It's alright, the only reason I know is cause of my job. But I'd have to think that most Raptor wheels on the market have to be '10-12s

I only know because I saw them online looking for wheels awhile back. The grey ones are nice, but considering my truck, it might be a bit too much grey going with them. Not to say that I wouldn't buy a set if I got a deal like the OP did.

I know, damn, $250 for brand new wheels?! And tires for 17's are cheap compared to my 20's. I'd buy em and have them painted black, but leave the shiny lip

Ok so I had them installed yesterday and they look awesome. I got some BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain T/A 265/70R17 with the wheels. Trading in my old tires and installation of everything was $300 + $250 for the wheels. I still have my old wheels and the tire sensors from the Raptor wheels I can sell so it'll be less than that soon enough.

My girlfriend however is a little mad I spent so much money but she doesn't realize the deal I got haha but I think they give my truck a much different look than the OEM wheels

That looks good! And those are the same tires I've got, I like em! The girlfriend is just gonna have to get used to it. I told my ex from day 1 that my truck is my baby that gets all my money, and that she comes second with guy like us, they just have to get over it

Now I do put her ahead though cause she's been with me longer than the truck. She just doesn't like that I went and did this when I said I would save my money for school in a couple of weeks but this was just too good a deal to pass up.

Also I still have my stock wheels and the tire sensors off the Raptor wheels. How much should I try and sell them for?

I'd put em on Craigslist for $250-300 OBO and take the first $200.

I was being a bit sarcastic though. As much as I love my truck, there are some things she can't do that the girlfriend can

And how about the sensors? They won't go with the wheels so I'd sell them separately. I got a bet with my girlfriend cause she didn't believe that I would break even/make a profit with what I did. All in all it was $550 for everything, and I said if I got $450 back she'd have to buy me a nice dinner. I've been looking on ebay and I've seen Ford tire sensors go for over $100 for a set but I couldn't find any for Raptors. Are they general sensors that can go on others besides the Raptor?

Wouldn't think that the Raptors would have their own special sensors, but I honestly don't have a clue. I don't know a thing about them
