Lobo - To Turbofan or Not To Turbofan?

[tellyouwhat]

Much more likely that they saw the SEMA 2021 truck with white turbofan wheels: https://www.motortrend.com/events/ford-custom-truck-builds-sema-show-2021/

ford gave a shout out to that build as inspiration

I have my own form of turbofan.

Im waiting to buy tires until someone sells their non fan rims as take offs

Didn’t see this yet, so figured I’d start a poll.

For me, I’m on the fence.
At first I hated the Turbofan wheels. Now I hate them less. Since they are model specific, wondering if a mistake to not get them?

Not sure if they would minimize brake dust or not; the dust on my ‘22 Lariat hasn’t been that bad.

Also wondering about what happens when tires are rotated? Dropping a lug might be prone to cause more damage to the Turbofan and not as easy to fix.

And with the bigger brakes, wouldn’t it be nice to see them?

I would go with the turbofans painted a different color than black.

I ordered mine with the optional wheels. So I am biased, And I’m thinking powder coated gold/bronze.

Gold or bronze probably goes well with any of the Lobo colors, but I think especially on black. I think probably gold with velocity blue. Like an old Subaru rally car.

I got a set of bronze 17" for all-terrains because I'm curious to see how a Lobo does in Rallycross, and I needed something for winter with my current Mav. I hope they clear the Lobo front rotors...

I really feel like the turbofans would look good on Cyber Orange maverick. I don’t hate them on the 25s especially on that blue

If I was in the market I'd order turbofans on blue.

The guy who designed the Lobo must have had an 81 turbo TA

Damn, very similar.

I'm not a fan, at all. But if I were buying a Lobo, I'd get the turbofan wheels just to sell them cause they will bring the money. Then get something I really like, in chrome.

anyone up for trading turbofan wheels for the 100 dollar upgrade.

you might want to be more specific about what you're asking...

the optional lobo wheel ("100 dollar upgrade") is the '25 BAP wheel which itself is just an all-black '25 Lariat wheel.

if you have turbofans and don't want them, I think you have a lot of options and personally I wouldn't trade them straight across, they're going to be in higher demand than other wheels.

if you want turbofans I'd say that more clearly.

I could only find the 702a package with the upgraded wheels "non turbofan" and wanted to see if someone wants to get rid of their turbofan wheel i would be willing to trade the upgraded wheel for the lesser turbofan style.

I may be biased but... The lobo turbo fans rock

Not my taste.
