Borbet Wheels Type Y and Type W on Mavericks

[JennyJoannSuebeeMcNash]

That would be nice. Thank you.

I know when I go to Patrick Space Force Base which is right on the ocean. My vehicle gets covered in salt takes about 30 minutes. You can see the salt blowing over A1A when the wind is coming off the ocean. Looks like a light fog.

I live 3/10ths of a mile from the ocean. Wish I had a garage that could actually be USED (that's a whole other story.) My car on any given morning is a sopping wet mess. I'm going to have to be hyper-vigilant about the care of my Mav when it arrives. Had a 2002 Honda Civic that I traded in with 300K+ miles on it because my mechanic was tired of dealing with it. Between the 9-1/2 years of NY weather and road salt, combined with the new move to the beach, any time he tried to fix something, something else would break from the corrosion. Shame, really. The engine and tranny were solid on that car.

I get it. I came from Michigan so the road salt I'm very familiar with. Starting in mid 70's always had 4WD vehicle in the household. Preferred one with a transfer case. Was kinda surprised about the salt air when living close to ocean. Makes sense.
Not ever moving to anyplace its snows again. Love Florida !!

FL born and raised here, but lived in the Carolinas for five years and did a 9-1/2 year run in upstate NY near Rochester. Beautiful area, but the taxes and the snow were enough to drive one mental. Upstate NY has the general opinion that everything from Albany on up needs to be one NY, and everything south of Albany needs to be NYC. They're not exactly wrong with that perception.

It doesn't look like you can. I went to build your Maverick and it doesn't show.

You can get the FX4 package on a lariat

Always a good idea to keep the calipers painted. I paint the standard two piston calipers a flat aluminum color to keep them looking nice yet not stand out any more than when they were new. I also keep the hub of the rotors painted as well. I live far from the beach, BUT, I do live in a state where salt brine and road salt is almost a daily occurrence for 5 months out of the year and I get no rust. Chasing rust is a never ending battle in these climates.

Those wheels look good even with the Maverick's brake calipers. Any vehicle looks good in it's own right when it is properly maintained and well taken care of.

Cool, didn't show up on mine.

It’s odd tho, I swear i tried to build a lariat lux fx4 4x and it wouldn’t let me have both the lux and what I thought was fx4, but this one let me

Yeah, trying to build a lariat to answer your question it didn't show up for me either. I thought it did.

Borbet Type Y Wheels + BFG Trail Terrain A/T tires on Oxford White Maverick

Borbet Type W Wheels (17x7) on Area 51 Maverick

Do you know the the stock TPMS sensors fit the new wheels, or did you have to get different ones?

I got aftermarket ones on mine (ordered the whole package off tire rack and had them mount them in)

 

[BootXL76]

Not mine, but here’s the type W on a charcoal gray XL (from the Facebook group but we picked ours up at the same time from the same dealership)

Do you know if these will fit the mav?

YIKES!! but yes, it appears they would but they also appear “universal” in that they have two sets of mounting holes (for 5x108 and 5x114.3)…. Looks like they’re a 35mm offset so should be fine

Im about 4 miles from ocean. The exposed rotors and calipers never occurred to me. Thank you !!

It ain't the "openness" of the wheel, it's the moisture and salt from the environment. Even the OEM wheels don't prevent sand and spray from hitting the rotors. If you drive along the surf line be sure to stop at a self-service car wash when done and spray the wheels and undercarriage down reall well - actually the whole truck!
