Bronze wheels ASSEMBLE!!

Yesterday #yeet
Today got the method 701’s and KO2’s on. Aaaand now i apparently need a new tire iron. Suggestions for one that is compatible with the method wheels and lug nuts would be appreciated folks.

 

Looks awesome! Can't wait to see a pick with the truck clean and gleaming. Those wheels will make that green pop!

 

Finally, I joined the club! Fuel Vector 18x9 +20 wrapped in 285/75r18 Nitto RG's. Will post better pics when I pickup the truck. These were sent to me by the shop manager...

 

Happy to join this crowd!!

 

Glad to be a part of this group. Best color out there!

 

Just got my wheels in from Dustin at FN wheels. He was incredible to work with, and he threw in a set of gorilla spline lugs for me as well.

These are the new style BFD wheels he offers. Matte bronze, 18x9, +18 offset. Flow formed and around 23 pounds a wheel. The light in my garage makes the bronze look a little muted, but they are not as bright as some other options out there. Which personally I love.

 

Where do you get these? Do you order direct from FN?

 

Yeah I emailed them, and Dustin responded and answered lots of questions for me via email. I called to actually place the order with him. I had to leave a message, but he called me back same day and we got the order through.

This style isn't for everyone, but I love them, and they weigh a fraction of most wheel options, but are just as strong.

 

These are the gen 1 FN BFD i love the matte bronze over any typical blacked out setup! sorry my first time posting actual pics and not hyperlinks!

 

How about gold??

 

Any rub? Does the +20 make them stick out and if so how far out from the wheel fenders?

 

I was going to go with gold, but they discontinued the ones I wanted

Okay...ReadyLIFT 3/2 Lift Kit, 18x9 +20 off, 285/75r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I rubbed on front stupid flaps...removed, I rubbed on mud flaps...removed AND heat molded a bit and reinstalled, I rubbed on plastic fender liner...cut area right behind fog lights straight across with multi-tool (about two inches removed all the way across). Here's the poke out...love the look.

 

That looks bad ass! I’m in the market for wheels and definitely want to go bronze for my black tundra

 

Do it! I was thinking "black out" and my wife was like "stand out", so here we are!!

 

just bought this a few weeks ago but don’t like the wheels so I sold them and now looking for bronze

 

Awesome looking rig. Some mods already done for you. I went with Fuel Wheels and really liked their bronze selections. Good luck and share pics!

 

Thanks! I definitely share the pics once I update the wheels

 

Will it fit a flat center cap? First gen bfds were offered with a very bulky center cap.

 

I'm not sure, but I'll go out to the garage shortly and try to get a picture of the new center caps he supplies with the wheels. They are different from what I'm told, but I don't have any experience with the first gen.

 

Here are the center caps. They are quite bulky, and I probably won't run them to be honest, but we'll see.

They also come with an optional overly which I don't think I'll run. Maybe if I find a Toyota/TRD style overly I'll run it. Luckily they can be installed/removed with the wheel on the truck, unlike my Level 8 wheels I had on my first gen Tundra.

 

Yeah that's my only complaint about those wheels. I'd run them without the caps as well.

 

Yeah I'm sure that's what I'll do. I like the way they look without them anyway. And I love how light they are for 18" wheels. It'll help offset the heavy ass M/T tires that are going on lol

 

I wonder if the bbs wheel center cap fit in these?

 

Just pulled the trigger on some SCS SR8 in dark bronze +25 and now looking for tires to pair them up with what tires are you guys running with your 18” rims and don’t get any rub or minimal rub?

 

275 70 duratrac

 

Those are on my radar along with falken and ko2
