Thanks for the info but I just found them at www.truckaddons.com for $160.00 each (16x8) w/free shipping on a set of 4. They also list the diamond lock for $175.00, I might have to pull the trigger on the diamond backs. Thanks again for everyone's opinions.

Doug.

I dont like either one. I like bead locks but I think fake bead locks are lame. The diamond locks do look a lot better tho, however the "bead locks" are too small and are too spaced out to be believeable.

$190.00 ea. is what they quoted me for the diamond backs (16x8) last month but I didn't buy because I want to see them up close first and I wasn't crazy about their return policy.

The Diamond Locks are sweet... I've been looking at them for awhile now... still can't decide if I like them or the Axis Regulator / Mickey Thompson Classic look more... either way I need the simulated beadlocks!!

For the record, be VERY careful buying AR wheels online. I bought them through a dealer and the AR guys said they would fit the Tundra. Three times and two weeks later I wound up with a different manufacturer. Our trucks are very hard to fit because of the big brakes up front (which suck btw) Bottom line, the AR techs said that they were '100% certain' each time we ordered up wheels--and none fit. No big deal when you're at a shop--huge deal when you're ordering online. Also, IMO buying these online and getting tires won't save you any $$ by the time you pay full price for tires, mounting and spinning. Shop a few local shops, the packages they are offering on wheels these days are incomparable. In most cases you'll get new shoes for CHEAP!!!! I got 33's and wheels from a national chain for under $1000

That said, I like the diamonds

So let me get this straight... nobody knows for sure if Diamond Locks will fit a Tundra?
