[QUOTE="BAJASVT, post: 772006, member: 7663"] Keep in mind that the OE beadlock wheel is optional and wasn't released until 2013, so not everyone with aftermarket wheels has replaced them. I have it on my truck and like it for several reasons: 1) I think it looks good, 2) it's a forged wheel unlike most that are cast (Method), and 3) it gives you the option to run a true beadlock with the Ford Racing ring. I wish it had a little less backspace to widen the stance of the truck even further, but then you get into a higher possibility of tires rubbing on the fenders/flares during full compression, especially with any tires larger than stock. You'll notice that Method wheels are far and away the most popular aftermarket wheels for Raptors. I almost didn't order the optional OE beadlock wheels when I ordered my truck and instead was going to purchase aftermarket Method NV wheels. This would have saved me money on top of leaving me with the standard OE wheels as spares. I didn't go this route for all of the reasons listed above in addition to the fact that I wanted an OE quality wheel. The Method wheels are good, but if you do some research you'll find that there are some manufacturing tolerance issues with them; some aftermarket center caps fit differently and some of them rub on the stock front brake calipers.
