Looks great! I still have a set of these myself that I haven’t put to use.

Finally found a set of these local to me for super cheap, mounted some 245/70R17 Kumho Road Venture AT2 tires I got from @DMVRunner and happy with how they look. Going to keep this setup for winter and when I decide to do anything that would warrant a more offroad oriented tire. Have a set of Ford center caps on order that I think will make them look even better.

OK color me green. I saw a photo of these wheels with the caps removed and that's the way I'd go.

It's a very subtle difference but it definitely is a big improvement to me to have the Ford center caps. Took me four tries purchasing the center caps due to cheap chinese junk counterfeit parts on ebay and Amazon. I don't understand why anyone would buy oil filters or other crucial parts from either of those sources.

That was the item but it doesn't seem like the seller has any more. When you look for these make sure they have the little ridge on the flange of the cap. All of the chinese knock off parts don't have it and won't fit right.

These are the legit Ford OEM caps. These will fit. Notice the little ridge on the cap itself circled in red, that's what you need. Also notice how good the lettering and Ford logo are on the inside of the cap from the injection mold.

Now compare to this one, no ridge and just looks cheap. These are chinese knock offs and won't fit right. If they come packaged in a zip lock style bag with cheap hard plastic pouches they're fake. The genuince Ford parts come in a box and individually wrapped in much more flexible plastic.

center caps look similar

Yeah but to buy those direct from Ford is almost as much as I paid for the wheels themselves (they are $40 each and I paid $200 for the wheels).

lol I know, $25 each at hubcaphaven but no black, dark navy. I get 20% at Ford but still

Got a great deal on the wheels and tires, so I picked them up, transferred over the TMPS and bolted them up. I love the look!

Hi! this might sound like a weird question but did they simply just pop on or are there differences in the size of these rims (or offsets maybe?) vs the maverick rims? does anything extra need to happen to get them to fit? Thanks!

I'm running these too, they have the same exact specs as all of the OEM 17" Maverick wheels, same bolt pattern, offset, diameter, width and hub bore. They will bolt right on as if they were your stock Maverick aluminum wheels. The only thing I suggest is getting some appropriate lug nuts if you're replacing steel wheels.

Thank you!! I will definitely do that if the sale goes through im hoping for.

to anyone still interested in this setup there is also another option but it requires a bit of creativity to swap out the the actual 54mm cap part.. but here’s the alternative product:
