"Sir Toyota has these wheels on stop sale with no release date. Sorry for any incovience this has caused."

I saw a guy on another forum selling them for $1600!

Plasti-dip to the rescue?

No kidding, right. Plasti-dip is cheap, but if you want a more permanent solution, it costs about $75/wheel to have professionally powdercoated. If the black ones are really out of reach, getting the gray ones and getting them PC'ed is very possible.
 
New TRD Pro Wheels Finally Mounted

Finally got them mounted this morning and had a chance to make a quick run into the mountains over lunch (so I could have some alone time in the forest with the new hotness :)

Need to measure the distance from the fender to the tire sidewall, but with 285s on 'em the tires are pretty darn close to where they were with the old TRD wheels.

They look really good!

Since you gave us a backspace measurement of 4.25" on the black ones, if you still have the OEM wheels can you measure the backspace on them?

Thx!
 
... I contacted the parts department at my local Toyota dealership yesterday and asked if they could get me a set. ....
.... I figured I was just out of luck, but the parts manager called me back this morning and said that he'd located a set and that he could have them at the dealership for me on Monday.

I'm definitely not counting any chickens until they hatch, but I'll post an update on Monday to let everybody know what happens...

Since we are close in geographic location, I hope the same wheels I was told are available aren't the same wheels you were told are available! :wow:

Hope we each get a set!

Haha yep me too! Let's definitely post up in this thread next week if we get them. Good luck!
 
Well,

I had an order submitted with the dealer I purchased from

Then got the dreaded call today.

Order was kicked back. No sales allowed to anyone without a TRD Pro VIN, and even then, you would need an explanation as to why you were ordering another set, i.e. stolen, which puts the dealership at risk in an audit.

My parts guy said he did everything he could to try and get them, and called Toyota directly and got that explanation.


Hopefully Toyota gets their heads out of their ass and realizes they will make a killing if they offer them up.

Congrats to the 2 lucky SOB's who got them!

Toyota had pretty much the same policy for the FJ Trail Team black wheels, which is why I took the chance a jumped in right away before toyota would catch on.
 
If you were speaking of the 2013 FJTT Black Wheels with the fake beadlocks, I needed my VIN to get a extra set. If they were ever released to the GP, I don't know.

Correct both the fake beadlocks (2010) and the 2008 trail teams wheels.
 
Looks great! Are u running spacers?

Thanks! No spacers, just 285 rubber on the 7" rims.

For reference, the sidewall of the front tire is 15mm inside of the fender trim (tires @ 44 psi), which is exactly what I measured with the same tires on the old TRD beadlock rims.

Check out the Tire Fitment Guide [MENTION=66316]1engineer[/MENTION] put together -- BS of the stock 2010 TE wheel is in the chart and here's the link to my post on the measurement pic. Since I too get frustrated with having little nuggets of data spread around the forum and interwebz (that, and it took me forever to find where I'd posted the info in the first place!!!), I'll spare the suspense and tell you it's 4.875" :)

Also, since I didn't find it easily accessible in other threads, the backspacing on the 17x7.5" TRD Beadlock Style wheels is 4.5".
