2017 Ford Raptor: High Resolution Photos

So, do you know if you could indeed run without the beauty rings while you had them powder coated? I'm thinking maybe a "true red" on an AG truck. I don't know....just a thought.

If they are like the Gen1, then yes. The bead is behind the lip that the trim ring is bolted to.

If you like the look go aftermarket and get a beadlock look wheel. True beadlocks require maintenance, can be difficult to balance, and have the potential for slow leaks. Great to have if you offroad where you would be airing down regularly.

They are GEN1 guys running true beadlocks all the time. I doubt any cop would even know to check. The only time when an issue might arise is if you had a serious accident that encountered death to the occupants and an investigation was done.

Guys running them do need to check the torque every so many thousands of miles though and condition, hence the maintenance for them.

The more pics I see of the ruby red, the more I wish I had ordered it instead of black. I was very excited when I saw the race red demo and was disappointed when it wasn't offered. I checked out a 16 F150 that was ruby red and didn't care for the color in person but the ruby red on the Raptor looks different in all the pics online

ruby red is a tricky color. i have it on my 2013 SHO.
the color look AMAZING in the sun and curtain lighting since it gets the metallic to pop but in low light/night its just looks maroon.
one thing with ruby red is its SUPER thin paint so it chips extremely easily, all ford paint is but with ruby red it seems much easier to chip.

Saw a preproduction avalanche screw with orange accent (bolsters were suede before they switched to all leather thankfully) at our pediatric office in se mi last night. It looks damn cool in person. Where is my Raptor!!

I noticed that the bolsters in the TFL review were suede. They were the orange seats, too, so I wonder if that is part of the accent package.

Personally, I like them. I wouldn't want the whole interior done like you see in some sports cars, but suede bolsters really help keep you planted in the seat.

I like that suede keeps you in the seat but it also sticks to your shirt (pulls it up) and more importantly fades and wears much quicker than leather
