March 2021 : Important Update Regarding Shipping Lead Times


March 09,2021

Dear FN Wheels Customers,

Thank you all for your continued patronage and support. Over the last year we have not reduced our work or shipping schedule, and in fact we have extended our hours of operation to meet the demands of our customers. We value every single one of our customers, and we wouldn’t be here without you all. We’ve also not compromised our quality control, standards or integrity in any shape or form.

With that said, the continued persistence of delays from our ancillary vendors, particularly shipping and freight companies, with regard to their reduction in service guarantees as a result of procedural changes due to government or corporate mandates, winter storms / the deep freeze in Texas, supply shortages or other reasons, has now resulted in shipping delays that our outside of our control.

The purpose of this update is to inform all of our customers that we will continue to work as hard as possible to reduce the impact of these delays, even if it continues to require long hours and a 7 day work schedule, but we ask very respectfully that our customers please be patient and expect shipping delays as the situation is now outside of our control. As much as we’d like to be in full control of every aspect of our business, we are not a freight/shipping company, and at times like this we are the mercy of FedEx, UPS, USPS and the various trucking companies that we contract to make our deliveries and to deliver to us.

If at anytime you have a question regarding your order or shipping status please do not hesitate to contact us by phone at (951)735-1100 or email: [email protected]. Due to the high volume of calls and emails that we are currently receiving regarding tracking/shipping inquiries it might not be possible for us to answer your call immediately. If you leave a message on our voicemail we will absolutely call you back.

Thank you all very, very much for your continued patronage and support.

Sincerely,

Dustin Flickner
President

16x8" Konig Countersteer Type X Wheels Are Here!



*** February 2024 UPDATE***

Certain finishes are on special for a limited time. Please click on the link below to check pricing, availability or to place an order:

https://www.fnwheels.com/store/product/16-fn-konig-countersteer-type-x-16×8-0mm-6×139-7-set-of-four-wheels/

Please e-mail us at [email protected] or call us at (951)735-1100 if you have any questions about the new and improved 16×8″ Konig Countersteer Type X Flow Formed.


The 16×8″ Konig Countersteer Type X  was originally released in 2013 and discontinued in 2020. In late-2021 we re-released a new and improved, flow formed version which is now available.
 
Many improvements were made over the original 16×8″ Konig Countersteer Type X thanks to technological advancements in engineering, testing and manufacturing techniques:
  • Flow formed construction.
  • Strength increased significantly across multiple areas of the wheel compared to the original version as a result of flow form construction and engineering improvements.
    • 2,100lbs + load rating as tested and certified to the SAE J-2530 standards (strictest standard that there is).
  • Light-weight design retained : approximately 8.9kg / 19.6lbs per wheel.
  • Hub centric design for Toyota trucks (no need to install special rings or caps).
  • Lug openings drilled for conical seat, extended thread (ET) lug nuts for maximum stud engagement on short Toyota studs.
  • Flat center cap design (cleaner look compared to the original 16×8″ Countersteer Type X which came with a raised center cap).

The Countersteer Type X continues to be one of our most popular wheels due to its simple, clean design that is light-weight and exceptionally strong. It’s also currently the wheel of choice for our 2014 FJ Cruiser!

What are the advantages to ordering from FN Wheels vs. ordering a competitor’s similar design?

  • Not all wheels are created equal! Our wheels are made from high purity, virgin, A356 T6 aluminum alloy. The 16×8″ Countersteer Type X is manufactured by Konig Wheels (40+ years in business) to our specifications using a state of the art flow forming process.
  • 16×8″ Countersteer Type X flow formed wheels have been tested to DOT, JWL-T and SAE J2530 standards. Load ratings were achieved with oversized tires to ensure strength and safety for our customers who intend to lift their trucks and install larger tires.
  • We have been in business continuously for 20+ years. We are not a fly-by-night, “online only” operation. We don’t source our wheels from the cheapest manufacturer or from a random company that we found on Alibaba.com. We aren’t out to make a quick buck and then disappear. Our goal is to maintain a flawless reputation with our customers.
  • We do not rely on our manufacturer as the final source of quality assurance or quality control. Despite the fact that our manufacturer has an excellent track record for accuracy and quality, we still perform a multi-point quality control inspection on every wheel in our Corona, California warehouse prior to shipping to our customers. We also do not drop ship any of our products. In the rare event that there is a mistake with an order we accept responsibility and fix the mistake. We don’t point fingers, deflect blame, pass the buck or give our customers the runaround.
  • All shipments are packaged by us with great attention to detail to ensure safe delivery to our customers. We double box every wheel, reinforce the outer edges of the packaging, fully insure every shipment, and require signature confirmation upon delivery to ensure that the wheels arrive safe and sound. No corners are cut when it comes to shipping wheels to our customers. This is not an inexpensive method of shipping wheels, but our philosophy has always been that high quality wheels deserve to be shipped in a high quality manner.
  • FN Wheels provides unlimited technical support via e-mail and phone. While most of our competitors have long since given up on talking to customers over the phone, we welcome and appreciate your phone calls. Customers in the U.S. and Canada can reach us toll free at (855) WHEEL-00 (855-943-3500). Local and international customers can reach us by calling 1-951-735-1100. Dustin is also available via text or phone on his cell : (714)390-9387.
