First of all, a huge thanks to Dustin over at FN Wheels! I've been nagging him for almost a year now about making the 16in Five Stars into a 17in. My dream came true! Here they are, 17x8.5 -6mm offset 4.5" backspacing in matte Bronze. They also come in matte black & anthracite light gunmetal. I love them!!

Hit up Dusin [MENTION=85422]FNWheels[/MENTION] for more info.

Seconded on all fronts. Dustin is a class act and these wheels are KILLER. Here's mine in anthracite gunmetal as a means of comparison to the bronze.

The rims and truck look awesome! Congrats!

I've had my eye on some of the Countersteers for a while. I saw a pic of your truck with some. How did you like them? Still got them?

Also, I really like that design on your rack fairing. Can you provide any details on that and a close up pic if you ever get the time?

Don't mean to bombard you with questions! haha

***Nevermind, I found your build thread.***

No worries, ask away!

The countersteers are great! I love the -10 offset. I tend to get bored with my wheels lol, I got those a couple sets ago, and then the Six shooters came out. If you want an aggressive wheel, I would look into those. The size is perfect (17x9 0 offset).

For the fairing, if you didn't find it in my thread. It's just covered in stickers and then I used a UV flat clear spray paint over it.
 
Looks fantastic - I just picked up a set of BFDs from Dustin, and I cant speak highly enough of his customer service, and communication. Fit and finish of the wheels is obviously top notch as well.

Love the 5-Stars/ would have loved to have known they were coming out with a 17" option!

Thank you all for the positive feedback and kind words. We spent a lot of time gathering input from Toyota owners to develop the 17" Five Star, with the majority of that input coming from T4R.org members. We're glad that everyone is happy with the result!

[MENTION=85422]FNWheels[/MENTION] - how would I go about ordering some in gunmetal. I don't see any listed on your website yet. Thanks.
 
They look awesome! I am moving up from my 3rd gen to a 5th next month, and was hoping my 16" volks would fit, but these look like a great alternative.

Thanks [MENTION=101352]harkco[/MENTION] ! The best way to order right now would be to call us at (951)735-1100 or e-mail [email protected]. We're in the process of upgrading our shopping cart / online store over the course of the next week, so the new wheels won't be added to the site until then.

Thanks [MENTION=14008]Greedy[/MENTION] ! Unfortunately your 16" wheels won't clear the brakes on a 5th Gen 4Runner (no 16" wheels fit), since the 5th Gen requires a minimum of 17" diameter. The 17" Five Stars do fit perfectly. :)
 
Well F*ck me, I was JUST looking at FN Wheels website yesterday thinking, damn if only they made the 5 star in 17"s I would almost have to order them. It's like a dream come true.

These are FANTASTIC looking, I imagine I will be ordering a set in bronze hopefully in the near future.
 
How to reason with wife that I need ANOTHER set of wheels...:drum:

These five star are great looking. [MENTION=50186]adio3x[/MENTION] what lug nuts are those?

They're muteki sr48 burning blue neon extended lugs. I've had a set on every wheel, they rock. Only bad thing is you have to order 2 sets to get the extra 4 lugs haha.
