[EIGHTEENs] FN Wheels BFD

[nosamk]

I just received and installed a set of FN Wheels BFDs from Dustin @ FN. I first saw these on [MENTION=31277]chitown4x4[/MENTION] 's build and was immediately in love with them. I spoke to Dustin [a very patient guy!!] many times via email trying to figure out what I wanted to get for summer wheels as I was a bit torn between BFDs and Six Shooters [17"]. I ended up going with BFDs and am so happy i did.

The wheels arrived double boxed and looking awesome. I am in awe of how light they are - significantly moreso than my Black Rock Yumas. The finish on them is beautiful and they looked even better than I imagined once mounted up. In fact they feel maybe the slightest bit LIGHTER than my Yuma/Blizzak combo.

I wouldnt hesitate one second to deal with Dustin and FN again as I am super happy with the entire process.

These are 18x9 0 offset.
I am NOT running spidertrax

Tires are Toyo Open Country AT II xtreme 285/65R18

I run these exact wheels on my '14 GX and I second the nod to Dustin @ FN - super easy to deal with, no issues or hassle at all.

 

[chitown4x4]

Those Look sick!!! I love My BFD's and run them on both of my trucks currently!!!! Opinion is that they are the best looking wheel offered currently for our Toyotas!

 

[thebwlife]

I wish they offered them in 8" wide...but that's no 18" rim I've seen.

 

[cbielat]

Nice choice. I run the Countersteers from them in the summer, fall, winter and spring lol.

 

[Dan0280]

Looks awesome. I was also inspired by chitown4x4 pics.

Dustin called me today to confirm my shipping address for my BFDs. Dustin and FN have been great answering my dumb questions. I plan on mounting Goodyear AT Adventures with Kevlar in a 275/65/18. Although this new setup will be larger in all dimensions, it will be about 4-5lbs lighter per wheel than my stockers.

A) You're truck looks awesome

B) Thank you for not getting Level 8 Wheels and Duratracs

 

[nosamk]

KVA: yeah, Dustin is awesome

chitown: thanks man, I'm loving them

theb: why 8"

cb: those were also a contender in my decision!

Dan: awesome!! cant wait to see your pics

N2G: thanks... :rofl:

 

[superwhite]

Those are rad!!!

 

[chitown4x4]

Hope to see pics soon.. Wanted to see what the adventures looked like on the bfd!

 

[Dan0280]

Could be a couple weeks before any pics. I got the wheels today, but have to wait a few days to get the matching center caps. Also trying to find a shop to do the work (harvest TPMS to new wheels, mount/balance/align, plus bilstein 5100s).

I'm moving fast for me. It took me 42 years to get the truck! Only 4 months to decide what to do with it.

 

[chitown4x4]

Same here!

Bilstein's at .85 with Goodyear Adventures w/Kevlar 275-65-18 on FN BFD's. Thanks Chitown4x4 Joe, Dustin at FN and T4R.

Got mines last week. Getting tires tomorrow. Dustin is the man!

 

[FrontRange4Runner]

Looking awesome!

 

[nvr2mny]

I ordered mine yesterday along with the tires from Tire Rack. The tires showed up today BUT the wheels not for a week or two....

 

[F1scher]

I know this is an older thread, but thought I would post up some pics!

New 18x9 FN BFDs in Graphite went on today! Tires are 275/65/18 E Rated Duratracs from a previous truck, maybe 8k miles on them.

Dustin [MENTION=85422]FNWheels[/MENTION] is fantastic to work with; first class guy, and great customer service all around. Pulled the trigger last Monday, wheels were shipped within 2-3 hours, and they arrive from CA --> by Friday.

Stock suspension (for now!), but I have about 400 lbs worth of stuff in the back so its a little saggy looking.

Apologies on the shoddy pictures - full sunlight, and only had a moment to take a few phone pics before running back into work.

 

[CaliTE]

All those 18" BFD's look awesome on the 14 Runner. Another nod to Dustin who I dealt with when I bought my Countersteers. He was a please to deal with, very quick to respond and very helpful. I'm glad that there are great products being represented by great people on this forum. Thanks again Dustin.

 

[F1scher]

Couple "slightly" better pictures...

^^^ Any rubbing with that size 275/65/18 on stock suspension? Truck looks amazing.
