rmbertoldi- Sorry. My work has kept me totally busy and I just now saw this post. The FN fx Pro from all I've read and heard are a phenomenally well designed and engineered wheel. It's really what the Toyota TRD Pro 7" wheel should have been. Yes. I've absolutely considered it and by all means may still get them. They're a great deal.
The only reason I have the the TRD Pro wheels is that I got a screaming deal for them. It was essentially a swap for the TRD ORP wheels. I totally understand what you're saying about the wheel spacers and I'm sorry about the experience your friend had. But if they're installed w/ the provided thread lock and tightened at the correct torque, there should be no issues. The Spidertrax are in fact engineered for off road racing applications where they take a lot of serious abuse. The issues I've read is when you have shops mess w/ over tightening lug nuts and the studs are stretched to the point where the threads are weakened.
I'm the type that likes to rotate my own tires and will do my own brakes. I'm also meticulous about my torque settings. However, that's not to say my rig will stay this way. I would love to see a comparison between the FN fx wheels and my present setup to see which one has the greater positive wheel offset though.
