    I know a lot of folks participated in the FSW wheel group buys. For those who have had the wheels for a few years now, how is the finish holding up? Any structural/balancing/vibration issues?

    Has anyone had to file a warranty claim and can share how that process went?

    I get a little nervous about the aftermarket made in china wheels, but the guy on this forum who represents FSW seems to be legit.

    Thanks.

    I have the 2020 Pro style wheels from FSW for 2.5 years/35000 miles with no issues.
    Solid wheels, the only thing I worry about is breaking a center cap. The center caps are part of the wheel design so if one breaks the wheel will look awful.
    But since the wheels are still in production and FSW has amazing customer service I'm sure they could get me a replacement one if needed.

    Still going strong, no issues.

    Many big name aftermarket wheels are made in China.
    A lot of OEM wheels are also made in China...

    Haven’t had mine very long, but love ‘em so far. Parked beside a T4R Pro the other day with the OEM 17x7 wheels. It’s amazing how much better the FSW wheels look. The added width and concavity of the face makes a huge difference.

    A "car-guy" I work with had never seen my truck before. First thing he asked was, "Are those the stock Tacoma wheels, they look good." They are definitely a noticeable improvement from the OEM Sports.

    I have had mine about 6-8 months they are still looking great. For some reason when I had discount tire swap my tires from stock sport wheels to FSW they said they had to use a lot more weights than they did with sport wheels. Discount Tire mounted the Goodyear Ultra Terrains on the stock wheels, then remounted on FSW when I got them. They do look way better than stock.

    Ive had mine about 8 months or so, have had no issues at all but my truck isnt a daily driver, so Im probably not the best to address with wear and tear. But I've had tons of compliments on rims.

    If their listed weights are accurate I'd be a fan if I were looking for OEM style wheels.

    Yep. Thanks. I know most of the aftermarket wheels are made in china. I try to avoid made in china wherever possible. I generally do not view made in china as synonymous with high quality, and I do know that some of the aftermarket wheels made there are really good, but there is also some really cheap junk that I want to avoid.

    I like the idea of zero offset, but the 17"s I want (OEM) are cheaper than the FSW wheels lol.
