I was all about the standard wheel until I saw the 2019 Beadlocks and just had to have them. IMO strongest best looking wheel out there by a longshot. IMO most aftermarket wheels are not only ugly but poor quality as well.

Thanks for everyones input. I decided to go with the 17-18 OEM beadlocks on my 2019 from eBay. The black centers should look good on my agate black scab.

Factory for sure. Factory performance wheels always look better and are of better quality than aftermarket. When I see aftermarket wheels on vehicles... it makes me think of Pep Boys type stuff... steering wheels, license plate holders, stick on chrome vents, etc.

A lot of hate on this thread for aftermarket wheels and a lot of misinformation that all aftermarket wheels are of lower quality.

I find it hilarious that the 2019 beadlocks are an $1,800 upgrade when lighter, better looking and higher quality wheels abound in the market for a fraction of the price. But, to each their own.

Method Grid wins in my opinion! I expect to sell my 2019 stock wheels (style is decent, polished finish is off-putting against such a rugged truck). I recognize they are not a true bead locks, but game changing cost roughly neutral upgrade over stock. Plus, I truly think Method’s wheels look way tougher then the OEM bead-locks with no inlay (OEM’s look smaller), their color is better, and they set up a touch off center (this subtle width adjustment adds to the stance without being overdone). Note: You do need to order 5 accessories to complete this look.

1. Matte black wheel bolts
2. Chief Machining LLC “Ford logo” machined center caps. Method’s big plastic cone center caps are comically bad.
3. KPG collar - 1.5” lift provides the perfect stance.
4. 35% tint, passenger/driver windows
5. BAK Revolver X4 - arguably the best tonneau on the market (totally flush, hard roll up, course matte black)

Enjoy your truck!!
