Tech: Ford F150 Raptor beadlock wheels

The Ford F150 Raptor is a beast. This pick up is produced alongside the "civilian" f150 in the same factory's production lines. It is meant to take the desert high speed runs and climb anything that the 6.2L V8 with 411 Horses and 434 foot pound of torque. 
In 2013 the truck received minor enhancements under the skin and few noticeable outside.

They are called Beadlock wheels and Ford describes them as:

Beadlock wheels secure the edges of a tire to the wheel between two surfaces so the tire is unlikely to roll off the rim if it's aired down to very low pressure, providing extra grip on the trail.

They pretty much increase the off road limits of the truck.

The beadlock is not something new in the off road market, but definitely is the first time the manufacturer includes them in the stock package of the vehicle.
