I saw a guy on another forum selling them for $1600!
Plasti-dip to the rescue?
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.
... 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!
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.

And those were never released?
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.
Looks great! Are u running spacers?

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?
