OEM copy wheels

[JLW2]

Does anyone have experience with knock offs of OEM beadlock wheels. I would like to get the Gen 1 or 3 style beadlocks for my Gen 1, but I don’t care to pay $500 + for used ones. I doubt if I would convert them to true beadlocks, but want the OEM look and dimensions /fit so I’ve been looking at the more reasonably priced copies

I’ve got 35” tires on aftermarket wheels which are not hub centric currently. I believe they are 0 offset. They make the stance look good , but I’m not sure how much they would bump the fenders on max flex- haven’t tried yet , and don’t want to find out the hard way

I thought I might get the copies as they have the factory offset and width. It is hard to tell if the simulated ring is the same size of the factory ring and doesn’t specify if they are hub centric

Does anyone know , or have them ?

Any of the aftermarkets forged?

Most all wheels are made in China. But there’s still a different level of quality. So I wouldn’t get anything replica. That being said. Methods had their fare share of quality issues. My suggestion is find an aftermarket style you like and go there. But don’t buy a “replica” wheel from an unknown manufacturer.

I have also been looking at used bronco raptor wheels. The specs I can find list
Hub 87.1, lug nuts M14x1.5, 6x135 bolt pattern, 17x 8.5 with either +34 or +35 offset. Those seem to match the gen 1 factory wheel specs that I can find

Any confirmation?

Yes they will fit
