Mike, you've seen my wheels right? "Spanish Gold". IMO they would fit with your car. When they're clean they are a dark gold, when they get filthy they're more bronze.

 

Yeah I have seen those!

 

 

I like the gold/bronze look a lot I think

Whatever you get, I think bronze ones would be sweet

 

+1.

 

Honestly, if you're not going to jump the thing, I'd love to see some bigger wheels, like 22s?

I vote for bronze as well. A little different but still classy.

 

Holy shit!!! You're still alive?!?! :gabe:

I'm just kidding...(though at one point in the 1990's I did almost purchase a set of these for my jeep - you would not believe what a chick magnet they are).

 

I personally feel like the Raptor needs a beadlocking wheel. It's the ultimate OEM 4x4 - it needs ultimate offroad wheels.

 

I kinda like these Weld Racing Rekon XT B58 Beadlock Wheels:

the lettering on the wheel is cheesy I know, and they are a little flashy, but I dunno - I kinda like 'em.

 

I like these also:

Aftermsrket wheels and a leveling kit. Bro level 5 achievement in sight.

 

:yuno::yuno::yuno::yuno::yuno: Have you seen it with the "leveling kit"? It's 1.5" to raise the front and keep it from dangerously nose diving while braking hard. I bet you wouldn't even know it was there unless I posted it on here haha

I do like the Rekon XT - my only concern is I don't ever need true beadlocks, which is the main reason for getting rid of the stock ones. Someone will use them and will love them. Just not me!

I'm very sensitive to leveling kits, so I have confidence that I'd instantly notice it. I have literally never seen one I liked.

 

It is your truck and an awesome one at that, you're just traveling down a path I don't like. This fact is irrelevant, so do your thing.

It sounds like less of an issue with the “leveling kit” and more of an issue with your sensitivities Aaron.

 

Rest assured my child that this raptor will be treated properly.

A real beadlock on a (mostly) street driven truck is not smart. They need constant attention.

 

price to pay for being baller as fuck.

I don't think the stock ones are a "true" beadlock - they can be converted to a true beadlock with the ford racing beadlock rings but as they come they shouldn't require the periodic re-torquing

I do know that are/can be true bead locks. Again, something that I have no interest in utilizing. Some other ford guy might want to use them that way.
