Seriously, though... I always thought the black steel wheels were considered the cheap wheels. You guys have me re-thinking that. I am starting to really dig the black wheel look, I just never saw it 'til I came here.
And, yes, "follow the leader" might have been a bit harsh.
And, yes, I plan on following you guys' lead. I love your FJs!
I have both the aluminum and black steel. I run the sleelies spring to fall with BFG Mud Terrains for wheelin and the aluminum during the winter with snow tires. Best of both worlds.
I have the alloys and a set of steelies. If I'm offroading I run the steelies. As has been said, bend them and beat them back out!
cheers,
dale

To be continued...
I personally like these (pro-comp) wheels. Not totally black, so you can see visible transition between wheel and tire. And no tiny shiny nuts, bolts and screws.
What is that all about anyway?
Have you posted pics of your other/previous FJs anywhere on this board before? Interested to see them.
I'll have to dig for some of the older ones ( not digital, so prints are in a box in the basement), So not to highjack the thread, I'll post the most recent (1979 FJ40) in my member gallery.
Thanks for asking...It will cause me to go dig out the older ones.

I have a complete set of O.E.M. Black Steel Rims and tires coming off of my new FJ Cruiser.
I am looking to off-load them to someone who is interested... I have them listed on EBAY if there are serious folks interested.
I will take $950.00 for the set of five
Local in Las Vegas... Be available next week by Thursday... I ordered some Pro-Comp Wheels and BFG KM2 tires...

I come from Jeep land and have never heard of this. It seems like you guys are all about and only about black wheels. What's up with that? Is it an FJ thing? Or, is it something that someone here at this forum started and you guys are all playing follow the leader? It sure isn't a Jeep thing!
Just curious.
SIMPLE REALLY.... Black shows no BRAKE DUST !... ...
(or any other dirty stuff that may be around)
black wheels are a nice look and easy to keep clean.

i on the otherhand, is reminded of F1 rims (except theyre carbon fiber instead of steal) plus its a classic look while chrome, spinning things (i dont know what you call them but was fashionable 2-3yrs ago), gold plated stuff will come and go.
