Are the Raptor's Factory Wheels "Horrible"?

[Xjrguy]

I'm putting 30 inch Teddy Bear spinners on mine with LED lights (which make a message when the wheels spin).

speaking of strippers. I think I'm going to have to hit up a strip club when I get back to the states.

I'm going a cheaper route - I'm buying ten of these and putting them all over my Raptor. Each one will have a different message including: www.SVTOffroad.com

I love how you guys have the ability to totally devalue any thread...

Having experienced wheel failure of an aftermarket wheel many years ago, I'm a little leery of changing wheels on anything but a "garage queen".

Before I even think about the look I want to know the load rating and what standards the wheels meet... where the sales guy is usually just interested in if they will fit.

Surprisingly some aftermarket wheels don't meet any standards and don't even have the "required" DOT stamp.

That said, I like the Raptor wheel and if anything, I might buy another stock set someday.

i couldnt agree more!

I personally would love for them to be like our spare....i have accumalted scratches on my rims...but if i buy them all new, im going to look into the all black look.

Why not poweder coat your stock wheels Black?
Kills 2 birds with 1 stone
Get rid of your scratches and gets you you're black wheels.
Powder Coating is ruffly $50 a wheel

Will the powder coat fade, peel or blister over time? I am not experienced with these coats but that sounds like a reasonable idea. Very inexpensive also compared to new wheels.:thumpsup2:

It all depends on how good of a prep the wheels get. If you find a reputable place that wants to keep there name you should never have a problem with them fading or peeling.
As far as blistering goes, never heard of it happening, but then again I live is Orange County, not Henderson
