Sparco Terra wheel

[Snowbird]

Just ordered a XL Hybrid in Iconic Silver and was thinking these wheels might look good on it. Thoughts?

They look nice! Are you happy with them?

I live on a dirt road so no black, or dark color because they always look dirty.

Looks very nice and clean. Any fitment issues? Significant drop in MPGs?

Nah none, I just went factory size tire etc so no real changes at all. Maybe a mpg or half that if you really averaged it out, but that's likely due to running a stickier 'high performance all season' tire in the Sumitomo.

Mostly they just ride and drive like stock. Honestly I only ran these over the summer and I'm already window shopping - I'm ashamed at how much I like changing wheels and tires lol.

I would absolutely go for Terras if they didn't have that contrasting SPARCO logo. I like them in gray for my A51 Mav. And those have blue lettering. Can't do it.
Have to find something else.

I have been thinking of getting these in black for my Lariat. Nice cheap option to play around with.

I had the same thought but considered the blue might match the Ford blue oval. Wish they came in a bright silver and the lettering was black.
I like these wheels because they look like they are "truck" wheels.

While the blue logo might match the Ford blue logo, there really isn't any viewing angle that would allow you to see both and tie them together. And I think the Ford logo is a lot darker than the Sparco blue.

I'm not sure the Terras look "trucky." They look "rally." To the extent that trucks are run in rally, it's consistent. But they work on any rally adjacent vehicle; Subies, Mitsus, Focus'.

No offense, but I'm done with silver wheels, bright or not. I grew up in a world where all wheels, steel or alloy, were silver...or chromed. I'm ready to do something different.

All good points. They are the only wheels I have found that do not look "dainty" , in my opinion.

Black wheels seem to be all the rage, not for me. They just look like a dark hole and are impossible to keep clean and looking sharp.

Would like to hear what you decide on as I am always open to suggestions.

I have found other wheels that have a similar vibe to the Sparco Terras. Method (expensive) and Motegi (TireRack). The Motegis aren't as cleanly executed as the Terras; I have a hard time loving them.

I'm currently leaning to Gray or platinum finish and this is my current fav:

Andros Spec Y

Note that I'm perfectly happy with the stock XLT wheels. I'm looking for a set of winter wheels.

17"? Let me know if you want to sell wheels when you change.

I'm like 95% sure the logos are decals. I've seen listings for Terras with no logos on a couple different sites.

That's a possible game changer!

They’re just stickers/decals they’re it into the wheel itself
