Beadlocked wheels

[V_K]

Hey everyone I have a 2017 raptor with the upgraded beadlock capable wheels. Lately I’ve been detailing my wheels and was surprised to see so many scratches. Am I crazy to think that these wheels scratch so easily for an 80k truck? Has anyone else have similar issues?

Well I just hit 10k miles on mine so I have no idea. Mine have zero scratches so I wouldn't know.

I use mine as intended and expected scratches/dings. Each mark is a story of an adventure.

I don't go to Starbucks, I guarantee it is not "curb rash" in my case

Also, I never understand the phrase "for an 80k truck"

I don't believe the wheels are made and/or coated with some unobtainium undistructable material.

I get it, the normal wear and tear is no issue for me but still based on my experience these wheels shouldn’t scratch so easily. It just stands out on black wheels. You got any pics of your wheels?

More importantly, Do you have any pics of your wheels? At the end of the day, its just paint.

I will take pics and post. The "beauty ring" is replaceable separate from the wheel itself. And acts as a "protector" so to speak.

The ring on the 2019-2020 has raised spokes and looks better than 2017-2018 but is definitely more susceptible to damage.

No wheel is going to stand up to the curb. But yes, you should expect some wear and tear on your 5 year old truck...that wasn't $80K new

the beadlock rims are garbage. i dont mind taking them...... just make sure you got a set of 6 for me.

oh, if you got the rings too.......

Discount tire damaged mine so they paid to have them powder coated. 1 season later, they're still looking good. I bought an extra set for winter and when I bought them it looked like they had been stored rim side down. They had the paint on the tips of the spokes worn down.

Sell your bead lock wheels to a 1G guy.

I have six I got used and when I got the real lock rings I made good money selling the take off beauty rings to people who only 4 wheel the mall.
