Gun metal grey on white vehicles.

My vote is for the grey Racelines.

I had racelines on my truck. 3 out of 4 cracked where the spoke part hits the wheel. Replaced them with Fuels. The racelines I had needed to be balanced with a road force machine which only one shop had, the spot where the hub cap mounted Had 2 nipples that wouldn’t let you use a standard balancer. I would keep looking around for wheels, there are like 10 wheel companies with the style of wheel your looking for.

They refunded what I paid but it could have been a big deal. When we replaced the first wheel you could see about an 8” crack on the inside. Looked to me those things could have came apart at anytime. Not saying all raceline wheels are like that but I would stay away from the raceline mamba.

I'm thinking that if you can't decide which ones, maybe it's not time for new wheels yet.

Really like the new deep dish Methods. These get my vote!

Way to deep.. and those are 20s" o_O. sticking with 17s", and cant have more than "0" offset, so it somewhat limits whats available on the Raptors.

No Gold... don't want it to look like every other Raptor out there..Lol

If you dont want it to look like every other raptor, go with something other than Methods.
I dont see walkers as often as i used to, and Ive loved every set of those I've had. Also had good luck with raceline monsters, although I dont like the looks of them. I really like BTR's.

Maybe go with something like the new AR ansen sprints? I havent seen those on a raptor.

I gotta say, they all look identical to me from about 20 feet out. But, I’m an Alcoa guy. I like all my shit to look like a peterbuilt.

How about a walker evens wheel. Or I had serious thought of going back to chrome because everyone has black.

Those aren't bad, but they don't make them to fit the Raptors. No "0" offset wheel in 6-135.

Love this setup. what lift package do you have on your truck? I have the half ton, but the rake is exactly what I want. I would have to have a smaller tire as well, but generally speaking this is exactly how I want my truck to look.

Thanks

Thanks man. It’s jusr a torsion key leveling kit with a 2” drop shackle in the rear.

Yea but 37” .....that’s 4.56 territory

It runs pretty good with the stock 35s. I’m sure it will affect it somewhat, but I wouldn’t think very much. Guys on the FRF forums say you don’t really notice it.. guess I’ll find out.

I have these 18” Methods for sale, but I don’t think they will fit the raptor. They are off my Tundra that I traded in. They let me keep the tires too. Michelin 275/65/18.

not knocking your guys taste but all of them look cheesy... i see them all over the place and they seem just like some plain as shit for being "custom" wheels ... sounds like the raptor has a limited selection because of its offset which would be tuff on wheel selections also.. just my 2cents dont shoot me what the hell do i know i roll a caddy on 24's:p

Appears you have a Gen1 Raptor. You expecting any rubbing with the 37's and mid-perch?
