Anyone else wish the Raptor wheels looked better?
I might be the only one, but I don't like either of the Raptor wheels; previous model or 2017. The 2017's are even worse looking and are smaller. I'm sure Ford can make a great looking design that is also practical for off-roading. I can see why people change their wheels and get something better looking. These Fuel Assaults look much better than stock.

To each their own. Those fuels look so much better IMO. There are better wheels so as these but I was giving an example. These look better but the first are still better than stock.

Looks like rice has hit the Raptor world.

Looks are subjective...personally I think that first set is, well, horrid.
Both of those Raptors with those wheels have diminished the use of the truck. 20" wheels so less tire, huge offset so tires stick out and can't tuck when using the truck for it's intended use.
Granted, most Raptors are pavement pounders that never see dirt, and big wheels won't hurt the majority of the owners but....The best set of wheels on a Raptor IMO are either factory or a 17x8.5 Method wheel.
