A "Transit" solution to the Maverick steelies

[JJP]

FYI, BK21 is the engineering part number if the fourth digit in the prefix is Z that one is the service number.

I used to be able to just pull up the wheel drawings to match size. Don’t forget to think about center bore diameter, people often forget that.

One other note when looking for other OEM wheels you can look at Mazda and Volvo too since these are C1 and C2 based cars.

I don't know why so many people get bent out of shape about the steelies! Guess I am one of the few that like them.

I'd like a set for snows

The Transits, are just "Dressing Up" mine...

That's is what I will be doing with the 2nd set of "Steelies" that I picked up, just a few months ago...

That's what I thought too, so I quickly ponied up to buy new rims (see my profile photo), but I kept the steelies as winter rims (a necessity up here). I found the silver jarring with CG, so I painted them with Dupli-Color Wheel Coating in Graphite. For my taste, this was now acceptable and not even half-bad. I think the problem with the steelies is mostly the sparkle silver, which only "works" IMO with iconic silver.

Yeah, the sparkle eventually got to me, so I replaced them with Bronco Sport take-offs.

Although they don't look as cool as the Transit caps, the center caps from a Transit Connect fit with no modifications and can be ordered from your local ford dealer. Part Number: DT1Z1130A.

As mentioned previously in this thread the steelies work best with iconic silver and that's what I ordered. I am drawn to body color wheels and painted my wife's Soul wheels white to match the body. I would do the same with a white Maverick. I don't care for black wheels as the details are lost and there's no contrast between wheel and tire. Why they're popular beats me.

Or hear me out…

Hub caps

Peekaboo, I see you steelie.
