Just put Maverick steel wheels (steelies) on my 2021 sport. What do you all think?

Definitely adds a police interceptor vibe to the vehicle. You should add an A-Pillar spot light, people would move out of your way

...or just slow down in front of you! Had a friend in college with a black Crown Vic; always ended up cursing at people crawling down streets at 25mph.

I found them on eBay, they range in price from about 65 - 85 per set on there. Look up Ford center caps for 2022 Maverick.

I like it. Has a police interceptor feel to it with shadow black. Looks good.. fwiw I think the center caps break it up...I'd keep em.

Looks real good, keep the hub caps.

By the way, any noticeable difference on your fuel economy with the heavier steel wheels?

There has been no discernible difference that I have noticed as far as fuel economy. I do however notice that it rides better, more of a solid ride now with the heavier wheels.

I would be very surprised to find the steel wheels are heavier. Has anyone weighed them?

I replaced my optional wheels (1050.00!!) With aftermarket as I did not like the look. Base Badlands wheels were nicer imo.

I was going to originally get the badlands wheels as shown in your picture, but Ford wanted 800 a wheel, and I thought that was way too much money,so I opted for the Maverick base steelies for now. I like the Bronco 'steelie' look on the others but because they are composite wheels the price was out of range for me right now. My original wheels looked okay, but I wanted more of a utility look.

Seems some people think steel wheels are just as heavy as cast mags..
I’ve handled steel wheels and not the cast ones that look like steel. They feel lighter by a wide margin.
Anybody ever weigh both and compare?

I was thinking that a steel wheel would be lighter, but it looks like they are heavier by a few pounds than a cast aluminum wheel (depending on the wheel design and process).

It's not hard to find a cast aluminum 17" wheel that is 20lbs or less.

Do you still have the OEM wheels?

No, gave them away to local tire shop.
