Rim break in a Badlands

[efpg]

Hello. Has anyone had any issues with the quality of the stock rims? I cracked one on the inside with a small rock, and a friend with a Ranger Raptor had the same problem, also on the inside.
I'm thinking of buying the Bronco Raptor beadlock ones, but I don't know if they'll be the same quality…

I’d love to see a pic of that.

FYI the bolt pattern is different for the raptor wheels.

Great opportunity to add a spacer/adapter to put the wheels set out a little to protect the body. 1.5" should do the trick and adapt to the F-150/Bronco Raptor bolt pattern for under $200.

I didn’t know that the bolt pattern was different. Thanks.

These are the ones I wanted to buy, but if they don't fit in the badlands I'll have to look at another option.

ahhhehum... Hutchinson 17" Beadlock Wheels - Rock Monster 2534 (for Ford Bronco) – Jack Wagon Overlanding

I'm going to need to see these cracks caused by small rocks. Sounds dangerous if you and friends are running into these rocks, er, issues, that are causing wheels to break.

I looked forever, then read again that those are what he wants to buy, not pic of break

On the Ranger Raptor, it must have caught against the brake caliper and cracked the rim. On the Bronco, it took a small dent and is leaking air.
The odd thing is that it only happened to the two Fords in our group, no one else had any issues, which is why I was wondering if Ford's OEM rims are weaker.

Right, I will take a photo of the damage as soon as possible

I feel like ours have been put through some pretty rough stuff and have been impressed with how they’re holding up. But we don’t do any high speed bashing either.

I whanged the wheels (outside beaty ring) pretty darn hard on some decent sized rock and no issues at all other than some pretty deep gouges.

And expose your brakes, no thank you!

Gonna need way more than an inch and a half to expose brakes...
