Icon or Fn wheels

Hey guys, I’m needing some input on 3 wheel choices I’ve narrowed down to. The wheels are Icon speed 17” in satin, Icon redound 17” in titanium and the FN BFD 18” in matte black. I know the fn is 18” but I’m alright with that. I always hate these kind of Decisions.

 

Icon Rebounds are my choice!!

 

I wanted Fn wheels but they’re backed up on having wheels on hand. SCS wheels is a good choice too but I wanted FN wheels because they have the lightest 18” wheel.

 

I’ve heard that they are very lite wheels. Even more than stock ones.

 

Yes, I believe 20 or 21lbs

 

If you want light go FN.
if you want fitment for Icon.
If you want fitment and style go SCS!

I like FN’s. I’ve had them. They were great. Only gripe was that they stuck out a lil too much for me. They fling too much stuff on the sides of my truck.

 

What do you mean by fitment? As in they don’t fit right up. I’ve read that there is a hub ring sometimes you need to put on. Well I like style and fitment. I thought that the FN were priced good too

 

Icon Rebounds.

 

Love my FNs that were on my 07. Fitment was great. Offset perfect. The BFD's will be on my 14 as soon as I can get two more to complete my set. The only thing holding me up to complete my lift.

 

Fn’s are nice looking, but you can’t argue with 17’s

 

they stick out a little because they are a +12 offset where SCS is +25 which lines up the tires right at the fender.

 

Icon rebounds

 

FN's. The end

 

How do you like the Ray10's compared to FN's?

 

I like the Icon Speed ... but ya' know, whatever

 

FN also makes the FX PROS

 

I do like those FX pros!!! From what I’m gathering is that the FN’s are maybe on back order. Just might have to be a waiting game.

 

I know the tires are going to be cheaper.

 

Pending on which color. I was able to get a set of FN FX Pros "Gunmetal Gray" (17x8) on Dec 5th. for my wife's Lexus GX470.
Dustin is awesome to deal with. I also picked up some Falken Wild Peak AT3w 265.70r17 tires to wrap around those sweet azz rims!

She's hating it, As it's a Christmas gift.


O.S.T.

 

I more than likely would go with black but the gunmetal gray looks sick. Kind of a switch up in colors. What color of Lexus are they going on? That is true, ‘tis the season for new shoes!

 

I had 18" FN's on my Taco. The gunmetal gray finish was a work of art. Has a little flake in the finish that shows in the light. Whomever FN has powdercoating their wheels is the best I've seen. Way better job than the forged alloys on my car.

 

I think the black is more of a flat than satin or gloss. Might look Kidd’s cool on white.

 

I picked up this 2006 Lexus GX470 with only 56,000 miles on the clock about 3 years ago for my wife. (for a really, really great price) She has some black rims on her everyday whip which is a Tacoma. We wanted something other than Black since everyone has Black rims it seems like.


O.S.T.

 

Wow! What a rare find and at a good price too

Even though I like the look of black rims, I agree with your comment on black rims. Never had matte finish on rims before, but I'd imagine its hard to clean brake dust off. Maybe some matte rim owners can help with my curiosity.....

 

I have black XD Heist c/c rims. I don't drive this rig much. Even If you don't drive much and truck is outside, regardless of color. They will get dirty! lol

These are the ones for my wife's Whip. Truly rare find for the Lexus. Even better, The couple I knew very well and they babied the Lexus. Not to mention, they were a very "young' married couple in their 80's!!!!



O.S.T.
