I checked today, and the spare tire is a bead lock tire. Me and another buddy who has a Raptor or seriously looking into the SnoBall 500. I do have a question about the 500. Do we really need to carry our spare in the bed of the truck?

I tried to take more pictures too. They just don't do the truck justice. This is a great color, you just have to see it in person. It is a tan like color but has a grey tint to it. That is the best way I can describe it.

Yes you do. Mainly because if you get a flat it is going to suck to have to drop your spare in a massive amount of snow.

We have come up with some great options. Wsi is offering vertical tire racks and a few other vendors have other options. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me via pm.

Cool, so for the $1165 package price, you actually get five of those wheels. Makes the option all the better then. Might add it back in to my order. I really like the look of them. Do you have any idea of the weight of the beadlock style wheel as compared to the regular wheel? Anyone know true weights?

Thx.

They are pretty close to the same. I had them both hand in hand when I was replacing mine. I'd call them pretty much equal though.
