    I'd been looking for a Volk TE-37 type wheel for offroad and I found these wheels on the Tacoma World forum. They are 18x9 zero offset 108mm hub FN Wheels BFD.

    I had them powdercoated Lollypop Red over Super Chrome and had the brush bar done to match. The top red coat is transparent so they really have a lot of depth to the shine.

    The tires are 285/65R18 Nitto Terragrapplers. Since they are zero offset they rubbed a lot. I had to do about 8 turns on the torsion bars, trim the front cladding and also unbolt the bracket in the back of the front wheel well and drill a new hole further back to pull the plastic back.

    The cladding has one coat of Showroom New black dye applied with the foam roller, really happy with how it turned out.

    NICE.. ( glad ya figured out the pic posting )

    Maybe a tad nose high?

    If you feel same..
    ... OME springs in back would help offset the
    Torsion bar crank "lift" up front.

    Good looking VX

    Looks great Alaskan7

    Very original and well done. Perfect rim offset too IMO.
    There's no 'I' in denial.

    went up to some 20"

    Ive had these 20" wheels and Falken tires sitting in my showroom
    ready to put on my VX now for a yr and today decided to put them
    on and see how I like them.
    (my 17" worx are still ready to go back on if I decide I dont like these.)
    but these are growing on me fast, but the 17" have a lot of positives too.
