So after weeks of delibiration hindered by my indecisive nature, I finally pulled the trigger on some new shoes. Just got these GFX's, 18 x 8.5 with a +18 mm offset.

They're not EXACTLY what I wanted but it became obvious that there was no such thing. They were a good price and they got about 4 out of the 5 things I wanted in a wheel. I love the flat inner profile, looks almost like a fat motorcycle wheel and you can see clear through the wheel. Surely not everyones taste but I dig em and SWB with black is just pure sickness.

Ur right they're def not everyone's flavor, I personally don't like how they concave out from the lip to the middle of the center cap. Would look much better flat faced.

Well it seems like ur pretty happy with them and like u said that's all that matters. Congrats bro

I actually kinda like them, not so much for your application, but I could see those on other vehicles... Kudos on your purchase sir. :top:

lol....pretty much the responses I expected but I appreciate and respect the honesty. You guys gotta keep in mind that when compared to the "typical" x-runner owner (if there is such a thing) I'm a lil uhh.....different.

This is really my first non old school, non V8 powered, "modern" vehicle and I'm a borderline redneck, metalhead, biker dude. So my tatse may be a lil different. I wanted a wheel that looked like a TRUCK wheel, whereas alot of you guys run wheels that are more sports car/import styled.

Just a thought, but if you may want to put more black on the truck in various places. Otherwise your wheels are going to be the focal point because they are the only things black. Just an opinion.

If you like those, discount has started carrying Replica wheels, one of which is a remake of the torque thrust and come in black, chrome or gun metal for our trucks. I considered em but I don't like the chrome lip.

I agree, hence the black pinstripes, black grille, BHLM, black tails and black hood scoop I'm runnin. lol...did you look at the pics bro?

I had steve do a photo shop if similar wheels whith a blue ring behind the center of the wheel. Looked a lil ricey imo but maybe the center cap wouldn't look so bad. Definitely gonna do the brake caliper and possibly the drums as they need paint bad.
