Am I in the minority or majority regarding OEM wheels

[Raptor Retrofit]

I like em too, at first I was on the fence about a 35 on a 17 but I think the Raptor looks good with a lot of tire. 20's just look to big.

Same as IRON, Im going for a lighter summer setup next year and running the stocks in the winter. Maybe 18's.

I like them just fine.

Remind me of the original FR500 mustang concept design from way back that many Ford wheels have been styled around.

The BFG's on the other hand I despise. They retain every little rock and then chuck them at the worst time

And as far as keeping the stockers semi-clean, ArmorAll has a new spray on product that actually works really well. Normally I'm anti-armorall and stay far away from it; but this actually works.

I love the oem wheels as well but really want something a little lighter. This has lead me to consider other options at this point.

What is the OEM wheel weight?

I once used PAM anti-stick cooking spray to keep tire boogers off the car at the track. After an application, I came out to find the dogs licking the wheelwells clean. mmmmmm butter flavor PAM. O.K., don't try this.

I like the wheel, just better powdercoated matte black.

What is the OEM wheel weight?

31.5 lbs

31.5 lbs

That sure is heavy for a 17" wheel.

I was hoping for somewhere less than 25lbs.

Yeah, you can get 18's that weigh 25 lbs.

Check out Tire Rack, search wheels and enter in your Raptor info. They have some pretty good info, although they dont list every option available for certain wheels.

i do like them, but with the new wheels for the 2012 looking like crap, i just might find some aftermarkets and sell off the OEM's to a 2012 owner. or just keep them... lol
