The Ford oem wheels take on a whole new look when you mount the optional bead locks. I have them on also. I can’t see myself ever going to aftermarket wheels. They look that good to me.
@@kevinbachor6019 dang no it’s just a round piece of cardboard I cut out and wrote the specs and sequencing on. The torque sequence is on line at ford performance.
The red dot on the tire that you line up with the stem, do you do the same with the yellow dots too? Or any? I typically do the same, but if the weight gets crazy on the balancer sometimes i find putting it across from the valve stem can help. Ive heard both from different tire reps at work
The explanation… The Yellow Dot When tyres are made, they are almost never perfectly balanced, and most manufacturers will place a yellow dot on the section of the tyre where there is least weight. When fitting a tyre, you should line up this yellow dot with the valve stem as this is the heaviest point of the wheel. By aligning the lightest spot on the tyre with the heaviest point on the wheel, the tyre/wheel balance is as close to optimal as can be. So, you won’t use as many weights around the wheel to balance out the tyre and wheel. Fewer weights make for a more balanced wheel, which then means a quieter, more comfortable ride, and a longer-lasting tyre. The Red Dot In the same way that tyres are never perfectly balanced from the manufacturer, tyres are never perfectly round either, even when new. They have high and low points which occur where the belts are joined, and these points can cause vibrations when a tyre is rolling. The red dot indicates the tyre’s high point. Most of the time a wheel will also have a dot-either a drilled dot or a sticker to indicate its low point; if you have these marks, you should align the red dot with the mark on the wheel and ignore the yellow dot. By doing this you minimise the vibration caused by the high point of the tyre Red over Yellow If both red and yellow dots are visible on your tyre and you don’t have any dots or marks on your wheel, red takes precedence over yellow and you should align the red dot with the valve stem. Cancelling out the high point takes precedence over the lightest point of the tyre, which can be addressed with wheel weights.

I feel exactly the same! So much so that I have 2 sets, one for summer and winter respectively with tires mounted ready to go!
is that template anywhere you can share?

Do you have to rebalance the wheel after installing the bead lock?
@@ronsouza9309 I don’t but did on these because I was changing tire. But if just installing ring no.

I do the same as you. It’s a good starting point. When they have both red and yellow I do rock paper scissors 😂
The explanation…
The Yellow Dot
When tyres are made, they are almost never perfectly balanced, and most manufacturers will place a yellow dot on the section of the tyre where there is least weight. When fitting a tyre, you should line up this yellow dot with the valve stem as this is the heaviest point of the wheel. By aligning the lightest spot on the tyre with the heaviest point on the wheel, the tyre/wheel balance is as close to optimal as can be. So, you won’t use as many weights around the wheel to balance out the tyre and wheel. Fewer weights make for a more balanced wheel, which then means a quieter, more comfortable ride, and a longer-lasting tyre.
The Red Dot
In the same way that tyres are never perfectly balanced from the manufacturer, tyres are never perfectly round either, even when new. They have high and low points which occur where the belts are joined, and these points can cause vibrations when a tyre is rolling. The red dot indicates the tyre’s high point. Most of the time a wheel will also have a dot-either a drilled dot or a sticker to indicate its low point; if you have these marks, you should align the red dot with the mark on the wheel and ignore the yellow dot. By doing this you minimise the vibration caused by the high point of the tyre
Red over Yellow
If both red and yellow dots are visible on your tyre and you don’t have any dots or marks on your wheel, red takes precedence over yellow and you should align the red dot with the valve stem. Cancelling out the high point takes precedence over the lightest point of the tyre, which can be addressed with wheel weights.
How much do you want for them?
Trade for 2023 R or 37PP wheels
But the stock raptor r has beadlocks
Why you get aftermarkets
@@ASYS-x1b we didn’t. I don’t like aftermarket bead locks. These are OEM Ford Raptor bead locks 🙌
@sterlingswildwest yes I was wrong
I'm sorry
@ heck no worries at all 🙌
We're gonna throw these beadlocks away, anybody want's them give us so good rims you can have them lol.
Location?
