Expensive wheels. Expensive brakes. Not everyone's style especially on these forums. Many members here including myself would prefer 17's or 18's max with a tire with a lot more flotation (read... Sidewall). I personally love the big brake kit. The 22" wheels albeit extremely expensive and nice are a bit too "street" for the off-road capabilities of the truck. To each their own though. As long as you're happy that's all that matters. Truck does look good and tastefully done. Congrats on the new ride.

Dont be insulted by the wheel comments. Lost of the members use the raptor Offroad as its intended. 22" wheels would not hold up on many trucks on here Offroad. Those wheels I'm sure would look and perform great on the tremor

I personally like the wheels. A lot. I don't ever remember seeing an HRE wheel I didn't like. I especially like that they're not black (black wheels is a tired look IMO).

The issue with the wheels I think most here have is the diameter. It's a big wheel and that's not what delivers the best performance off road. That's why I said it's a "Street Queen."

17's or 18's are typically what's run off road because it gives you more sidewall which provides a better (less rough) ride thanks to sidewall flex.

Your wheels look good especially with the big brakes. It's just a street look.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. Those wheels are badass!! HRE and adv1 are some of the sickest wheels available. 22" is just a little too big for my preference on the raptor. Looks wise they are hard to beat. It's just nice to be able to pop curbs and slam down dirt roads without worry of ruining a multi thousand dollar set of wheels.
