Has anyone tried Mustang Mach-E Wheels or wheels from other platforms?

[Zeke88]

I'm not trying to bash anyone's builds, but there aren't that many good looking Mavericks in my opinion. All the knockoff 17-18" wheels look like they're from Walmart. Maybe it's just the Maverick demographic but I figured we'd see some better examples by now. At least some of the builds on here are far better than what was at SEMA.

I have seen a lot of Ford edge wheels being swapped but are there any other better options from different platforms?
Here are RTR Mach-E wheels photoshoped on the Mav. I snoop on their forum, and the Mach-E owners seem to have tried everything under the sun.

I think it is a budget thing. I don't mean to knock people's personal taste, but I tend to agree. There are some pretty questionable wheel and mod choices on these. If you look there are plenty of solid choices for wheels. But the better the option the bigger the cost. I have seen wheel sets for these at $4k and I just don't see many in here dropping that kind of coin. I found some wheels I am pretty happy with, but with tires too they are going to be about $2k. For me that's enough on something that I bought specifically to be a budget driver and considering I still need to do audio work too I don't want to get carried away throwing cash at mine.

You're probably right, I havent really taken budget into account. I'm just looking for decent options that slightly improve looks and performance while others may not be. I'm also not trying to single anyone out but some of these Mavericks looked better stock.

I paid just over $25k for this thing. I hated the steel wheels and found a set of Bronco Sport wheels/tires for $300 for the set and sold both sets of essentially brand new tires to upgrade to larger Michelins. For about $400 including the hyperdip I used to "paint" the wheels anthracite I have nicer aluminum wheels and really nice, larger Michelin tires. I heavily modded a Focus ST in a past life and I'll never spend that kind of coin modding a vehicle again, it's literally a waste of money and I'd rather put that money towards retirement. I think many owners have the same mentality and nice wheels are super expensive.

Look at Customoffsets.com They have some good options in my opinion without breaking the bank

The reason we got a Maverick is the pricepoint - period. If it weren't for my wife refusing to drive a vehicle without cruise control, there'd be an XL with steelies in our garage and it isn't my style to have $4k worth of rims and tires on a $24k truck. What's insane to me is that steelies for the Maverick are $120/piece (they were $45 piece for our other car a few years ago). If you look around you can find some semi-decent looking alloys that fit, that are much lighter in the $140/piece range (ie. Konig runlights - $132/piece https://www.discounttiredirect.com/buy-wheels/konig-runlite).

Thanks, I was actually just looking into Konigs.

I've definitely seen worse looking wheels. But for me, that style of wheel is much more suited to a lowered truck. Always to each their own. Taste in cars and mods varies so wildly from one owner to the next.

Really the best wheels around are BS Badlands ones if only they werent so dark. I just want some outlaw IIs or something.

I definitely agree, but I am just not willing to spend the money when there is no functional difference. If I was willing to spend $1k+ extra on wheels alone, without concern for weight (because they are probably heavier than stock), I'd be looking at method or alpha.
