optional BL wheel , if you order the 35s

[Gsteve]

The build page shows a crap pic of a wheel that doesnt look like the one pictured with the 37s. Anyone know which wheel the 35 gets?

The first one non beadlock in the build and price, or you can get the crappy beadlock your talking about. They only offer the nice wheel with the 37s

Don’t worry, once everyone gets their truck there will be a few for sale as guys switch their wheels

I stuck with the cast aluminum wheels that came with it. I did not think the $1900 upgrade to the forged aluminum was worth it. I think the bead lock option for the 35's are ugly. I might try to look around for a set of the 2020 bead lock wheels. I think those were similar to the current wheels that are for the 37's. I always thought those wheels looked good. Did Ford offer a black wheel in the past that was not a bead lock? I have a guy that lives near me with a Gen 2 that has black wheels on it that look good, but they are not bead lock.

New Raptor owner here. Is there a market for stock take-offs? I come from the Harley world where everyone swaps their pipes, and stock Harley pipes are a dime a dozen, you can't give them away. I am thinking with all of these people wanting to make their F-150s look like Raptors, maybe there is some value in the stock take-offs on the secondary market?

The stock Raptor wheels not so much, but, the optional bead lock capable wheels do command a reasonable price if you decide to upgrade.

Absolutely! Just wait 6-12 months from now. I know my base wheels are coming off as soon as I get my truck. Granted, more peeps will want the bead-lock wheels but still .. guys who offroad their trucks hard want 2 spares. Lots of people also sell their KO2s

the upgrade 35” wheels are actually pretty cool in person. The website made them look sort of ugly IMO

Normal 35s off a raptor can sell for 1250 at least and can be hard to find so theres a market for them for sure

This is great news as it makes the investment for a wheel swap much more palatable.

Would you recommend selling the stock wheels with the KO2s and then get new tires with the new wheels?
