FN BFD picture thread.

what lift are you running? Any rubbing? That’s the same size tire I’m planning on

 

I have the Eibach 2.0 coilovers for 2” in front and AAL for 1.5” in the rear. The only rub I have is the occasional very minor scrub on my mudflaps when turning. That and my front liner has been cut and pushed forward previously so not sure if it would have rubbed there.

 

Pick up the wheels from Dustin at FN Wheels. He is a great and honest guy. Glad I was able to give him my business.

 

Is anyone else interested in a different center cap option for these? I’m exploring some better looking lower profile center caps that will work with the BFDs. The caps don’t need to be even half as tall and bulky as the ones provided are to clear the hub dust covers. I think the 3 mounting screw hole setup may be somewhat universal for 5x150 wheels. I have some different ones coming in to try and I’ll report back.

 

I’ve modified Black Rhino caps to work with the BFDs. I may do something else yet with a custom vinyl sticker on the cap or try to color match the Graphite gunmetallic. Overall I love the look with the lower profile caps. It looks more finished than running no cap, and more streamlined than with the provided caps.

@FNWheels do you know of any rattle can paints that are a similar shade to your graphite gunmetallic?

 

These look good on anything imo

 

Very nice! What color are they?

 

I think it’s hyper silver.

 

Thanks. I was looking at these a few days ago on their site and that color looked darker.

I like that they are actually lighter silver.

 

It’s very hard to find anything in 5x150 that isn’t black or bronze or 0 offset. It was between these and fuel hypes or method 321s. That’s about all there is in a lighter machined or silver

 

Yeah true. I'm also looking at the agp pro22.

My main concern with those are that they are heavier and it's a new company. I wonder if wheels are inspected at the ports to make sure safety certs are real.

Still relatively lightweight. I think the stock wheels run 42 lbs

 

What size tires you running, and what kind of lift?

Hi @Silver17

I'm sorry I missed your post from so long ago.

Thank you for your feedback on the caps. The intention behind the height of the cap was to offer a cap that also fits over Landcruiser 100 hubs which are substantially taller than Tundra hubs.



I agree with you that a lower profile cap would definitely look a little bit better on the Tundra. Many customers (myself included) also prefer to leave the caps off altogether and just clean up the hubs/axle grease caps.

I'll see if we can't come up with a lower profile option for you guys. It would take a few months for us to get a new center cap mold produced, but let me see what I can do.

As for a rattle can color - Our graphite gunmetal is a propriety color that isn't available off the shelf, but the color is very similar to Toyota's magnetic grey metallic. Shoot me a direct message, call me at (951)735-1100 or text my cell (714)390-9387 and we can discuss further.

Looks great! Thank you!

Glad you like it.

Our hyper silver color is pretty bright:

I don't believe any safety certifications are being inspected at the ports. Product liability falls on the importer of record. That should, in theory, keep most companies honest, but if the company obscures all of their information you wouldn't know who the actual importer is should there be a problem with the product.

This is why it's important to buy from reputable companies. Anyone can start a fly by night operation. It especially raises a red flag for me when a company doesn't even list a phone number. If such a company sold a batch of faulty products they could fold up and their customers would have a heck of a time trying to find them.
