I'm looking for an on-line source for some 17" gun metal or maybe black rock crawler rims for an 03.

Anyone have any suggestions? I've checked the usual suspects and found only chrome.

from jaos web site Victron Super Ziga
Size: 17"x7.0" ~ 18"x9.5"
Bolt pattern: 5 x 150mm/6 x 139.7mm


ill keep looking around to see what there is but your going to be very limited with the 17" wheel

i read in an offroad magazine that rockcrawler does make a 17 inch rim, but just doesnt advertise it. i think you might have to contact them directly.

 

Woodbert, try running a search @ www.tirerack.com they have a good amount of wheels and MAY have what your looking for.

 

I had tried tirerack and tires.com but notta.

I'm going to scout around locally tomorrow and see what I can find. I know they will cost a fortune here.

 

I've been looking since impulsebrklyn posted the pic and I haven't found jack either.
Those JAOS rims are nice, but REALLY expensive, I wonder how long a powercoat would last on a wheel anyway.

I've found some nice wheels, but they all seem to be 20"+.

 

Volk Racing makes some 17" gunmetal 6-bolt rims that look reeeeeeeeeaaal nice, but they will run you (I think) something like $2k.

 

I believe you're talking about the Volk TE37s. Someone posted a pic of a Runner on them a while ago. They're very light for their size, but also very expensive.

 

I know this isnt what youre looking to do, but what about getting the chrome rims, (hang on a sec... I know you dont want chrome) and having a black pearl shot over them? If the rims were "scuffed" with say 800 grit, then top coated with the black pearl, what do you think those would look like? I was thinking about doing this with my chrome rims, but got such a good deal on the factory aluminums.... I couldnt pass em up.

I may still do this... all I'd need is the paint.

 

i was also on a search for a gunmetal colored rims for my prerunner but came up empty.

the closest thing i found was from the nissan frontier truck.
I like em', not sure if it'll fit my truck.
they do look like 17" rims.

Those are close to what I'm looking for. I like the way those rock crawlers look on Bob_98SR5's Buddy's X-terra on the Pismo 4RJ site.

1Runner- Thanks for the idea. I'm going to look around here today and see if I can come up with anything.

 

Praufet - Yep those are it. I think they are actually made by Rays.

Another suggestion in the same vein as 1Runner suggested, how about getting a chrome rim and having it powdercoated? It would be much more durable than black-pearl finishing and look almost identical. They did this to a set on American Choppers a while back and they came out REAL nice. Just a thought...

 

It has both the names of Volk and Rays Engineering on the wheel. It may be made by Rays and sold by Volk. They're a very popular wheel for race cars in japan. Many cars from them GT500, GT300, and cars running the Tsuba cricuit use them. Just fyi.

 

Look at 1010 Tires. I did a quick check and found some Gun Metal 17" wheels from Enkei, Motegi, MSR and Volk. Might be worth taking a look at.
