Finding 35 and 37 package take off rims

[Dinoman]

Hi,

I have been looking for some 35 or 37 package rims that came with the Gen 3 Raptors for some time. I've included a picture below for the 37 package ones (the 35 package are similar to these.
I'm having a really hard time finding these in reasonable proximity, and trying to find someone that would be interested in shipping me as set. I'm mostly looking for the rims, but wouldn't mind buying with tires also and just replace these later.

I have some questions I was hoping you guys with more experience could answer.

• Are there reproduced versions of these rims?
  • My worry is that I end buying a "fake" rim that is not OEM Ford.
• Should the beadlock "washer" while taking off tire?
  • I've seen a set that has the beadlock screws taken off. I am wondering if this is something to be considered as negative, with them being tampered with.
• What is reasonable price to pay for a set of 4-5 rims in very good shape?
  • I see sets going for between 750-2200 USD, so there is a wide range.
• What are some good sources for finding rims?
  • I'm checking the usual suspects like Facebook marketplace, this forum and also recently ebay.

Thanks in advance.

I bought my 35 package bead locks on e-bay. I think I paid around $900 for newish. The tire shop (Discount Tire) removed the bead lock ring before mounting the tire and put it back on and the end. I think it is hard for them to get their machine around the edge of the rim with it on. I would not be concerned with them removing the rings unless there is visible damage.

If they remove the ring, make sure they balance the tire with it on. Some shops can mount with the ring.

I have a 35 and I bought a second identical set of rims from a member here for $500 for 4 without tpms sitting in my garage.

There are no fakes that I am aware of.
