Replica raptor wheels
Does anyone have experience with the 20" raptor replica wheels?
I have a lift on my truck and the 17" factory raptor wheels won't work. I love the looks of the raptor wheels, just trying to figure out another option.

Replica 20's or Wheel Spacers. I've been looking it the Raptor Wheels also, I'm just worried that it will be too Raptor for my application.
I heard A lot of good things. The Price is better than asking price for actual Raptor rims.
My opinion but I've noticed that OEM Rubber bought that comes with Brand New Vehicles are not of the same quality that you'll get from the Manufacture. My wife's 2008 Ford Edge with Michelins only lasted 20,000 miles. Michelins are a Quality Tire, Normally. I started asking friends all of who have purchased NEW vehicles and most have said the same thing.
My Observation is if you purchase OEM rims from someone on say...Craigslist DO NOT PAY for the rubber. Only has 10,000 miles... The Rubber WILL NOT LAST.
OEM Rims - $750 depends on area.
OEM Rims and OEM Rubber - $1500
OEM Rims and Aftermarket Rubber - $1500
If anyone is selling OEM Rims & Rubber I apologies, I've just seen too many people burned.
Myself I'll be installing Barricade Fender Flares, Raptor Grille Lights.
I Love the Raptor Look...
I Really Love My Harley Davidson Edition...
Personally I want it too Lean towards a SVT Factory Moded F-150.
Back on subject... The Replica Rims seem to be Quality Rims, No Quality issues that I've seen, I've been looking around for a bit.

No direct experience but was considering a set of 20" Chrome or PVD Raptor knock off wheels. Found the source in Mesquite Texas from eBay.

A buddy of mine bought the 20s off ebay and put them on a chevy (oddly enough) and they've been holding up great! No issues in finish wear and he takes it off road/ power washes it quite a bit. I'll try and get some pictures when I see him again.
