blackboost Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 I thought this change was going to start with the 2026 Mavericks. I was kind of surprised to see a 2025 with the Carbonized Gray wheels AND the FX4 package?! It is a later "SRBXXXXX" ending VIN, rather than "SRA".

Whoever is in charge of wheel selection at Ford has made some terrible decisions on wheel colors. They changed the Explorer ST wheels to Magnetite, which is awful, and no optional wheels to fix it. Sorry you are missing out on the black wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackboost Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 I do not mind the Magnetite on our 2025 Edge ST. My 2024 Maverick XLT FX4 has the Black wheels, which I don't hate, but I do notice that the rock chips and dust stand out worse on a black wheel, over a lighter color. If you drive on paved roads only, it is not an issue, possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a FX4 w/the black wheels, they were a PITA to clean. I would have traded for the gray XLT wheels in a heartbeat.
