I am going to buy a new white raptor. Any opinions on what wheels i should go with bead lock or the standard ? Only going to drive on road. Strictly concerned with what looks better on the white truck. Thanks

I think wheel choice is completely subjective but I think a black wheel looks great on these trucks. You can always get the standard wheel choice and buy a set of take-offs later if you decide and it's probably the same money. I personally have the beadlock wheels on my white 2019.

I wasn't aware of this until this week, but do a search regarding maintenance on beadlock wheels (need to frequently retorque bolts). If you are strictly using the truck for street use, the maintenance might be more than you are looking for. I have never owned a set of beadlock wheels, so I can't personally speak for how much maintenance is really required.

They aren't real bead locks from the factory, they are "bead lock capable". No extra maintenance is required.
Correct- need to add a headlock ring, which would also look cool as you can get em in various colors

The bead lock capable wheels look great on my magnetic SCAB. But for the $1900 you save you could probably find some great aftermarket options.

If you never off-road then get the base wheels. The bead-locks wheels are super heavy and also a $1900 option.
