Are the Raptor's Factory Wheels "Horrible"?

[LVdezertdawg]

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

Thanks much, I may have to do a little research!!!!!!!

I think the size they use and for functionality they were great. I think there are some better looking wheels out there but I don't know if I put a set of 20's on it that I would be jumping anything to big or things like that. Just my $.02

I like them just fine.

The overall spoke design is a rough adaptation of the FR500 concept wheel design.

They're different, they fit the truck's personality and I like the anthracite centers/machined lips.

I like my wheels, but love it when guys post pictures of other wheel styles or colors.

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 am 100% in agreement.

I like the wheels. I think they are one of the better looking factory wheels. If you dont like 'em- that's fine to.
Just dont expect me to get all excited when your "made in China" wheel fails and sends you off in some surprise direction.

Anyone happen to know the weight of these compared to an equivalent sized aftermarket wheel?

Our wheels are a modified version of the 3rd Gen Lightning wheel

I personally am not in love with the Raptor's stock wheels, I feel they do look much better in black.

Our stock wheels weight 34lbs.
