SCS wheels or TRD Pro wheels?

Here’s mine on 33” with Kings 2.5” lift with PRO wheels no issues airing down or up rubbing etc etc but as someone above said get the ones that make you happy.

I seriously love the Trail/OR wheels so much. I think they're the best looking out of all the stock wheels, and I consider putting them back on over my SCS wheels regularly. The offset just sucks.
 
I like the look of my Pro wheels just don’t care for cleaning them. The matte black are hard to clean. I had SCS on my Tacoma. If I ever decide to switch it up I will be going back to them. Maybe in the black F5’s.
 
I honestly love the TRD wheels. I have a black TRD ORP that I’m blacking out and those wheels would looks amazing on my truck. My stock wheels are really nice though.
 
And another note, the stock TRD Off-road wheels are 7.5" wide and the TRD-Pro (also an option on the TRD Off-road now) are 7".

Also another thing to consider, the SCS wheels are hub-centric (better) and are lighter than stock TRD Off-road wheels by 4.5 lbs a piece. Not sure what the weight is for the TRD wheels. Wheel weight makes a big difference (Google "unsprung weight"). KMC's are heavy.

I bought a set of the Pros on the 40% off sale. I really like the look of them, but since getting them I've been dragging my feet deciding on tires, and during that time my stock 13 Trail phone dial wheels are really growing on me.

Anyway, I put one the of the TRD wheels on my bathroom scale, and it was 25.4lbs. Not sure how that compares to the other wheels talked about here,

Those graphix are sick!!! Are they custom, or did you order them from somewhere?

A SCS F5 17x8.5 weighs 21 lbs. 11oz. The Ray 10 in the same size weighs 24 lbs. 10oz.
 
I too hate the OR wheels. I want SCS Ray10s or F5s something fierce.. and the new 17x9 just makes it even better. AND they now come in blue! So gorgeous.

BTW I'm sporting 285s on my OR wheels with just a bilstein 5100 lift (2.5") with a daystar 1.5" rear spacer. Also spidertrax wheel spacers. Haven't done a BMC yet (not sure I need to) but did have to trim the front bumper and used a heat gun to mold my fenders out of the way.

I will be moving to SCS or Black Rhino wheels should I decide to keep the 4Runner around longer than anticipated. That said, the TRD Pro wheels that came on our Pro look good and have done well with the 275's that have been on there there the past 20K miles. I have aired down to 15 psi many times with no issues and I have never rubbed.
 
I really like the design of the Pro wheels and I never had a problem on airing down with my old 4Runner with 285’s and factory 16x7 wheels. The offset on the Pro wheel will also probably preclude you from doing a BMC with the right alignment and caster. I do like the SCS Ray 10’s, but, I would have to paint all the cubic zirconium’s going around the rim black.


That is exactly what I did. Pulled the fake chrome bolts, ordered some SS button heads from MsMaster Carr, then sent them off to PCbolts.com to be black powder coated. Looks much better IMO. Plus even chrome will get surface rust, I have seen several other wheels with rust drips around the bolts

I like the look, being different, offset, weight and width for improved sidewall support for road driving. I think a lot of people overlook the weight, add a heavy tire and things like handling, gas mileage, acceleration and braking are greatly impacted. Going with Rays 10 and 265 AT3W Wildpeaks SLs I lost 2lbs per wheel over the stock ORP wheels and tires. A win win

I did get rubbing. Fender mod, removed factory mud flaps and replaced with Rally Armor. Driver side still barley rubs at full lock, but no lift yet. 7.5 width (gunmetal)

I went from the Pro wheels on 275/70 KO2s to the 17x8.5 -10mm SCS Ray 10s on 285/70 Ridge Grapplers and have had no regrets. The hardest part is getting the SCS wheels, so good luck!
