i wanted to but im not the hugest fan of the factory raptor rims. if im going to pay for new rims im going to get something more my style... (i love the 20 inch FX2 sport rims in black) might be a problem with the 35 inch tires not rubbing but i honestly dont know.

cant wait to see them on your truck!

That should look pretty nice! Post a picture once you have them installed.

I can't wait either... LOL...

These had 2,000 miles, included lugnuts and cost me $1000.... couldn't pass up the deal. The rubber alone was worth more than that.

Color me jealous . Only ones for sale near me are $$1550
I agree with the other guy too I'm not too hurt since I also like the stock 20'' fx2 rims (funny how the dealer only had the 18''s )

I actually had a sinister plan to target people selling their fx2s and ask to barter for their rims. I have a feeling they would dismiss me but it wont hurt to try, I've only seen them for sale once for a grand. Never again ...

those rims look awesome...subscribing to see some pics. I finally saw a Raptor in person and didn't like it, but the goodies on it would look great on a normal F-150.


FYI for you guys liking stock rims. eBay. I've seen many OEM rimsets with tires go for under $1000 lately. I've been trying to get my grubby little hands on the OEM 22" Harley rims for a few months now. Shipping keeps killing the deal. But for y'all on the mainland...some great prices are to be had

i never seem em on eBay so far... chould have always missed them...http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_i...0012_large.jpg

i wonder if i can buy OEM raptor parts like im trying to fix mine... could be a cheaper way to put a raptor front suspension on my 07 than just buying a raptor... doubt it

That sucks. I hate having upgrades just sitting around taunting me while I wait to find the time to install them.
