ForeverMaker Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I vote for bronze as well. A little different but still classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the gold/bronze look a lot I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 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? http://nolimitbmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/2-22.jpg I vote for bronze as well. A little different but still classy. Holy shit!!! You're still alive?!?! :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Bronze will suit your color well. That's what I would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 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: http://b.cdnbrm.com/images/products/rell/wheels/rekon_xt_b58_beadlock_wheels_f150_raptor_lifestyle.jpg http://b.cdnbrm.com/images/products/large/wheels/rekon_xt_b58_beadlock_wheels_hero.jpg the lettering on the wheel is cheesy I know, and they are a little flashy, but I dunno - I kinda like 'em.

coltboostin Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 It's not 'that you do' but 'that you can' That's basically being a truck ricer. I vote Bronze- I agree 20s or larger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 A real beadlock on a (mostly) street driven truck is not smart. They need constant attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh8sti Posted November 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Aftermsrket wheels and a leveling kit. Bro level 5 achievement in sight. :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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you wouldn't even know it was there unless I posted it on here haha 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.

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 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, something that I have no interest in utilizing. Some other ford guy might want to use them that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
