FN f(x) Pro Wheels – Custom Coating

[barryhiram]

I too, have an awesome customer service story with Dustin at FN wheels, but I never had to deal with multiple issues with my wheels in the process like you did. I love SCS wheels and their prices are great & perhaps they too have wonderful customer service but this is quite an exceptional story that you have... And IMO it should give FN more business because of it. Everyone makes products now a days... But exceptional customer service and peace of mind help me reach into my pockets when buying things.

Keep up the great work Dustin!

Dustin went above and beyond to make it right for me, I greatly appreciate his efforts.

I'll second Dustin's excellent customer service!! Wheels look awesome.

Agree 100%

Thanks!

 

[barryhiram]

Wow. Those look great. Almost shadow chrome looking. Any idea on what you're going to do about the center cap? You could just paint the hub black and leave it off, or maybe go with the black TRD center cap

Thanks man!

Oh yah, have a set of Toyota TRD center caps at a shop right now. Don't want to spill the beans yet, but will in the coming week.

 

[barryhiram]

Those are beautiful [emoji41] Nice to hear they are still making them. I to, went to their web site and did not find them, sent an email and never got a response. Just assumed they weren't making them anymore. I look toward to seeing a pic of those beauties mounted up [emoji12]

Thanks man!

Definitely give Dustin a call, I'm sure they get blasted with emails. It's crazy, he orders 40 sets at a time, and they're usually sold out before they arrive.........and that's without advertising.

 

[barryhiram]

Very nice! Can't wait to see those mounted on your T4R.

Dustin, that is some awesome custom service and attention to detail!

Thanks, and me too!

 

[barryhiram]

wow. way to keep on keepin' on until you found a way to get exactly what you wanted! Dustin is good people for sure.

Thanks, and I second he's good people!

the finished product is super unique. reminds me a lot of this:

Lol, too funny! Hope they last as long, warranty is 5 year/100,000 mile

 

[barryhiram]

Not a fan of TRD wheels (real or replica) or chrome but sounds like a great person to deal with

Wow, 11th post before someone stated dislike for chrome.............would have thought it would have been sooner :lol:

Technically they are not chrome, they're powder coat. It's all good, I appreciate your opinion.

 

[barryhiram]

I would definitely recommend those "machined looking" TRD center caps. These would look great.

Have a set, thanks. Just looking for something a little different.............I have a plan

Here's a sample of what that cap would look like, curtesy of Dustin

Dustin [MENTION=85422]FNWheels[/MENTION] is the man. Great person to do business with and they have a great product.

Absolutely agree

 

[barryhiram]

Wow! Those look amazing. I am not a fan of chrome either (only because of the maintenance and corrosion issues) but that might have be the best alternatives I have seen. I once saw a set of wheels that were powder coated chrome but after time it dulled and looked more like a polished wheel no matter how much he scrubbed and polished those wheels.

Thanks man. These are a different process and are warrantied for 5 years/100,000 miles.

I also just had a great experience with Dustin. I ordered a set of Gunmetal wheels for my black T4R (I also am tired of seeing black wheels on everything & thought I would try a contrasting color) and he walked me through every step of the way. He showed me all of the color options, asked lots of questions and in the end, I kept coming back to a set of the TRD wheels. Those TRD wheels are hard to get and keep in stock. After waiting a couple of months, I should see them on Tuesday of this week. I will post pictures after they are mounted. He is definitely different than any other person I have dealt with when making a wheel purchase and believe me, I have purchased a lot of wheels.

Glad you had the same experience, Dustin is great to work with. Please post pics when mounted, would love to see them.

I like reading about excellent customer service. Of course, this isn't the only good feedback I've heard about fn wheels.
When it's time for wheels, I know where I'll order from.

Those look really nice. Great job getting exactly what you wanted-- and knowing the QC is top notch gives a lot of satisfaction in ordering something custom.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you sir!

 

[barryhiram]

I am excited to se these posted. They remind me of a Terminator movie.

Me too, thanks

 

[barryhiram]

You'll love the FN wheels! I got mine almost a year ago already and love the fact that they provide a unique look for "Lucille" (my 4R's name)!!!

I was busy so I was late lol.....

Did you even read the post? Not being rude, just saying... This entire post is about how the OP loves the OEM TRD wheels but they weren't wide enough or in the color he wanted.

Yes, I did, but apparently missed the one sentence where he said that in the long post. My apologies. I did catch the added width. And all the talk of customer service and the initial finish issues.

I came across way too rude & harsh man, I apologize. I said "not trying to be rude" and I still think I was rude. Glad you read most of it! Cheers mate

Check out helios coatings for matching centercaps. I developed the process they use for matching the caps to their PVD wheels back in 07.

I absolutely hate chrome but I'm definitely digging these Six Shooters like that.
