I'm hoping if all else fails I can still purchase them new, but availability may still be difficult from what I hear. Not in a big hurry to get them..... yet. These things are unicorns that's for sure.
If they are like the Tundra version, they were discontinued a year or so ago. They were around $3-- something per wheel new and just a couple of days ago I saw an add for a set of four in so so shape for almost $600 per wheel. Crazy expensive now along with being rare.
Yeah I heard they might have been discontinued recently. $310 per wheel is the cheapest I can find new if they are even available. Guess I should confirm new availability with some of the vendors...
Toyota of Cool Springs was the cheapest I could find when I was looking at them for the Tundra. I was almost ready to order and the price jumped, dropped a bit, and then jumped again and that's when the discontinued notice came out. The used ones I found were almost the same price as new and some of the wheels were in rough shape. I'm looking at a set of the 16" Icon Six Speeds now.
So TRDParts4U says they are available, but Toyota Parts Olathe says I would need to supply an applicable VIN and can only purchase one at a time. So I still might be able to get them from TRDParts4U
That's another reason why I like them. They stick in quite a bit like stock (+6mm offset) so if/when I go LT it will look more stealth. With measurement help from Kai I think I can get by running 35's without wheel spacers on stock spindles (no gussets). Plus my rear end will be extra wide so I'm fine there.

More sensible plan B is to buy Level 8 MK6 17x8 0 offset for about $500 for 5 and just be done with it. They provide the same backspacing I'm looking for but without the beadlock face.
Plan B has been enacted (see highly detailed sequence above). That said, if you are looking to unload a set of 6 lug TRD RR wheels, hit me up. :bigthumb:
At this point I think I'd rather wait and get the set that is designed for my vehicle. No headaches that way! (and running 5 lug just feels wrong) Plus I'm still not 100% on what backspacing I need with my future setup so I got the 5 Level 8 MK6's for $490 to my door. I'll get them on, finalize my setup and go from there.
Dang! Rape job! I just called my local dealer and my cost it $360/wheel through them. He said he doesn't have any wiggle room on cost, retail is $399.60. Says there's 4 in Kansas warehouse. Yikes! Sometimes I can get a better deal but this case, no cigar. He also didn't have any take-offs. Sorry, buddy.
I'm looking at a set of Level 8s right now for my Tacoma. They were discontinued but a few vendors still have the Tracker Pro Lock in 16X8.5, so I'll probably buy 5 just in case I destroy one.
Yeah unfortunately these people do not realize what wheels they have. I was using the wrong search terms. I drove right thru this town this weekend. Its been two days and they haven't replied to my emails. This sucks. :lol:
Up for grabs is a stupid rare full set of 5 of the following: 5x TRD Rock Warrior 6 lug wheels 17x7.5 6mm offset and only weighing 27lbs each (For more info on these wheels see this awesome thread on TW Selecting a light weight wheel/tire combo (TRD Rock Warriors & KO2s)) 5x BFGoodrich KM3...
Good find. I think he is overplaying their rarity a bit lol. I since purchased a new set of wheels. Somebody else on here needs these though!
