[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1352920, member: 31322"] I'm not surprised, just wasn't sure since they're same sizes, the design comes into play a bit in weight but again - they're truly forged wheels vs. plain sand cast. There are ways to make the forged wheels lighter w/ design, but spun/pressure casted forged wheels are typically heavier because they're denser. They don't break nearly as easy. Crappy cast wheels are known to crack on track cars due to stress while cornering. It is all preference - for me I prefer having the most utilitaritan/rugged equipment possible vs. aesthetics or techy stuff. The fact the OP was asking this question & there are only 2 options currently available leads me to believe you should go the cheaper route & browse around in meantime may find something that appeals more than either factory option- or if you decide you want the forged 17”s after the fact not like you can’t source them. Some people run snows on these trucks- could also use the base wheels for snow tires get something else for rest of year.... Personally I think satin or gloss black w/ some accent color to them would look good on a white raptor w/ all the black trim that comes w/ it [/QUOTE]
