21" Edge ST wheels installed on BAP Alto Blue Hybrid

Agree, wish I could go back and order it in that color.

I went from blue to silver. Blue looks great when it’s clean, silver is easier to keep clean

What % tint do you have on your windshield? Same on both trucks?

Debating if I want to tint mine or not.

Rotating mass is roughly three times harder to accelerate than sprung weight. This means that dropping just 10 pounds per wheel with the addition of a lighter set of racing-oriented wheels would equate to a reduction of almost 120 pounds of sprung weight. Obviously, heavier wheels do the opposite. I tracked several tanks before and after and also lost about 5-6 mpg

Thanks for all that information. My mpg hasn't changed. If I lost 5 to 6 mph , I would be getting 12 mpg with my Maverick. That's crazy.

Ecoboost might not take as big as a hit as hybrids. I mean im still getting 40mpg so im not complaining.

35%, yes same in both but the sides and rears weren’t as dark on the blue truck

I still get around 40, so I’m not complaining

Mave-Rick was kind enough to provide the spacers he used. I purchased the same ones. Used on rear only.

Curious did you order the 6mm or the 12mm?

I found some rims for a good price.

Perfect thank you

6mm

Did you also have to go with longer wheel studs?

No, there is still adequate thread engagement with the 6mm spacer.

Thanks. Ordered a set of those spacers.

Best-looking-wheels-ever.

WOW

Ran my first full tank of gas with the new wheels and mpg on the lie-o-meter was 40.6. Could be off some (low) due to tire size difference but still plenty good for me.

Stock wheels/tires I was getting around 45.

Wheels are still great! No issues with the spacers at all. Put about 18k miles on them already. Only downside is I'm not getting 46mpg anymore. Does 36-42 depending on weather.

Looks even better with tint! Just need a lowering kit now!
