Sparco Terra wheel

[Snowbird]

Did you get the TPSM for them from Tire Rack? (I assume that is who you got them from)
Also any chance of a picture of the supplied lug nuts?

You may be able to. I am planing on using the steelies for winter tires and have two sets of mounted wheels and tires, both with TPSM.

Yes , I got the TPMS from TR. Will go out and shoot the lug nuts. Haven't even opened that box yet

Now edited with pics.
I'd prefer if the lug nuts had a matte rather than polished finish. Maybe I'll change them later. I'll see how distracting they are when I install the wheels.

I expect you could, but these are my winter wheels. I need to keep the factory TPMS on the factory wheels for summer. That's what we hardy New Englanders do

Thank you to everyone for the pictures and information about these wheels.
I pulled the trigger and placed an order for them from TR to take advantage of the sale price.
I am now officially one of "those guys" who orders accessories for a truck I don't even have yet!

What does everyone think about the load capacity of the Sparco wheels? They're nice but typically each wheel should be capable of 1500lbs?

I have no idea, what is the load capacity of this wheel?
I can not find any information in the spec's.
I may be in for a surprise, but trust that TireRack would not sell a wheel for a vehicle that would cause any problems, when the vehicle is used within it's intended limitations.

18x8 Sparco Terra = 1595 lbs each

22 Maverick

Thank you for the information.
I did contact TR and asked if the 17x7.5 size where ok if you put 1500lbs in the bed. I was told that there were no issues with the load capacity of them on a Maverick.

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

Why would there be a MPG drop? These weigh less than the factory steel wheels.

Confirming the Sparco decals came off easily. 30s from the heat gun on each letter and peeled off with a fingernail. Didn't even need googone.
No pics on the truck till snow season.

Upload pics whenever you get them on the truck please.

I have them in black, I say go for it!

If you have any more pics on this one, I would love to see it. Always hard to see clean black wheels in pics.

Soon. Winter is coming!

Not the guy who asked about the MPGs but I'm guessing because if you go to a wider wheel/tire, you gain traction but also a wider contact patch which increases rolling resistance.

To be fair, using the OEM tire on the Sparco Terra would only increase the contact patch by like 0.25" or so.
