Default 2018 Raptor Beadlocks

EDIT - $1000 OBO, all reasonable offers considered. If you're interested, don't be afraid to reach out.

Selling a set of 4 brand new Raptor beadlock takeoffs. Tires are NOT included - WHEELS ONLY. No TPMS, but center caps included. These wheels have never seen public roads - the Raptor came off the transport truck and rolled directly into the dealer's onsite custom shop for new wheels/tires. When I inspected the wheels I did notice a slight scuff on one of them (picture included) that's probably from the dealer taking them off, but rather than touch it up and hide it I just decided to leave it and let the new owner either repair or it just drive it as is (honestly, you can't even see it from 2 feet away - I only noticed when cleaning the wheels).

I am located in Kansas City, and I REALLY do not want to ship (for my protection and yours), but am willing to deliver/meet within a decent radius for gas costs (which would be less than shipping anyway). Let's say anything within 5 hours or about 300 miles is fine for me. PM with any questions. Thanks.

Wish I hadnt just bought new wheels and tires. Would have picked these up in a heart beat with you being so close. Good luck on the sale!

Thanks - hoping they sell fast and to a forum member. They're awesome wheels, but preferred the non-beadlocks on my truck (hence why I just needed the tires). I'm just hoping to pass these on to someone who can use them.

I bought a set of non-beadlock Raptors. My truck has the chrome package, so the black wheels with chrome bumper/grille/handles clashed to me.

Bump. Price is OBO, so feel free to make a reasonable offer.

For those that don’t know, these are a forged wheel, so strength is never going to be an issue.

Update - willing to ship provided buyer pays for shipping. Wheels are getting dismounted Friday and will be ready for their new home.

Maybe this isn't the time to discuss this, but Raptor wheels are "beadlock" in name only.

Last week, I took my 2017 Raptor in for tire repair. A long screw punctured one and before it went flat, I drove it to a local Good-Year Center.
I doubted if they had the equipment to pop the tire, but it was worth a try.

When I asked the manager if they serviced beadlock tires, he said, "Sure. But those aren't actual beadlocks. That's just an ornamental ring designed to simulate beadlock. Take that off and it's just an ordinary rim underneath."

I looked closely at the other wheels and, sure enough, the rim just sits exposed along the edge of the beadlock-looking trim ring.

I'm not going to the Baja, so I'll live with just another FORD mirage...like the stereo-enhanced eco-boost engine roar & rumble.
