It could be the bland that's bothering me but I do love the murdered look, I have some contrast with the factory flares and bumpers, there's the bolts on the methods... I'm wondering if it's the drive that is getting too me. Anyone else feel a difference in the feel of the truck when swapping the wheels ?

It's all personal preference. I went with the 18" NV in +18mm because I like the flatter look of the wheel and the functionality of a wheel closer to stock offset. I have seen the factory wheels powder coated flat black in person and they look awesome as well.

I'm not a big fan of the stock wheel, but I think it being painted or powder coated flat black would help them tremendously. You won't have any issue selling the Methods when you decided to take them off!

What part of NS are you in? I grew up there, heading back for a couple weeks without the Raptor though.

Post some pictures of your truck with the NV's on. Hope I don't get bored, I'm looking to get a set for my truck as soon as possible!

I got the beadlock capable wheels on my '13. I think they look awesome and am happy I took that upgrade.

NVs are awesome on a Raptor. He will not have a problem selling them:

my thought is that it may be the lack of contrast your truck probably has now. i am not a fan of the all black look. a bit of contrast here and there is ****, all one color is just not for me. it looks bland IMO. maybe thats what u are starting to feel...

My truck is black on black on black and I love it. Only non black parts on my truck is my skid plate attached to my ADD Race bumper and the grey in my stock wheels.

And to answer the OPs question, I have no desire to switch out wheels. No need. The stock SVT wheels look good and that's an $800-$1000 in our pocket that can be used towards lights, bumpers, etc.
