White looks good. I’d maybe add some graphics at bottom or maybe paint bottom a different darker color similar to factory two tone F150. I’ve never been a fan of one solid color truck. That’s why I bought graphics for my solid CG. I am having second thoughts and may just two tone mine as the graphics haven’t arrived yet. Going to just tape them to side and see. May just end up posting them on eBay if I don’t like the look. Like your wheels much better than my factory 18s.

Yeah, I’ve thought about that, possibly some Le Mans blue accents. I’m a sucker for that combo.

I agree about the wheels. The XLT wheels are actually a pretty nice design for a stock wheel, and definitely better looking than anything else they offer on the Maverick. I only wish they were a shade lighter in color. They are better than black wheels, which I hate, but still blend in a little with the tires, which I don’t like either.
They look better in these pics with the sun shining off them than they do in darker, shadier, environments.

The Lariat wheels aren’t as interesting. For some reason, Fords “premium” truck wheels always look a bit blingy to me. It‘s like they try to mimic the Escalade/Navigator look which I don’t think looks good on a truck. Plus, clearcoat aluminum is kinda passé.

Had I been able to purchase a Lariat I would have seriously considered trading the Lariat wheels/tires for the XLT ones.
I bet you could find someone here who would trade their XLT units for yours.

What color graphics are you thinking of for your CG?

How do you like those Goodyears? Are those the 3 peak rated A/T's or M/T's? What are you running them on?

Maybe my eye cones are worn out...sometimes I see a slight blue cast to the gray,,,whatever it is , I like it.

They are the STOCK continental tires. I have had no issue. 40,400 miles. Seem to have lots of life left. I rotate them every oil change, at 10k miles.

ROFLMAO...oh ok...those are sasquatch stock 35" tires for my bronco...only have 2200 miles on them, but I love them. They are very quiet and comfortable.

Looks more like a sickly Avalanche TBH.

They are black run just under the bottom body line and are supposed to be about 6 inches wide and have 2.0 Turbo cut out in them. I got them yesterday but didn’t open package as I was getting read for a trip to the smoky mountains over in north Georgia. Which were I’m at tonight. Those steep mountain road play heck with fuel mileage. First tank I got 34.9mpg and that was half flat terrain and other half rolling hills last tank only about 40 miles so far but it was all up and down steep grades in the smokies, cluster is showing 27.4mpg. Update: I picked black as my tailgate lettering is black. So those black XLT wheels would look great on my mav. I rather have 17s too so then I could add a bit larger tire so I’d get more contact patch and a bit more side wall for a less harsh ride but the tires would be same circumference so speedo wouldn’t be affected.
