I here thatnot to sound like a jerk or anything
but this is a picture thread...there are tons of other threads to talk about the V6 vs. V8 and all that jazz...so yeahfftopic:
Nice ride! I picked up a new SR5 Premium a few months ago and have been researching and wringing my hands over lift, tires, and wheels. I have also been eyeing the 17x8 SEMA replicas. I'm sure some would not recommend but it is likely most all wheels come form a few China factories. They are hub centric, use the stock lug nuts, and one seller does offer a lifetime warranty as well. 8 inch wheels seem to make sense, there is just something about the FN dish and flat center cap that doesn't appeal to me. I was curious what you thought about the quality now that you received them? I also noticed you mentioned 5" backspace....I thought these would be 4.696....width/2 + .5 +5mm offset (.696). Am I missing something?
"My replica TRD Pro Sema rims arrived (17x8, +5 et, 5" bs)"
Oh would you look at that. I found them. I guess the manufacturer isn't Fast -it's REPLIKA.

The FN Wheels TRD Pro rims have a center bore of 106.2 whereas the Replika rims have a center bore of 106.1.
I think the center bore is exactly 106mm and the bore on the replika rim is 1mm larger so it sounds like I'll need tapered lugs (lug-centric rims). The same goes for the FN Wheels (they aren't exactly hub centric but rather lug centric where you need tapered rims).
Neat, they're sold by a lot of places including 1010 tires.

Is that also a Victory Skid Plate? I can't find it on their site. It looks awesome.
