Thanks, they are actually the bronze wheels. I love them! I had actually ordered a set of RAY 10s and the next day saw these on the forum and regretted my order. Lucky me, the RAY 10s are out of stock until Feb and they offered a refund, so I ordered these the next day.
The tires are 275/70/17. Stock suspension for now, and they only rub when reversing and turning the wheels sharply on the front fender lip. I did have to remove the front mud flaps as they rubbed there when turning sharply. With stock trail wheels the tires did not rub at all.

You have any other pictures from some different angles?
Yeah, I can see that they are bronze now . . . must have been my phone that made them look gray!
I like your thinking... keeping things closer to stock.
I have been contemplating no lift + 265 or 275 A/T tires vs 1.75/1" lift + 275s vs 3/2" lift + 285s.
Love the look of 3/2" lift, but I think if I did that I might really catch the "mod bug" - bumpers, sliders, winch, armor. . . could be dangerous!

I wouldn't know those weren't 285s without looking!
Just like when I saw a 14 SR5 with 275 KO2s and a 3/2 lift in person. . . totally thought they were 285s!
You're going to get even more compliments with your lift on!

Thanks, in the background of one of the pics you can see part of one of my neighbors' TRD Pro. He has a 2 inch lift I think and 285 Goodyear Kevlar MTs. It looks pretty badass.

Couldn't be happier with how these wheels look.

These are the best looking wheels I've seen in a long time!
I've been going back and forth about wheels for some time, not really finding exactly what I like. These seem to be it, but I did like the Ray 10's also.
Are these wheels flow formed like the Konigs?

**EDITED**
Only the 6 Shooters from FN are flow formed.
Technically the FN 5 Star in 5 bolt pattern (5 x 150) is flow formed as well (fits Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Tundra)

Dustin is a great guy to do business with.
I called about a week ago. and he answered every question I had, and some I hadn't even thought of. I think he would have "talked wheels" all day! I'm sure he is a very busy man, but it says something to me when the owner takes such pains to explain to a prospective customer..
I just wish I could finally decide on which FN wheel I want, but at this point in time, I'm leaning toward Six Shooter as a lighter alternative with flow formed construction .

Yes! Very true. He's certainly passionate about what he does.
Weightwise the Countersteer is about the same as the Six Shooter, but much more aggressive stance.
Can you confirm that just the Six Shooter is flow-formed? Or are the other FN wheels as well?

If I recall correctly, the Konigs are flow formed, the Six Shooters, and Countersteers. I was also interested the the f(x) Pros, which are conventionally cast, and come from a completely different factory, which is not a bad thing, but all consumer goods must be made to a price .. Some higher, some lower..
The whole industry is surprisingly interesting ..
It would be nice if Dustin could enter the thread and clear everything up..

**Edited** I texted Dustin he confirmed - ONLY the FN Six Shooters in 6 bolt patten are flow formed (Also, the FN Five Star in 5 bolt pattern - to fit Tundra, LandCruiser, Sequoia - is flow formed also). End Edit***
That does sound right though that they're from different factories.
FWIW, all the wheels are "FN". I don't think Dustin technically sells "Konig" wheels any longer. . . meaning they're no longer working in collaboration.
