Does anyone know where I can find Braid wheels for sale in the US? I'd like find some for a Ford raptor.

just looked them up, their website actually has a where to buy link with a list of US dealers, not sure how accurate it is- the site looks pretty dated

If you are in the US, go straight to the US importer, Paul Eddleston. He's a good guy.

Except for a few rally models, nobody in the US stocks them. And for the most part, they are custom built to your bolt pattern, offset and color. You'll want to deal with the person as high up the chain as you can, which is Paul.
Our racecar fabrication shop offer Braid, among some other brands. I've also used their wheels for rally. They tend to be overbuilt and slightly heavy compared to other aluminum wheels. Which for offroad racing or truck use is just fine.
The wheels are reasonably priced. The finish is very good for the price. They are made in Spain and you either get a choice of waiting ages until the next container of stock wheels comes over, or you pay about $100 per wheel for air shipping. So far our custom built wheels have all been finished in about 3.5 weeks and in our hands a couple days later.

And as an aside, Braid supply the wheels to Singer for their amazing Porsche rebuilds.

Just saw this thread. Hit me up for any questions. paul@braidusa.com.
We don not sell Singer wheels but do have one if not the best competition Fuchs replica wheel on the market, hence the confusion.
We do sell wheels to many DAKAR teams hence the overland sales we are seeing. All fitments are possible as we make almost everything to customer specs in just a few weeks.

Braid makes a similar looking high quality cast wheel, but the Singers actually use forged wheels made by Fikse.

Actually, BRAID's Fuchs style wheel is not cast but "semi-forged".
FIKSE: "These 3 piece wheels have a blind fastened forged center ...."
