Mainly just trying to get ideas on good wheels. I traded my 18 in for the 2020 due to a bunch of issues. I had the Ford black beedlocks on the 18. Really liked them. The deal I got on the 20 came with the awful allow wheels. Ruins the look of the truck in my opinion . My truck is magnetic screw 802

Just out of curiosity, why would the MY20 have potentially less issues compared to the MY18?

oMG!how long does it take you to park it? What’s the width of your truck with those wheels in relation to the garage opening. I bet the surround camera is a huge help

I have to back in and I use my mirrors. My tires are about an inch wider than the fenders. I like that look. I'm getting better at it.

Angelo1 I dont know if the 20’s have less than the 18’s. All I know was the 18 was spending way too much time in the dealers garage rather then my garage.

method method method.. Every swinging johnny puts method wheels on.. I went with the fuel anza's
This is the reason I don’t go method. I really like how they look, but it seems like 9 out of 10 raptors with aftermarket wheels running around SoCal has them.

I agree with NASSTY and BIG BLUE. Wheel preference is subjective. The real question I have is about any performance difference. I have ordered my 2020 raptor and I'm conflicted about the wheel choice. I was set on the oem forged wheels because I believed they were stronger and lighter than the OEM cast wheels and other cast wheels in general. I recently learned that the forged oem wheels are actually 7lbs heaver than the oem cast wheel option. SO no I am contemplating after market options. Do any of you out there with 20'' wheels notice any performance decrease due to the heavier wheels? I know that there will be an increase in traction on pavement and dirt to the larger wheel. Any decrease in turning radius due to the larger wheel? Should I stay with a 17'', 18'' or 20" I think an 18'' is a good option, but I would like to hear from some of you about the performance aspects. I definitely want the lightest wheel I can afford. I am cognizant of the benefits of unsprung weight in turning and starting and stopping. Thought?
