Best wheels for Raptor

[Old-Raptor-guy]

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, all. I always get real nervous when I order something expensive and haven't seen the quality and/or finishes in person. I put a lot of faith in Michael and he really came through for me.

That "Bright Graphite Grey" is a newer finish for BC. I had a helluva time finding any of their wheels in that finish on the net, and none of them were the same model wheel. The color is pretty wild. The tinted clear powdercoat over a ceramic-bead-polished wheel gives a ton of depth and that can throw off cameras (and make the color look much lighter). In person, they match the tint/color of the fender flares almost perfectly. That's what I was going for, so when I opened the box and pulled the cloth cover off of them I was stoked.

I went with Black Rhino Primm 17X9 and wrapped them in BFG K02 37X12.5. if fits perfect!

I’ve got some factory beadlock rims for sale if anyone’s looking.

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.

This thing looks absolutely stunning.
Your probably getting massive rubbing on those 40s no?

No rubbing. When the truck suspension is properly set up, it should not rub.
