A Slight Visual Tweak on Stock Wheels

[RaptArAz]

Truck (and the vette hiding in the garage) look great, contrasting ring really makes the tires pop IMO.

Got a kick out of the vanity plates too. Nice stable.

I like the beadlock ring, subtle and clean. Speaking of clean... I mean yes, its a brand new truck but that polish is money. Good work

Not to be bearer of bad news, but that is an abrasive. Polish and compound contain abrasives. That's how they work. The micro-abrasives remove very thin layers of clearcoat to level the paint. The smoother the paint the better the shine. Also, I'll assume that you mean one pass not "one coat", as polish and compound do not leave any product behind. If you haven't applied and wax or sealant after the polish, I'd highly recommend it as unprotected paint won't stay nice for long.

First of all - love the wheels!

Second - how long should one wait before polishing a new truck?

Actually, SRP is an AIO with light abrasives, heavy fillers and a sealant. No need for another LSP unless you want to increase longevity. </schooling the pedant>

Like the look a lot! Really like the bead lock rings - always thought they'd look great on the truck but didn't want to actual mount the tires beadlock style for the street.

I don't think you have to, just mount the true beadlock rings on the outside of the wheel like the fake ones are.

Anyone done this ^^

Curious what they look like

Jacob, I'm new to Raptors, how do the bead lock rings work? Do they simply bolt with the wheel once the tire is installed? Would it be a simple matter of unbolting the rings while the wheels/tires are on the truck, painting/coating them, then reinstalling? Thanks, they looks great...
