So like everyone else has been asking... where can we order these FN wheels?
:attention:
And why aren't they on the FN website?

I like em...... The board member who does the TRD center cap stickers has them available in black right???? If so I may be pulling the trigger.
Caution
Google the Part Number: ptr18-35092 and you'll see these for sale on Amazon among other places for about $15 ea. plus shipping etc. On Amazon, there are photos of the backside.
**You should note that these style center caps can be problematic. I had an '08 FJ with the 20" BBS wheels, same style center cap consisting of mostly plastic, with plastic tabs around the perimeter which hold the cap in place via a c-clip that pushes outward against the tabs towards the inner diameter of the wheel hub.
I can't tell you how many of these failed on my BBS wheels but it was a bunch. I was replacing one every month or two, on different wheels because the plastic tabs kept breaking off and then the cap would fall out on the road...
The BBS's were beautiful and well balanced. A few were replaced under warranty, then I bought a bunch more. It sucks to be walking up to your cool looking ride, admiring your really expensive wheels and tires and then go "Crap, where's my center cap!"...
Not trying to discourage anyone, just sharing my experience. Hopefully nobody else will have this issue.

Looks great! Do you plan on adding sliders? I thought about it, but I almost like this look with no running boards, sliders, etc...
Here's mine....

I have to say those look killer!!! The finish looks a lot nicer than the OE wheel as it has a nice sheen to it and the TRD cap kills it. Cheaper, easier to get, wider, lighter, more and better finishes. What's not to like about these FN copies?

I paid less than that for my genuine Graphite TRD rims in December '14. Wow why are these FN wheels (which look great) so pricey?

These are 8" wide vs the OEM ones which are 7". Also ive heard that the FN Wheels are lighter but I havent seen any details on that, just what Ive read...
They are lighter AND offset...so the wheels have a wider stance which is more aggressive. Last time I checked those OEM trd wheels were $225 a wheel. FNs price is very fair considering you are getting a better wheel...and considering you can't even get the OEM wheels now.

FN wheel better than OEM? Thats all opinion. By the way my OEM TRD wheels have a beautiful offset. Just enough so I don't need spacers with my 34 inch tires. (305/70/17 Goodyear MTR's) Maybe if I ever decided to go to 35's id think more about the FN wheel but since I know that will never happen for many reasons, my opinion is the OEM TRD rims are better for my set up. I love the stance they give. I don't like the look that some spacers give where the wheels stick out so far. Not saying the FN wheels do that but if I am getting the exact stance I want without spacers running the tire size I want why would I pay MORE for the FN wheel over the OEM TRD?

Question. Has someone weighed these wheels compared to the TRD wheel? I keep seeing people say this, but have yet to see numbers. Also, with a different offset and width I could see some Toyota dealerships using this as a way to deny warranty, rightfully or otherwise.
