    Anyone seen these on Ebay? Am I wrong to consider buying these?

    What would you want to know before buying?

    I deal a lot with various manufacturers (some auto related) and many of the big brands actually manufacture “knock-offs” too so I want to believe these are being made by someone legit and just don’t carry a label. Any thoughts are welcome but I just don’t knownifnincan justify the spend for the BBS rims and I’m very impatient to wait until more find their way to the market.

    It would be cool if they offered different offsets, widths and sizes. Same thing goes for the original pro rims. They are my favorite I just wish you could get them in a different offset.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but the BBS are +60 right?

    These say they are +30 not sure how much of a difference that would make but I think the 18 are different too.

    I know the previous pro rims are +60 as well as most of the rims that Toyota offers for the Tundra. Except for TSS and rock warrior wheels. +30 is a perfect offset in my eyes. At least for what I want.

    About the same as buying Fuel or other aftermarket wheels. Again wouldn’t surprise me if they were made in the same place by one of those companies.

    I also would prefer 18 or 17 inch. Those are nice looking wheels. It would be nice to know a little more about the company.

    The company selling these also offers full sets with tires too for like 1500. They are Falken tires which seem to be pretty cheap but still

    That’s a pretty good deal with tires. Almost worth it to get the whole package.

    My factory Toyota wheels have "made in China" stamped inside them so I don't think these could be much worse. I would give it a shot.

    I’m about to put 5100s, CB shims and +3 shackles on her in the next few weeks. Once that’s done, rims and tires are next.

    I’m going to call the company this week and see if I can get some more information on them and who actually makes them

    +30 should give a little more clearance on the inside of the tire correct? Should sit further towards the street side?

    I get the sense that there’s quite a few that would be happy for me to be the guinea pig on this one.

    Yes. About 30 mm out. Perfect with no flairs.

    Just FYI, a there is a difference between aftermarket wheels and stock if safety is a concern. Aftermarket wheels are not crash tested; Original Equipment wheels from the Manufacturer are crash tested (I am not sure it even matters). Knowledge is power! Most people don't care anyway, though.

    Aftermarket would encompass just about any manifacturer though right? Method, Fuel, XD, etc?

    I’ve seen them on quite a few rides. Nice look but I’m trying to keep it close to stock look. I like the TOYOTA / TRD styling

    You might run across a quality issue, then again you might not but I always side with real over fake.

    I've run plenty of knock offs over the years without issue. Seems even the lower cost manufacturing in China has improved greatly from what it used to be. These are tempting ....

    Personally, I would pass on them. +30 is a good offset to push them out a little and give you a slightly more aggressive stance.
