GEN 2 Unofficial Official Rays Wheels Thread!

I seen those and thought they were huge. But makes sense they don’t fit. You should try to convince them to make those flatter color matches caps like the original al TE’s

Trimming the liner and the fender flare corner was easy, getting into the pinch weld would be a day project though.

I *drove* home on the 37's prior to throwing in the perch collar. It was an interesting 60 mile trip from the shop to home. lol.

What finish did you go with?

Is there a tire size fitment that does not require any modification to the car?

What kind of pricing are you guys getting on the 57DR-X wheels? Was thinking about bringing some in or possibly doing a group buy. Just want to make sure it would be worth it.

Are there real big disadvantages to running 18s when you are off-roading? I really like the TEs, but I wanted to stay 17".

Has anyone seen the 57DR-X on a raptor with the center caps or any pictures of the center caps available? I've been waiting on an Race Relations RR2 for half a year and these might be a better alternative.

In terms of quality they're much better than RRW. I can't say I've seen them on a Raptor yet though.

That makes sense considering how long they've been in the game. If you would let me know what kind of pricing to expect on a set of 4. I'm about ready to give up on my back order.

A 17” Te37xt would not be possible,

The Te37x (6.139.7 / 5x150) and the predecessor Te37xt (6x139.7 / 5x150 / 5x127 / 6x135) are all step lip design.

While the overall diameter of the wheel is 18”, the face itself is smaller within the step lip design. Tolerance is tight as is. I too wanted the 17”, but Rays would not produce a 17” XT.

I probably put a couple hundred miles of dirt on my XT’s just cruising around of access road / trails and washes. My previous 18” trans-x saw a few more desert miles before being sold off in anticipation of the XT’s.

There isn’t any disadvantages given that Rays’ build quality far succeeds most offerings within the market.
Each wheel is JWL / JWL-T certified with Rays’ own internal testing which easily surpasses the JWL/JWL-T standards, in which Rays’ holds a higher set standard of testing.

As far as I’m aware, there isn’t a 57dr-x on a Raptor yet. I saw a couple +20 sets roll into US Inventory, but I’m personally waiting for an et0

That GL super dark gunmetal finish is one of my favorites.
