Hello,

I'm building a FZJ80 and can't decide on wheels. The truck is up for paint but I used one I found online with the color I'm choosing and photoshopped the options of wheels I like. Which one's do you guys like

Sorry for the low quality on some of them, couldn't find a better picture or the right angle [emoji17][emoji17]

Of the wheels you're considering I'd recommend the lightest one. I imagine that would be the Rays and its probably by a sizable margin. I'm a function>form guy so there's an opportunity to remove a lot of rotational mass here. Considering the shoes you'll be fitting to these will undoubtedly be heavy, every little bit helps. This is how I ended up with 15.6lb RPF1's that were just as strong if not stronger than the other wheels I was considering.
 
Ray 10s look great on an 80 imho and they are the strongest wheel in their lineup which would be good considering 80s are no lightweights. With the exception of the F5 rim, their rims also require some grinding to get it to fit over the 80 axle hub. But on the weight note, rotational weight does matter which is why If I was to move from my 33" tire on 16s to say 35s, I would get also move up to a 17" rim. You lose a little bit of rubber but on a 35 it wouldn't concern me. Plus many more tire sizes in a 17" vs 16".
 
I might be wrong but isn't the 80 series LandCruiser 6 studs and your photos are of 5 stud patterns? Does it look different balancing the number of spokes with the studs?

That's right @Tim it does have a 6x5.5 (6x139.7) pattern. The pictures are just references I found on google, but all of them are made in that pattern and with the right offset. Actually the all are custom made to order for the size and pattern I need
