Beadlock/CF orders getting pulled 02/01 forward

[xerert]

Received a call from my dealer (who is a close friend) early this morning. He explained that he'd received a message that if I wanted my order to be pulled I'd have to drop the bead locks. If I didn't there was no telling how long I'd wait...but it would be a LONG wait. He had no reason to lie, and being a close friend wouldn't.



So much for the beadlocks...lots of wheel options out there!

Got a call from my dealer this morning, saying I am #10 with beadlock option nationally, but Ford would only pull 1 order or so per month, things could be changed next month but no guarantee. I think maybe Ford have limited beadlock wheels left and is not going to order new ones for 2017.
So I dropped it and expecting get build late Feb or early Mar.

Dealer also recommended Fuel wheels, are they good, do you guys have any thoughts on after market wheels?

I did notice that. I guess if you had a lifted F150 and you wanted the Raptor wheels that would work. If you HAVE a Raptor not sure why you would buy another set of tires if your just looking for BL wheels? Price either way seems high to me.

I seen a Raptor on Ebay with 20" Fuel wheels from a dealer wanting a Raptor Ransom but I also like the regular wheels flat black.

Yeah, he offered someone on hear $650 for there OEM wheels, but I contacted them by email and wanted to use my UPS shipping number and avoid ebay's 10% and Paypal's % to cut a deal and he didnt budge but he did offer me $450 for my wheels. Whatever... I'll try powder coating my wheels and see if I like it.

Maybe its because he's from Michigan and I'm from Ohio???

It's possible the MI vs. OH thing... growing up in Ann Arbor, I get it!

Please post pics of your wheels after powder coating - might be an avenue I go down as well....
