Just completed all my light Mods-

Dark bronze chrome- wheels, and skid plate/ceramic tent/paint protection/decals removed. Wanted the clean look…

I’ll paint the lower bumper black this weekend and it will be complete.

Looks great, the bronze wheels look really good with the green color.

Love it! Huge fan of bronze wheels and looks really good with CGM. I want them but I like mine to much too change them.

Really outstanding job you did there. Brave man going right at a $65k + purchase without any doubt or fear.

Put the caps on!

Awesome, I need to photoshop your wheels onto my shelter green. I've been debating powder coating the OEM wheels bronze or going aftermarket.

I think bronze looks better on shelter green than any other RR color.

Can we talk about how clean that garage is my man?

I have used those aluminum valve stems before with disastrous results. Because of dissimilar metals, they froze on and couldn’t be removed to air down. I brought the truck to a tire shop in Moab and they had to drill the stems off!

Please learn from my mistake and go back to plastic caps!

Like what you’ve done, BTW!

I have the same internal debate as you.
Ultimately I wanted as much wheel showing as possible and a lot of aftermarket wheels have a fake lip which reduces that look. I don’t need beadlock wheels (as most don’t) and after watching and listing the rally truck racers tell me to keep my +55 offset for a ton of reasons- I decided PC was the way to go.

Thanks for the heads up-
I have a whole off-road kit for the truck before I get crazy with her and I’ll put plastic stems in there as well.

Got another pro tip before off-roaring the Raptor. Plasty dip cans! Coat the wheels and sides skirts and it really helps as a protectant, then just peel it off after the trip.
