17×9″ FN Wheels / Konig Countersteer Type X Flow Formed : 17×9″ -25mm 6×139.7 – Set of Four Wheels
You guys (and gals) have been asking for a more aggressive Countersteer Type X, and we’ve listened! We posted renderings of this design late last year, but we’re happy to post this update with images of physical samples and an ETA for specific applications.
Meticulous attention to details, premium aluminum alloy and advanced flow forming technology result in an excellent strength to weight ratio. These wheels weigh 23.9lbs and are load rated at 2,500lbs per wheel (DOT-T, JWL-T and SAE J-2530).
Reinforced lips/flanges.
Raised beads with knurled bead seats to maximize bead retention / minimize bead slippage at low PSI.
We expect to have the following options in stock by early September:
More colors / bolt patterns to come!
Thank you for reading the “news” section of our website. Today we’d like to share some updates regarding inventory and new products as well as shipping lead times for the week of October 16, 2023.
First, we want to let everyone know that the FN / Konig Countersteer Type X flow formed wheels are back in stock in 16×8″ +0mm offset 6×139.7. We have the following versions available to order now:
These are really sweet, light weight (19.5lbs per wheel approximately), super strong (flow formed construction with 2,100lbs+ load rating) wheels.
We’re currently running the 16×8″ +0mm offset Countersteer Type X Flow Formed in matte black with LT285/75R16 Toyo Open Country AT III tires on our 2014 FJ Cruiser. The light weight 16×8″ Countersteer Type X really helps to neutralize the increase in weight added by the heavy duty Toyo tires.
Second, we’re happy to announce that we expect to have many of our most popular wheels back in stock the week of Monday October 26, 2023. This includes:
Up next for this update is some news about another fitment coming soon for the Countersteer Type X. This all-new version will feature a 17″ diameter, 9″ rim width and aggressive -25mm offset (4″ backspacing) along with a robust 2,500lbs load rating (tested to SAE J2530 standard). The wheel weight is projected to be only 24lbs per wheel thanks to meticulous design, engineering and testing along with an advanced flow form manufacturing technique using only the highest purity 6061 T6 aluminum alloy available.
We teased this wheel on Instagram a few weeks ago and received excellent feedback.
Surprisingly (to us), quite a few 2007-2021 Tundra owners sent us messages indicating that they’re looking for aggressive rim width and offset combinations.
Initially we intended to offer this wheel in the 6×139.7mm bolt pattern only, but after considering all of our customers’ input we went back to the drawing board and got to work on a 5×150 option. This wheel will look awesome on 2007-2021 Tundras with fiberglass fenders, custom bedsides, and/or fender flares.
We’ll post more updates about the new 17×9″ Countersteer Type X flow formed as we progress through the manufacturing process. We expect the wheels to be ready to ship in early 2024.
Lastly for this update, please note that all orders placed after 4:00PM Pacific on Friday October 13, 2023 will ship on or after Monday October, 23 2023. We are available to take your calls, respond to emails, and accept orders, but we will not be shipping orders during the week of October 16, 2023. Thank you for your patience and patronage. We greatly value and appreciate all of our customers.

We would love to hear from you, and we are here to answer any questions or requests.
Thank you again to all of our valued customers. We truly appreciate you all, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,
FN Wheels
We’ve spent the better part of 18 months perfecting new versions of our 17″ Five Stars and Six Shooters to fit the latest Toyota Landcruisers, Sequoias, Tundras, and Lexus LX’s, and we’re excited to announce that these wheels are in-stock now!
The new FN Wheels Five Star and Six Shooter wheels feature a robust load rating of 2,500lbs+ per wheel with a maximum tire diameter of 37″ as tested to the stringent SAE J-2530 standard all the while maintaining a relatively light wheel weight. This feat has been made possible by the use of high purity, A356-T6 aluminum alloy, an advanced flow form manufacturing technique, reinforced rim flanges/lips, extensive R&D including finite element analysis and rigorous physical testing. No sacrifices or compromises were made when it came to ensuring the strength of these wheels.
We took into consideration that many of our customers use their vehicles for offroading, camping and overlanding. Lots of our customers are enthusiasts who will add bed racks, roof top tents, steel bumpers, and gear to their rigs. Moreover some of our customers will also choose to install 37″ diameter tires on their vehicles. Accessories add weight to the vehicle, which also increases the stress and load that the wheels are required to bear. Larger tire diameters also contribute more stress and load onto the rim. We designed, engineered and tested the new Five Star and Six Shooter wheels to meet all of these demands and load requirements for the latest full size Toyota trucks and SUVs. We then verified the load ratings by subjecting the wheels to the industry’s strictest testing standard – SAE J2530.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy that our wheels were specifically designed for maximum brake clearance. Over the course of development of the new Five Stars and Six Shooters we also took the time to research what our competitors were offering in 17″ for the new full size Toyota trucks. We found that that many aftermarket wheel manufacturers offer their 17″ wheels with offsets that are too low for the new Sequoia and Tundra in order to achieve the necessary brake clearance, or they offer 17″ wheels which cannot be dynamically balanced due to the position of the wheel weights relative to the wheel’s drop center and/or barrel shape. Our new 17″ Five Stars and Six Shooters provide excellent brake clearance and an offset which has been tailored to fit all vehicles built on the Landcruiser 200 / 2nd generation Sequoia/Tundra and 3rd generation Sequoia / Tundra platforms. We developed a special high clearance / high strength barrel design to fit over the large OEM brakes that come standard on these vehicles. We recommend that your installer uses any of the commonly available, low profile, stick-on wheel weights in 5 gram or .25 oz segments to balance your new wheels. Both the 17″ Five Star and the 17″ Six Shooter have ample barrel clearance to be dynamically (dual plane) balanced without any brake caliper interference so long as low profile weights are used to balance the wheels.
All of the new wheels are hub centric for the intended applications. This means that the diameter of the wheels center bore (the hole in the center of the wheel) will be a snug fit on your vehicle’s hub. Additionally, all of the wheels have been manufactured with 16.2mm stud holes to accept extended thread (aka “ET”) lug nuts. This is an important feature as well, since Toyota trucks and SUVs have short wheel studs, particularly on the front hubs of 4WD models. The ability to use extended thread lug nuts allows for maximum thread engagement on the short wheel studs. ET lugs coupled with a hub centric design will provide a true fit and a ride that is free of harmonic vibrations.
As a bonus, we incorporated another feature into the new Five Stars and Six Shooters : knurled bead seats. The addition of knurled bead seats helps to enhance bead retention at low psi, and the knurls also help to prevent the bead from slipping from high torque applications.
We are confident that you will not find safer, better fitting or higher quality 17″ wheels for your full size Toyota truck or SUV.
