Is anyone else planning on painting their XLT wheels black? Any advice for how to do this in a way that will last? Thanks!

If you're going for longevity you'd be better off having them powder coated. May cost a few hundred per wheel but I will last the life of your truck. Honestly for as much as it would cost, and the amount of time you'd have to either run another set of wheels or have the truck on jackstands in the garage you might be better off just buying some aftermarket wheels you like.

It would be cheaper and probably last better to just buy a new set of black wheels

I had thought the XLT wheels were black (at least the rendering on the Build Configurator on Fords website made it look like that) until I started seeing actual photos, which showed it more grey

tirebuyer.com has mostly "car-y" options although I've seen pics of the Platinum Retributions on a Bronco Sport and they looked good. WHEELS10 gets 10% off.

I ordered my wheels from VividRaving/HorsepowerFreaks. You have to play the game of leaving items sit in your cart for a day or two get free shipping or 7% off and their search function is absolutely broken hot garbage. Also I didn't get the tracking info until... a month after they were delivered. The turnaround from ordered to delivered was quick enough and just drop-shipped from the manufacturer.

Thats why I got the FX4, just for the black wheels. All the other bits were a bonus!

Powder c is your best option but you can used 2k paint which is a rattle can paint with the hardener in it you will get a pro finish and durability and a lot cheaper than pc.
