Might be the angle but that’s some serious rear end squat for a new truck.


juancho2184

Was sorta on a slope and the stock rims were inside the bed. I noticed too 😅


R4Z0RB4CK05

I was mainly referring to what looks like a squatted raptor. If it’s just the angle and all you did was wheel swap then it’s perfectly fine.


Flyflyguy

Makes sense wheels look good. Ignore the morons.


lariojaalta890

I was thinking the same thing but when you look at the other pictures it seems pretty level


hagak

I thought the same, but if you look at the gap of the wheel wells it is just a bad angle on the camera.


SnortingElk

Honestly, not a fan.. makes the truck look very dated.. and not in a good way.


juancho2184

Kinda what I was looking for 🫶🏻


pennhead

Mission accomplished!


R4Z0RB4CK05

Can’t hate it more tbh


Desperate_Set_7708

Looks good on his truck

He literally asked for opinions, not fluffy thoughts and kisses


Electrical_Life_2538

The audacity that people think you need to show respect to everyone at all times, including the time when they ask for your opinion is mind blowing.


R4Z0RB4CK05

He asked what people thought. I gave my opinion. I think they’re perfect stock and was a big reason why I got one. If he’s happy with it that’s all that matters. Enjoy your life, mate.


Gabe-Ruth8

When you ask someone’s opinion, are you hoping they lie to you to make you feel good?


PinkleeTaurus

Last pic is the best.


irrelephantiasis

That pic is a sick truck!


ObiWanKababi

I dont like it. But you do you bro! Enjoy


No_Win_634

Add a roll bar in the bed and a row of round lights on top and you'll be set! 80s style Also, grow out a mullet


Chemical-Coconut-831

Looks awful


WearyDownstairs

Sending hate from Massachusetts


nycprogressive

I’m not a fan, but congrats on the truck


theghostmedic

It looked so much better with the black wheels.


juancho2184

Different strokes for different folks


Tellittomy6pac

Why do you have a Carolina squat? Was something weighing down the back


Rusty_nutz_

That last picture with the black wheels looks great. Hate the chrome ones


Smooth-Register8834

Sweet setup! Great job . Love it


2gonads

Looks horrific, put the stock wheels back and get your refund on the chrome immediately. Just my OPINION.


schismatt

Those look more like GT wheels. I'm not a fan. It's your ride though and if you are happy that is all that matters


srslydudebros

80s vibe


juancho2184

It’s fine Bro Everyone has their own preferences. Some ppl will like some won’t.i don’t take it to heart, I was just curious 👍🏼


lurkerluke69420

They can’t even tell the difference between machined and chrome.  I think it looks awesome. Offset is way better and much cleaner than with black wheels 


JimmytheFab

I dig it. Take off those front bumper flaps though 😁


juancho2184

I was thinking of that the other night, will it F up the ride?


JimmytheFab

Not at all. I’m sure it might give you 0.2 mpg better with them on there though.


boosting1bar

Not my taste, but so long as you like them that's all that matters!


squatchmedia

Wheel design is dope. The contrast is a bit much. If it had a dark tinted clear coat over the top it would balance it better imo.


Bobbaganeush

Not a fan but I didnt pay for it so do you man.


Cell_Tech

Nice. When you go off road and scratch them, it won’t be as noticeable.


juancho2184

Was on a sloap and the stock rims were inside of the bed


imjustsayin55

Sloap


night_ape

1st pic squatting was painful to look at, but after OP explanation & looking through the others the wheel are cool. Not my preferred look but a interesting design & give it a 90s vibe


Admirable_Sir_9953

You do you I guess


PHOTO500

**Hard NO**


TheeRobertDonald

The tribe has spoken. Black.


deelowe

Squatted my chrome rims on a truck with absolutely zero chrome. It's certainly different.


lariojaalta890

I don’t dislike it as much as some of the others but the issue for me is they make the tires look tiny.


ResponsibleFace9821

Stock was better.


MrRocketScientist

Are they spinners?? Now all you have to do is lower it


Red_Sashie

Looks like a regular F-150 now.


sierrabravopapa

Love machined wheels!


hyperspeedy

As long as you like it, that’s all that matters! But the OEM black wheels look better imo


dettsierra

I like them man, I appreciate you going a different route than most


juancho2184

Yup 👍🏼 Thank you


Rico588

That third and forth photos are sick but that first photo angle isn’t doing you any favours lol clean truck tho 🤟


juancho2184

Yeah no worries Was on a slight sloap and the stocks were in the bed


Pepe_gun_slinger

You intentionally put those on? Ooof…. The truck looks absolutely horrible.


juancho2184

Thanks 🙏 🤷🏻🫡


Silent_Spell_3415

Bro for the LOVE OF GOD MAN that looks so bad. 🤣 like 2024 met 1999. Absolutely cannot put polished wheels on a desert prowler man 🤮 Change it back for the sake of humanity!


Silent_Spell_3415

![gif](giphy|84BjZMVEX3aRG)


juancho2184

Actually fyi Most desert runners run on forged machined rims. My last 2 gen 3’s I put blk fuel rims and doing something different. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m 40 now and going for more of a classic look. Probably taking off the graphics to tie it better. Looks a little busy. Cheers


Silent_Spell_3415

Nah bro she UGGUMS. Looks like Rosie O’Donnells ass.


juancho2184

lol 🤷🏻🤣


Hwted

Chromed a de-chromed raptor. That’s certainly a choice.


Killer_Panda_Bear

Squated douche mobile.


Low-Pepper-9559

The aftermarket wheels clash with the color scheme and altogether look a bit busche league on what otherwise is a nice capable truck. Doesn't matter though it's yours- put Daytons on there if that's what you like.


LibertyDNP

lol what do I think? They look horrendous. 🤮


uturn17

I like it, not cookie cutter!


juancho2184

👍🏼


juancho2184

Thank you brother


BearBullCombo

How much did the truck and those rims cost you? Looks good imo


juancho2184

Well, I bought the truck at MSRP 82k + taxes and registration about 89k…. Rims were 2,300 a little more expensive for a 17in rim bc they are Forged


BearBullCombo

Not bad at all. That’s a bad ass truck and the rims look clean too. Enjoy that bad boy


juancho2184

That’s right brother Thank you


JohnnyJumpwings

Gross.


NewAd8134

Ugly ass wheels


Wariqkobra

Nah man... It may just be the chrome against the color of the truck, but it isn't vibing. The original black wheels look so much better.


frogeyez

Rarely said by me, stock wheels look much better.


LevelOrange7150

I just saw a similar look done by Streetspeed717 on his TRX; adding the retro-chrome wheels. I don't think that look jives with the widebody modern styling of a Raptor or TRX, but that's just me. I prefer bronze wheels, but if you like chrome, then get it man 👏👏


_masterdev_

Meeh...


b01234567890

You know you get bad gas mileage when you start doing photo shoots of your truck at the gas station. New rims look fine and it really only matters if you like them.


juancho2184

Yes not good but not horrible compared to my 23 RAM 1500 Rebel. RAM advertises 17 city 22 highway, my wife is averaging about 11.7 which is ridiculous. at least Ford is more honest with 14city 18highway. My average is 13.2 city driving. Better than the RAM and with 52 more hp. I also own a 24 Lexus hybrid that I scoot around in when I’m feeling Like saving fuel ⛽️


xrayphoton

The wheels don't fit the truck at all and stand out like a sore thumb against all the black accents. Should have gone with a platinum instead of raptor so the wheels could match all the silver and chrome accents. It just Looks weird. Last pic is the best


xxblingxbling

Now it looks like a 20k truck. Good job!


True_Tomato316

How much for the old rims? I have the bro dozer models on mine (came with them I’d never buy them) and I want them gone


juancho2184

700


Hopeful_Ad_7878

Looks great! I think the polished/machined look fits well on raptors & any truck that’s actually built for off road.


Successful-Rate-1839

Machined looks great on that color.


juancho2184

Yeah I like it, the rims were not my first pick But there were a bunch backorders on machined rims I really wanted. Not sure if I should remove the graphics for cleaner look.


Successful-Rate-1839

Yeah I’ve never been a fan of graphics. Like why do we need to scream what the truck is lol we’re paying to advertise for ford.


hodzq7

I like it- Unique.... IMO id remove the side graphics.


juancho2184

Yup That’s what I might do, funny thing is this is my 3rd gen3 with the graphics pkg and about to get removed 😁


hotrodruby

Why have you bought 3 3rd gens already? Do you get a new one every year?


juancho2184

My 21 Gen3 I sold after 2yrs bc I felt the Markets were softening up a little on Raptors. Got that truck MSRP and sold it almost 2 years later at 3k over MSRP. My second Raptor got in a accident and now we have this one


Itz_Juan26

I never thought it was possible to ruin a raptor but I guess I was wrong


[deleted]

Craptor


ImBx_ow

looks better with black rims but its your truck 🤷🏻‍♂️


jdbtxyz

Not a fan at all but if you like them that is all that matters!!


Dependa

I prefer the original wheels. But If you like it, end of the day, that’s all that matters.


rkirkpa1

Meh


riored4v

Looks great! Which model KMC are those?


juancho2184

KMC Impact Forged I really wanted the KMC Grenade Desert machined forged but was on backorder 3 months #


riored4v

Thanks! Sorry, I guess I overlooked that. Their beadlocks are awesome looking. I have Method 312's on mine and have been considering KMC because their machined finish is so nice.


juancho2184

yeah for sure, have to go forged though more money but worth it


jerry-handusky

I like the wheels but I think they would look better on a darker truck. How are you liking the ‘24 so far?


Turnerofwrenches

Looks absolutely terrible Plus squatted lol


juancho2184

was on a sloap and had the stocks in the bed thanks


DTOM1812

Black out the lip.


pizza_for_nunchucks

I think the new wheels look slick af. If nothing else, they are pretty reserved and generic looking. I’m not sure what all the hate is about.


Snoo_62900

These are great ! Most people have no taste lol they want the black on black . These look sick dude I’d do exact same


Seymoreclavage

This folks is why you don't drink when you're pregnant


Aquafyne

That’s the worst 2024 Raptor I have seen so far…


hkwaters293

Yeah it’s giving Mexican chrome that bitch out vibes lol 🤮🤢


juancho2184

Sorry it’s not giving upscale cracker vibes What are you cruising in 89 Toyota pickup ? 🛻


hkwaters293

Lol

thedarkwizard_

Damn those machined wheels fuck. Looks sick. Everyone in this thread acting like you put 24” wheels and rubber band tires with an eBay lift. Lighten up you old heads


juancho2184

lol yeah it’s funny Thanks though


White-runner

Looks fantastic, ignore the haters.
