More Looks @ Shadow Black Maverick Lariat FX4 + Black Wheels

And is there no way to purchase these wheels from Ford or from an owner that has since purchased different wheels for their Maverick?those are the unique FX4 package wheels
Sure you can get them directly from Ford, but they are very expensive right now. It's actually MUCH cheaper to just add the FX4 package. The market price of aftermarket wheels and tires alone covers what the package will cost you. All the other stuff is just gravy.And is there no way to purchase these wheels from Ford or from an owner that has since purchased different wheels for their Maverick?
The wheels are the only reason I ordered the FX4 package. Well I liked the looks of the exposed tow hooks also but 95% because of the wheels.Sure you can get them directly from Ford, but they are very expensive right now.

I will say that when you see them in person they look VERY sharp indeed. This truck looks pretty much exactly like what I ordered except I want the polished stainless letters which should pop on the black.
FX4 gives a couple of nice perks aside from the wheels. The bigger productivity screen is nice, so are the tow hooks and the frame component they attach to does not exist on non FX 4 models so you can't add them aftermarket. I've seen references to better rear shocks on FX4, too but can't find the link.The wheels are the only reason I ordered the FX4 package.

Yeah I forgot about the larger screen and yes the hooks are attached to the frame so there's that. Great points.FX4 gives a couple of nice perks aside from the wheels.

But the wheels are very, very nice and do a great job of showing off the disks.
I already ordered my hybrid Mav a month ago so I cannot get the FX4 model. I'm having a hard time even locating these wheels directly from Ford. I do not mind paying extra for them.Sure you can get them directly from Ford, but they are very expensive right now. It's actually MUCH cheaper to just add the FX4 package.

They may be out of stock. I've looked but couldn't figure out exactly which item was the right one. You can search part.ford.com but I would try calling the dealer first. Some of the wheels were like $1k EACH. If I were you I'd just try to find something similar on the aftermarket or watch the "for sale" section here. I know at least one member swapped his wheels and he can't be the only one.I already ordered my hybrid Mav a month ago so I cannot get the FX4 model.
