I've been back and forth on doing these for past few weeks since I got the wheels. Even did a quick photoshop and still wasn't sold. Total cost was under $5 to try them out. I'm still unsure on them, so I'm reaching out to the forum for opinions!

Installation was pretty straight forward. Jack a corner, clean with alcohol and apply 1/4" pin stripe, once around entire lip then overlap a little bit and done. Repeat 3 more times. It is not hard by any means, took me right at an hour from pulling jack out to putting it up.

Opinions, good or bad are welcome!!

I like em a lot. Nice touch. Also making the raptor decal with white accent is really nice too

It's not bad but I'm still not a fan since it reminds me of my stock 2011 wheels. Other words why go with aftermarket wheels if they are going to be similar to stock. (Except it's a very thin whitewall )
I am a big fan of what you have done with the center caps.

Thanks for comments!

I never realized how similar my stock wheels are to these, but definitely like them being bigger and black (that's what she said??). Plus tire tread is awesome, least IMO.

Can't take all credit for graphics, that was with help of Designs N Signs with little input on my end. I didn't think I'd like the white showing through since I wanted stock-like but after installing it I love it.

I have to agree, I live in Louisiana so my truck never sees stuff most raptors see. But should work good in the LA mud!

I don't like it, not hating, just giving my opinion. I hope you're digging it.

Nah, all opinions good or bad are welcome. I want honesty since I'm unsure at this point. I love on busa, but not 100% sure on Raptor.
