Wow that is crazy! Those are very good replicas.
OEM beadlock rims don't fit, why? Anything I can do?

They do look too good to be replicas. Perhaps Ford Performance is making them an option for Ranger Raptor (and regular Ranger) seeing as the non BL Ranger Raptor is the same wheel as the F150 Raptor, just different patterns? There are a bunch of guys on the Ranger forum stoked about the non BL Raptor wheels for their trucks, their heads may explode if they can get their hands on these. Do the rings come off like the F150 Raptor wheels?
Actually, now that I see the first pic I think someone had them inserted. Machining process where you open the hole and "insert" a conical seat slug in at the new pattern. It's hard to tell from that angle. Can you post a pic from the back of the wheel close to the lug holes?
Here are the "inserts". You'll see them from the back of the wheel

i will get a picture posted. i actually see these "inserts" and now wondering if they are the problem. They look like they are smashed in there with some sort of heavy duty tool so much so that a little metal looks like it was pushed into the back side and are not officially part of the wheel. Maybe these things are the problem? If they are, I have no idea what to do about it. The holes would be way too big without something in there and the lug nuts wouldn't have the cone shaped part to screw into for solidity.
To the other post, yes the 'bead lock' trim comes off just like the originals. held on with the
Thanks

Looks like an insert. You can see how the hole is not centered with the relief cut on the mounting pad, how the hole was opened outward to make the change from 6x135 to 6x139.7. Somebody must have changed them to 6x139.7. If they opened the bore (from 87 to 93) I'd think a Ranger owner would be stoked on these and you might be able to recoup some if not all of the money spent. If they did not open the bore they'll only fit Chevy/GM/Nissan 6x139.7 trucks unless you can find a machine shop to open the bore.
Hope this info helps. Sorry the seller was dishonest

Good eyes. That looks like the problem.

Wow, seller is a total *********. Redrilled wheels with inserts 
thanks for the detective work. how would i know if they "opened the bore" so I don't waste a Ranger owners time? Also, what should i say in the ad so I don't end up doing the same thing to another buyer?
is there a way i can still use these or are they officially the 139.7 size now?
thank you all

Measure the center bore with a caliper. (or a ruler to get an approximate measurement) It should be 93.1mm or larger to fit a ranger. The F150 87.1mm is so close to the 93.1 on the Ranger I'd try to get an exact before listing them anywhere.
The only way to make these work would be adapters which would push them out close to 1.5". No real way around it.
