Aftermarket Wheels

[TXRaptor]

How do you like the ride of the RTs vs. stock KO2s, or other you may have tried? I am thinking about going with Fuel Anza or Trophy and the RTs for my black 18 SCREW, maybe 18". TIA

When I picked it up from the shop, they had the tires at 48-50 psi wich made them feel stiff and bouncy. I have since lowered the air pressure to 38 psi and had the truck aligned. With the tires at 38, the ride softened quite a bit. The alignment really helped with the wandering at highway speeds because the toe was off on both sides.

At the proper air pressure, the RTs ride almost as good as the stock BFGs and they were recommended by both Raptor suspension shops I called before buying mine. With the 37s, you feel a little bit more weight in the steering wheel and brakes, but nothing bad. They ride much quieter and smoother than the heavier Toyo MTs I had on a lifted FX4 several years ago. They are also quieter than the older General Grabbers I have on my Gen 1.

I highly recommend them for on road, off-road and overall good looks on the Raptor.

As for the Fuel Trophy's, I was concerned the gray color might be off a bit from the Raptor trim color, but they are an exact match to the Magnetic. They are also easier to clean than my matte black Methods because they have a smoother paint surface.

Sad day for this beauty I shared a while back with the red Innov8's. It was definitely one of my favorite GEN2's. Nobody was hurt but there was a fair amount of damage.

Did the truck cause the fire or did the structure fire totally ruin a really nice Raptor?

Fire started in the garage/house supposedly.

My bad, I meant to the structure. The truck is obviously toast. The fire dept posted a video. They focused on the structure while truck burned so they were able to limit the damage to the garage.

Poor guy, I saw the aftermath. He lives a mile or so away from me.

Definitely a clean truck.

You think I'll have to hammer the pinch welds?

That's a great deal. What's the weight of those compared to the RR2-V?

RRW tells me 28-29lbs (probably cause they're 17x9). The RR2-V is closer to 27lbs. Either way, lighter than stock at least.
