Thanks! I had ordered a different one (tux black, no graphics, blue accents, no spray in) and while I waited for it to get there, dealer called and said that an SE rolled in and I could take a look if I wanted to. I said ****, why not, I'll take it for a spin. Ended up loving it minus the interior...was close to closing and kind of a bad day out so I said I'd think it over for the 4th. I stopped back in on the 5th and saw that the red was actually a very soft, brick red...not in your face like a fire engine red. made my choice right then and there.

Dearborn truck plant will be shutting down soon for changeover, 9/25. I believe it's the only one that makes the Raptor (?).

I saw that was the right choice. I really like the soft red accents.

So far man I'm loving it. I did take off the SE beadlocks and debating getting rid of all 5 (comes with an OEM spare rim as well) I just didn't like the offset on them...seemed a little close in for this beast. They are sweet though so they are some quality eye candy in the garage for now. It'll be a debate for a while. The methods I have on now give it a nice stance with the 0 offset.

Oh and I didn't forget that I owe you pictures. Soon...once I have some time to get her in a nice picturesque spot lol.

I really do like those wheels.... If I had the cash and rubber for them I might consider taking them off your hands...

I'll be waiting patiently here...

Haha. Well they'll be here if you're ever interested. Lotta guys have asked about them...just the wheels though since everyone has different preferences tire wise. I can say the duratracs seem to be smoother on the road than the bfgs. If I had any use for the beadlocks I would be more inclined to keep them..really they're just for looks. To use the actual beadlock is spendy...ya have to buy the rings from Ford at a premium. A lower offset would have made me likely stick with them though.

Offset may be wrong for a raptor, but they may be JUST RIGHT for an FX4!!!

Nice! They would look good. I think these were right in line with the fenders...maybe tucked in a little. I liked it pushed out a little bit. 0 might be a little far out. I'd imagine at full compression the fender flare taking a hit.

Damn I'm convincing myself again.... How you liking the 6.2?

haha, they are nice lol. 6.2 is great so far...it's a beast of an engine. not as quick as the eco, but still has it's pickup. gas mileage so far i can't tell. my eco had 10k on her and i got about 14.7 mpg combined. right now with only about 400 miles on the raptor, i am getting just under 11 mpg combined.
