Fuchs wheels for a new Tundra

[Salty Springs]

I just picked up a new Toyota Tundra. It's kinda Blah and needs a little cosmetic help. Thought I would level it and add custom wheels and a little bit taller tires. Being an older guy and set in my ways I've decided I don't care for the black wheels so common now. I don' really want chrome either. Being a Porsche guy I've always loved Fuchs wheels and thought "wow" set of them would be just what I need. Well I can't find them or even anything similar. Are they unobtainable? Thanks for the help you all are the best

Back when Lindsey Wheels was at their peak, he had a S-10 shop truck that he made a set of Fuchs that looked nice.

There are several companies making Fuchs look wheels. The bolt pattern and offset is the hard thing to get something that will work for the Tundra.

Not Fuchs but how about Torq Thrust style wheels? Similar look, more classic car look than bro-dozer.

6 lug would look funny

Correct, 6 lug needs 6 spokes or wheel with concealed lugs.

[Salty Springs]

have to admit that I never thought about Fuchs having 5 spokes (thus 5 bolts). Wilnj What wheel is that? Have never heard the term bro-dozer !!

[Tobra]

There are some bad ass wheels out there for trucks

Do not do a search on any Forgeline wheels for Toyota Tundra, Makin Industries and do not even think about looking at any TRD/factory wheels for it

Just trying to save you from some credit card trauma.

Bro-Dozer is a reference to a lifted truck with blacked out super aggressive wheels, with a misaligned LED light bar on the bumper. It likely has never been off road nor towed anything heavier than a jet-ski.

Here’s the link to wheels in the photo. Not sure if they have a fitment for Toyota but there are a lot of torq thrust knockoffs too.

Here's mine with Sparco wheels:

Here's a closer pic. I got tired of the off-road tires and changed to the highest performance tire I could find, the Michelin Latitude Tour HP.

My 1st pic download from my phone! I’m getting hi tech. Truck gets leveled tomorrow then I’ll make some decisions. These six lug wheels really limit my choices.

Not a Tundra but I remember this being a thing in SoCal.

I found all the aftermarket wheels were not the best quality and bought used TRD Pro wheels. Even used, they were not cheap.

How about Alcoa wheels? NATO-style or old-Land-Cruiser-style “steel” aluminum wheels? Volk TE37s?

I like some of the new Method wheels. Good combo of style and ruggedness... First one is "Fuchs-ish"

I think the Fuchs - even if you could work around the 6-lugs - would look odd. Several years ago, a GM dealer took a bunch of brand new Silverados and did an 80's retro theme 2-tone paint job and wheels - they looked great and sold like crazy.



Why not do something similar but based on a vintage Hilux. They usually had one of the wheel styles shown below and some type of side stripes.

[CurtEgerer]

Here's one in black like your's. I would even do white letter tires. Would look awesome

White spoke rims on a Toyota truck is a classic. Just like FUCH for a 911 is.

Thanks for all the help. I do like those method wheels. Just got her back from her leveling. Btw this is my 5th Tundra,but my first blue one

I've always considered these 4 spoke 6x5.5 wheels as the "Fuchs equivalent" for Toyota trucks:
