Along with your custom wheels don't forget about the lug nuts. I seen these U.S.A made AR Titanium lug nuts which sound and appear quit impressive, available in Raw Titanium or Black PVD. For myself, another wish list item for future mods... do I need them? nope, do I want them? Oh Ya! If you have these or seen in person let us know what you think.

The issue with anything AR is they cant deliver anything on time. There advertised lead times are a joke. Im at 26 weeks and counting on several parts from them that were "6-8 week lead time"

I've got a set on our 2Dr Bronco and another set that will be here next week for the Raptor. Quality is top notch. Did I really need them? Nah. Did I really want them? Heck yeah!

@Tye is right about the delivery times. I've bought a lot of stuff from AR and you have to accept going in that you'll be waiting a while for delivery since everything is basically made to order. I ordered the Raptor lug nuts in May and they will be delivered next week.

Are they noticeably lighter in weight over the OEM lug nuts? Post pics when you get them on your Raptor. :cool:

Watch this video and see the new Baja Built Lite Brite Outlaw wheels around the 15:20 minute mark!



I personally am loving these new wheels.... They said in the first round they didn't make the Bronco Raptor bolt pattern but it is coming! I'm pretty sure I will have a set of these!

Wow! Those look amazing! I may need some extra for office decoration! :cool:

Congrats on your purchase and thank you for weighing for us.
Thanks! They're strictly a nice-to-have item for me, but I'm happy with them.

While not an exact comparison, here's a Dorman single piece lug nut from my old Gen 1 Raptor for comparison. The AR nut is half the weight.

I believe these are the wheels @DesertChief has intalled on his Bronco Raptor as seen in his 2nd BROTM winning photo.

KMC Mesa Forged Monoblock with knurled beadseat, designed to prevent de-beading and tire slippage while running tires off-road at a low PSI. 17x8.5, 0 offset, 23.77 lbs. Available in 3 finishes, black, blue, and raw aluminum as seen below.

23 pounds is light! Is that the lightest Bronco Raptor wheel so far?
Close, the Titan7 comes in at 20.4

Stock lugs are 89 grams or 0.196 pounds. So 6x0.046=0.276 lb per wheel. Not huge weight savings, but every bit counts.

KMC IMPACT FORGED BEADLOCK, 17x9, +25mm or 0 or -12mm offset, ~27 lbs.

Could use some of those AR Teton TI lug nuts... The bright silver looks good with the custom painted or powder coated Code Orange rings.

Got a set of these coming in the next few weeks. Innov8 G600 in satin black w/ a gloss techlight ring. They are a 4.5 backspace. I told them I wanted some poke, but not sticking out like 3 inches on each side. Should look good considering IMHO the 12.5" tires on these are just a touch too thin for how wide the vehicle is. It only really bugs me from the rear view and the 13.5" tires I have seen folks put on these look perfect if you ask me. I will also be doing 1.5"F and 2.25"R RPG collars and wrapping them in a 38x13.5x17 Falken Wildpeak RT. I'll post some pics of the install since we are going to test for full stuff with the wheel straight and turned to see if they actually clear all over. It is nice to think that if you jump it or need the room that the wheel will be completely straight all the time. I have seen some pics of 39's fitting at full stuff, but the wheel is totally straight from what I can tell. I just don't want to lose performance if I can help it. It may not clear at full stuff turned considering the stock BFG is 36.5" and these will be 37.8". Guess we will find out.

Those great! I'm anxious to see them bolted up to your Braptor with the 38s!

Sorry to bug you. Do you happen to have any other pics of those tires from the front and rear view? I have the exact same ones on the way for mine with some Innov8 G600's as well and just wanted to see how they looked all around. I figured it would be a great tire and lack the MT road noise. You liking them so far?
