GEN 3 Official Aftermarket Wheels Thread

[Raptorbert]

It’s nothing fancy but after racking my brain for months looking at 0 vs 6 vs 18 vs 25mm offsets I settled for a set of R take offs on my pour model. Got a decent price for all 5 which makes it convenient not having to source a spare or a brand new 5th tire.

The 1st delivery of mods has arrived.

Relations Race Wheels RS7-H Hybrid MonoForged Wheel 17x8.5 +25. Coming in at ~25 lbs each. I have the billet rings on order. Should be here in the next few weeks. Waiting for the truck to get back from PPF and we will install these bad boys.

Edit: I would like to point out something that makes these monoforged wheels a little disappointing IMO. RRW claims the Monoforged wheel should be "15%-20% lighter" than the cast equivalent.

However, the cast equivalent comes in at 27 lbs, per their website.

So their claim is nowhere close to reality since the monoforged is weighing in right under 26 lbs per my scale. (I tested a 30 lb weight on the scale for accuracy and it read 29.7 lbs)

I understand that Monoforged is going to be far stronger but its a bummer they aren't anywhere close to the weight claim on the website. Was hoping for a much lighter wheel to offset the weight added by going up to a 35 on my Ranger Raptor.

Two things; one, how did you get +25 offset? I've only seen them offer 0 offset for Raptor fitments.
Two, every wheel I've looked at that has multiple fitments the 0 offset is lighter than the +25 offset.

The spec you pasted in above is for a 0 offset for their flow formed (I don't think they offer a cast wheel) which seems to always be lighter, so if you have a +25 offset it will be a few pounds heavier from what I've seen. You'd need to find out what the weight of the +25 non-forged wheel is to make that a direct comparison. Additionally, I think they are comparing their forged wheel to competitors' cast wheels in the same size based upon the wording.

I should have clarified this is for a Ranger Raptor. You may be right. I thought their old variant was cast but I could be wrong. I thought their flow forged wheels were new. Here is the exact wheel I bought:



This is what I believe is the old cast equivalent at a 0 offset as you mentioned:



This is the flow formed equivalent of the same wheel which shows the +25 at 24 lbs and +0 at 23.5 lbs:


If they have never made a cast wheel then I am in the wrong. That ones on me if thats the case.

Oh, dang you had my hopes up about a +25 wheel for the F-150 Raptor...

 

[pnwobrigade]

Me too, definitely don't have +25 for F150 Raptor, I'd be ordering Bronze + Black Rings if so.

I just wished they still made the RR7-S or RR7-V. Better looking options but they seem to like Toyota more.

My bad fella's. I traded in my F150 Raptor for the Ranger Raptor a couple of weeks ago. Not much traffic on the RR forum here so I wanted to share the wheels at least.

Should have made it clear from the get go.

Understood. Still wanted to reduce as much unsprung weight as I could considering the heavier tire and changes in geometry as you stated.

This industry is ripe with misinformation that’s for sure!
