Those look good! Not sure if i would have painted the ring or not but still looks good. You scored on the price too! Cant wait to see what these look like on your truck. Whats the offset on those?

The ring that they come with is called a beauty ring and leaves the wheel DOT approved, it does not clamp to the tire. This is what he painted. You have to get the Ford Racing beadlock rings. Under the beauty ring is twelve more holes for a total of 24. Those rings cost $150 each if you shop and do clamp to the tire and gives you true beadlock but in that configuration it is for off-road use only and not DOT approved. There are people that drive on them anyways all the time, just got to check the bolts every so often.

That was a decent price for what he got. I paid $1200 for a set of 5 wheels, no tires and I thought I got a decent deal.

In reflection, I was being snooty by my comment last night...

Although I was aware of DOT rules on highway usage, I didn't know how Raptor SVT beadlocks circumvent that with those beauty rings. Thanks for clarifying!

You need to spend the $50 and get the black lug nuts from Gorilla now to finish the look.

Looks great!

I think the red nuts on the ring would look better to tie in the red accents

I'd have to find red bolts, or even anodized aluminum bolts. The paint did not hold up to being bolted, and once it chips it looks terrible.
