the 16" FJ TRD rims in your avatar are 7.5", no?I know I'm going against the grain here, but I would have no qualms with 285s on a 7". I've used and abused multiple sets of 285s and 315s on 7" rims without issue. Balancing, alignment was never an issue and I actually enjoyed the sidewall protection of the rim.
That being said I was happy to get them on a 7.5", but would I run it again? Absolutely.

I called to order these wheels and the dealer who I ordered my 4runner through said these wheels are $399 a piece. No thanks, I'll keep looking. He also wanted almost $300 a tire for BFG ATs. Friggin' dealers!
Actually, I've only seen the gray wheels listed. Is the black version even out? I emailed a few TRD online dealers to see what they had to say.
I really, really, would like to avoid running a 8" wide wheel and no way will I run a 9" wide wheel. I like the fact that these are 7".
according to what's been published, the black TRD wheels should be available for purchase too—once the Pro comes out his fall.The grey wheels are the only version available for purchase separately. The black versions are limited to the TRD Pro 4runner.

and tell him he can either make some money selling you the wheels you want at a fair, competitive price or he can make no money selling you nothing at all.
When you called the dealer, what did you ask for? If you asked for the "gray TRD wheels", they might have assumed you wanted the older TRD wheels with the beadlock design. IIRC, those actually do run around $400 each. Just a thought....
i'm pretty certain that the reason you can't find info on the black TRD Pro wheels is that they won't be available until after the TRD Pro model itself is released. but after that point they will—like the rest of the bolt-on TRD Pro parts—be available à la carte.^^^That's what I was afraid of. That the black wheels would be exclusive to the TRD Pro 4Runner and not available separately. I'm still looking though.
Yeah, maybe I should do that. I probably will. Problem is I want the black wheels, not the grey. I can't find the black wheels with a price listed online.
Maybe that's what he was thinking of. However, I gave him the exact part # for the black wheels and I specified "black TRD wheels". I may call them again next week.
So, does anybody have a link for the black wheels?
