with patents.
ultimately, i ended up going in a different direction.

I just spoke to Dustin last Friday about the FX Pros, which are right now going for $849.00/4. I wonder how much these options are going for? I really like the looks of all 3, so weight and price would be the deciding factors for myself.

I emailed over the weekend with intent to purchase a full set of wheels, and zero reply.
I'm not gonna beg for people to take my money.

I still haven't decided if I want new wheels or not (my Trail wheels have grown on me tremendously), but either way it's 2018 and I shouldn't have to use a telephone or even email to order anything that's entirely an off the shelf product.

They're a small ran business. Kind of I guess. They definitely could use some extra help for emails/phone, but being a small business owner myself I understand it too.
Been extremely happy with my FN Wheels and would buy them 100x again. Thinking about changing mine up though because everyone seems to have the Pro wheels. Whether OEM or their version.

Knockoffs?
I don’t think FN is making an attempt to look like something they are not. They openly communicate to their customers that the wheels are Konig wheels. I’ll gladly call them to get what I want.
Much different that the guy in the middle of the mall selling $585 womens purses for $65. Now thats a knockoff.
