Black Wheels on White Mach-E

[mkhuffman]

I was looking on Autotrader to find the closest Mach-E, and found a listing with black wheels. I have not seen one with black wheels before. I think they must painted them. I think the car looks really good with black wheels but I know many people don't like black wheels.

Looks like they powder coated the stock wheels.

I actually dont like it. With black fender flares they disappear

Looks good. Love black wheels. (See avatar)

I don’t get it. You basically can’t see the wheels now. How is that attractive? Wheels look good when they are big and shiny. Period.

They would look good on a different color Mach E, but in these pics, they remind me of snow tires on steelies.

Oooh. You typed "period" after an actual period. That really must be the end of it. OK, case closed boys. ?

Ford has some of the best looking gloss-black wheels on the gasoline Mustang's Performance Pack. I wish they'd have offered both a Performance Pack and the gloss black wheels here.

How about with a carbonized gray exterior? I agree with Richard, with a white exterior the wheels seem to disappear. It looks much better with gray exterior. (BTW - I just copied the wheels from the white car to the gray car using Autotrader images.)

I'm thinking of going black wheels on my RR premium

Not sure which to choose but likes these so far

Those look really good, and are similar to the GT wheels. What site are you using? I checked Tire Rack and they don't have wheels for the Mach-E yet. BTW - the highway range with those wheel will probably be negatively impacted. They don't look as aerodynamic as the stock wheels. Highway range is really important for the way I plan to use the car.

If Im not mistaken those are TSW wheels. Just be careful the weight cause I think those are 32lbs, so heavier than stock

I think the best combination would be black wheels with black exterior

I like the look... But need to confirm weight and load rating.

As for aerodynamic, yes it would impact... But what would it actually translate into on the amount of km or miles.... Probably not that much in the end

I think if your normal use case is local driving, out and back home daily, the decreased range won't be significant. For me, however, it will be. I have been oscillating back and forth between the AWD and RWD, because of the extra 30 miles of RWD range. I keep coming back to the fun factor, and the AWD fun factor is significant to me. That said, my pre-COVID commute is 150 miles one way, all highway. So highway range is very important. Anything that decreases highway range without a significant side benefit will be hard for me to justify to myself.

Ford did a great job with the stock wheels, much better than most car companies. Look at the Tesla base stock wheels - they look horrible. The Premium Mach-E wheels look good. If I paint them black, there will be no range impact. If I replace them, almost surely there will be a negative range impact. For me, it is not worth it since the Premium stock wheels do look good. I am still debating with myself regarding whether or not black looks better or not. I hate debating with myself. ;-)
