These wheels were made for this truck. If Ford was smart, they would contract out to Method and have them supply the factory wheel for the Raptor. I have had several peeps comment on the wheels. :)

Anyhow, I purchased my NVs from TMX and they were awesome to deal with.

Some Stats: Total weight with Duratracs are 92.6, 92.6, 92.6 and 92.4 pounds. OEM wheels and tires with 4087 miles weighed in at 98.2, 97.65, 97.6 and 96.8 pounds. Stock lug-nuts weighed in at 5.8 pounds and the black spline lug-nuts are 3.4 pounds. Averaged weight savings per corner was around 5.5 pounds. It's rare that one can cut weight on a Raptor. :)

btw, I have driven on them (duratracs) for 400 miles and they are slightly louder than stock.

Nice combo. I like the tread pattern on the duratracs, but I don't like that recapped look where the sidewall meets the tread.

how is the performance with less weight
notice more power? more torque? How bout ride and suspension??

How about steering inputs? Did the light weight tires increase performance and drive-ability?

Do the tires feel floaty at highway speeds? It is one thing I heard about the thinner sidewalls of the duratracs.
