I saw a white Raptor on a website with these wheels in the tungsten graphite color - looked really sweet!

Thanks! Some don't like the graphics, for me it's what makes it stand out and this was my favorite color, timeless!

Graphics look great! Supposedly been changed up a little bit for the 19th. I elected to not go without the raptor graphics on the rear fenders and I’m regretting it. As soon as they are available after market I will be putting them on. Ford Performance told me it’s too late to change. Your color was my second choice. But looking at it it could be my first

Tungsten Graphite looks very sharp as it matches the OEM flares/bumpers nicely! Black logos for the center caps add just a bit of contrast to bring it all together!

I like these vr-601 wheels in bronze for my leadfoot truck.

1) What will they do to the ride? I feel like there is a little side-to-side sway in the stock truck at highway speeds that I would like to get rid of.

2)if I decided to go to a different color truck in the next year or two can they be re-finished to a different color?

Ride quality is still very good, even with going to the newer 20” wheels and losing 1.5” of sidewall. You’ll be a bit firmer, but in all seriousness, it’s not a major impact. I still find the truck to be incredibly comfortable. You’ll notice more of an impact when you add perch collars to the truck than you would from the wheel swap.

Which leads to the second point, as far as side to side sway, you’re going to have body roll. This is 6k pound truck with a solid amount of travel. You’ll have less sidewall flex not the 20” wheel due to the decreased sidewall and if you had perch collars, you’ll notice a bit more firmness on the front axle.

Hope this clears things up a bit!

Lastly, yes, the wheels can be refinished. That’s no problem. You’ll powder the wheels and paint the center caps, if needed.

Thanks!
