They have had smooth machined lips in the past without the beadlocks. Though...I personally don't like machined lips since it puts a bright ring which I think makes the tire look smaller.
Here is an example ->
3 options for Ray10s...only 48 hours to decide. Which one looks bro?

I have a magnetic gray and stumbled onto SCS site, didn’t know the cult following and the crazy inventory juvenile process until I started reading. I honestly had no clue about them. I like the gunmetal best but think they are creating The demand and mystic with keeping inventory down etc.. there are tons of wheels out there where you don’t have to call in to be the 20th caller to win the album...I am going with Fuel Vector wheels D601. 18s with 275/65/18s. I think they look better and are easy to get. When I asked SCS about his wheels and liked them but was torn between them and the vectors, he told me I should go with my instinct and get vectors cause they are easier to get. Lol. They know they have people waiting in line like the iPhone people and don’t care if you get them are not. Kind of nuts...but that is their business plan. The crazy thing is you like gunmetal but want them so bad to not get what you want. Go get what you really like man!

Those vectors do look really similar. They are about 7lbs heavier though...and, have .7" more of backspacing, which...I don't know how it actually affects fitment. But....they would be a lot easier to get!
if you go with the fuel vector 17 inch wheels that are 8.5" wide, you would go with the +7 offset one. There is a guy on here who has them on his with 265/70/17 tires and they look great. He didn't have a lift or anything. I am going with the 18's and getting Bilstein 5100s on all 4 corners. going to lift it 1.75" in front with a one inch spacer in the back. The 18's are 9 inch wheels and they are a +1 offset. there is a good site rimsntires.com that can let you look at where you are and where you are looking to go. on the Fuel wheels you need to go with the 6X5.5 lugs. those are the ones that fit 4runners.

Do those have the correct Hub bore size or will you have to use a hub ring?

SCS makes the Stealth6 and F5 which don't have the fake beadlock look.

The SCS Stealth6 is available without the machined lip.
Hub ring, but not sure what the big deal with having to use them. The lugs you have to use on there are conical lugs with a 60 degree seat, but they work to center the wheel as well. I called around on hub rings. Spoke to my 4runner dealer and they said they see them all of the time on Oil Changes and Tire Rotations. The hub does not carry any load. The rings stay on there forever and just close the gap. no big deal.

Well...that sucks. So...I was all ready to order 5 matte dark bronze...because I wanted something "different". Refreshed constantly at 6pm PST...added 5 the second they were shown as "buy"...went super quick through shipping address...and....5 went down to 2 available. Not sure how I could have been any quicker.
Guess that means I will have to wait for Freeman toyota to order my wheels for me on their next order and wait...a month or more.
This is a crazy lottery system to try and buy them direct from SCS.

Lol.. maybe it’s for the best. You might get more options next release?
SCS fuels the hype with their business model. They could just allow people to order in advance and give estimated lead times, but it seems like they want to fuel the release date/time hype.
Any sneaker heads here? Same bs.....

Lol yeah the SCS process is stupid. They have people acting crazy to buy a frickin wheel.. lol guys, there are tons of better wheels, don’t fall in the trap. I actually have a friend that is very technical and told me he could have a script hit the website every second and buy them for me if I wanted. I just didn’t want to play the bs game. For a frickin wheel? Cmon man!,

Yeah, it’s no big deal until they seize on the hub due to the hub corroding or the tire rotation shop doesn’t realize one or more fell off. Using 2 items (wheel and ring) will usually have more play than having a wheel with the correct hub bore size.
Yeah I made a mistake. Didn’t need a hub ring because 108mm is within the specs of Toyota 4runners. My installer used extended thread conical style lug nuts that basically made the wheel lug centric. He said there was no room to fit a hub ring. So that is that. Didn’t have to play the scs game and got better looking wheels!! More choices out there then begging scs to get their wheels that are never in inventory lol. I got a few pictures on another thread. Very clean looking wheel.
