Best wheels for Raptor

[blazn5667]

The OEM beadlocks are built in china too. Innov8 gets my vote too if you have $$ or don't mind spending the $$. And the new Innov8 17x8.5 +25 is very close to the stock fitment.

But bang for buck, I can agree on Method. The Trail Series wheels in particular are pretty awesome. The bead grip technology works really well without hassle of beadlocks.

@Pacific Wheel just curious, what makes innov8 wheels so expensive and why are they superior? Genuinely asking. I'm looking at new wheels for my gen 1 but also don't want to break the bank.

They are custom specd to order, cut in the US, and forged.

Same thing I said to him in a PM

For me I wanted a Forged wheel as I have seen cast wheels (Methods) crack with hard off-road use. I went with Titan7 "Forged for all" wheels and when swapping out my methods, they weighed 10 pounds lighter per wheel. Very noticeable when braking. Now with 40" KR3's, only 113 pounds per wheel/tire. Only about 4.5 pound increase from Methods with General X3's 37's. Most bead locks on Trophy Trucks weigh 150 lbs.

Very nice looking! I have a silver raptor as well.

Lock Offroad is a newer company, super clean designs and the finish is really nice. I went with the Bajas in 17x9. They have a -12 offset and that helps with the 37"s (less rubbing).

Best, hard to say but I would get forged.

If you are doing Raptor things, then it's really hard to beat the 2020 factory 17" beadlock wheels for looks and durability. They are pretty spicy on price in the resale market though.

If you are looking for a strong, beautifully made wheel and price isn't a big factor, and you also spend more time at Starbucks than the sand dunes.... there are several great forged wheel companies that make fitments for our trucks. Innov8 is one of them mentioned here. I went with BC Forged (made in Hong Kong) through Michael (@TheButcher) who is a vendor here. The process was full custom from colors and finishes to wheel lip depth to amount of concavity. It was a great experience with Michael and BC Forged. The production and shipping was fast as well! Highly recommended!

Thanks for the endorsement! Glad you were happy with the process and final result. They turned out awesome!
