I bought the ford OEM beadlock capable wheels from the ebay seller. My plan is to have the dealership switch them out when my Raptor arrives. My question is do I need anything besides the wheel? I have the beadlock wheels and they came with nothing, just the wheel. Does anyone know if I need anything extra to get them on my truck? Can the parts from the standard wheel be used for the beadlocks?

*This is my first time switching out wheels on a vehicle.

Your TPS should transfer. If you want beadlocks you will need to buy the rings from Ford. Assuming the lug nuts will fit the wheels.

The seller said TPS would transfer. Lug nuts, wheel lock, hub cover? I assume those are on the standard. Would they transfer?

Lug nuts/wheel locks/TPMS will transfer over. I think the center cap will as well. Did you get the trim rings with the wheels?

Thanks crash. Helps ease some nerves. The trim rings? If you mean the rings that actually allow it to go full beadlock, no I did not get them. There is literally nothing in the box except the wheel.

Are you talking about the seller on Ebay from Detroit Wheel and Tire? I'm also thinking of buying a set from them.

Yes. I talked to him and he said I shouldn't need anything else. But I want to be sure since I am not super experienced in this area.

Here is my new Raptor with the older style '14 Raptor beadlocks. I think it looks great. I was going to powder coat the rings to match the fender but decided to stick with the machined aluminum look. Perhaps not for everyone, but I kinda like it.

If this are OEM wheels, there have the trim ring mounted.
I would recommend to remove the trim rings prior to mounting the tires.
If you intend to install them in bead lock configuration you need to get the forged bead lock rings.
