******* ********. I had them in my cart at $1349 this morning, went to check out and they were $1949. **** that.

yea, i sent him a message last night asking if they were new or take offs.... by the time he responded the price went up. ill wait, they will come back down, and if they dont ill find a set local. alot of people that bought trucks with them are getting rid of them.

He just emailed me and said this:

The price has gone up due to my supplier changing the price on us. We had purchased a few sets of these at the lower price. I can honor a price of $1659 for you if you would like to still make the purchase.

This $1659 price is exactly my cost on the set.

I doubt they'll go down. The concave look of the 2017's is more up to date than the Gen1 wheels. Since they fit both trucks and Gen1 wheels are still $$$ refinished or used these will always be in demand. The missing piece of information is how much the wheels would be from FORD parts? How much are Gen1 beadlocks as new parts as a historic comparison? If it's higher than $1900, buy now if you want'm on your silver wheeled truck or as spares. Method forged beadlocks are how much, $4k+?

he told me there were 1349 to begin with because they had so many and not so many raptors out yet. said they sold the first how ever many to begin with at that price because not much demand in store once on eBay and most of us and to change orders to get trucks built ,the more orders the higher the price , but they'll be 2499 before its over , i talked to him 45 min on phone this am was nice dude but said the boss is going up 500 today , i mean look at this dealers at 5k 10k etc over on the trucks , i had a bad spot on my 16 platinum wheel a while back and called several ford dealers they wanted like 1100 for one wheel so i don't feel so bad at this or at least the 1349. he assured me he had 700 sets left said they ordered from ford 6 months ago and they been coming in for some time.thats why i posted early as i could so maybe anybody that wanted could call before they went up , he said there not gonna put on there they have that many ,hint i ordered because it said 8 wheels left i wanted to get before they ran out lol thats the pitch folks better order before they're out but there not gonna be out lol at least until they sell they 700 left he said some were ordering to put on gen 1 also so idk

Just don't buy them. They didn't sell a single set off eBay today, it's still showing 7 sets. I'm sure people bought off site but if everyone would just wait they will come down. Why sit on 800+ sets of wheels?

Ordered my G2 on 9/29/16
With the beadlocks
Told by FP truck will be produced 1/19
Got my VIN Today from deal
My FnBeadlocks were removed and are not on my window sticker.
Emailed dealer with PDF of my Dora with beadlocks and window sticker w/o em.
Typical Ford BS. No courtesy call etc.
I know this will get the truck sooner, but it's total BS.
As is the whole G2 roll out.
On top of the delays now more BS.
Check your window stickers or you may be in for a shock when you take delivery.
Oh and the price went up on a couple things from my Dora. MSRP n delivery charge. More Ford BS. Next we'll get beadlocks but there be a upcharge on the window sticker.
What Next Ford?
