Upgraded Beadlock Wheels from '17 to '19

[wkasak_17Raptor]

Hi all,

Just replaced my '17 beadlocks with '19's this week. I think it was a nice upgrade. I found the '19's used at a fair price and liked the updated more open design although both are really nice. I was not interested in aftermarket wheels and wanted to stay with the OEM 17" wheels. I didn't see any before and after pics of anyone that has done this so here you go. Let me know what you think.

If you are local to Maryland I will be posting up the '17 beadlocks with tires/tpms sensors for sale shortly. Wheels are in great shape. IM me if you are interested before then and make an offer (I have not done my research on the going price for these yet). Tires are only about a year old.

I have the 18 BL wheel and really dig the 19s. Did you happen to weigh them?

No...I didn't. I imagine they are about the same weight?

I've always been curious to know the weight difference, but haven't been able to find any actual data.

If OP could weigh them and report back, I'm sure a lot of people would love to see the comparison.

I personally like my 17 beadlocks better than the newer ones... But each to their own...

My main question is what the heck color is your truck? Is that just a crappy picture of a magnetic? Or is that green? Just curious!

For me, there really isn't a single 17" aftermarket wheel I like more or would considering changing to over my 2019 'beadlock' wheels. They look great on the OPs truck and especially good on Magnetic trucks like mine.

LOL...it’s green. I really like the ‘17s too...just like the ‘19s a bit more.

They do seem to weight the same. They use a different true beadlock ring. But I love the look so much better.

I like updated wheel much better.

I like updated wheel much better.

Thanks...because of your truck I removed the green wrap on my roof to make it black again. I like the look.
