[QUOTE="SilverBolt, post: 22844, member: 765"] I am a bit different when it comes to wheels. When I change wheels on any vehicle I am looking for a performance improvement first and cosmetics second. On the Raptor I will be going to a light weight forged wheel to lose a big chunk of unsprung weight and rotating mass. Be sure whatever wheel you look at that the strength is up to the Raptors demands. Some cast wheels have a very low strength rating. A rating of 2200lbs or less is going to be on the ragged edge for the raptor. The wheels I am looking at are rated at 3200lbs and up to a 44" tire. The weight 11 lbs less than the stockers and are a 1/2" wider. They are not a flashy wheel but they will help improve acceleration, braking, and increase mpg's. [/QUOTE]
