Explorer sport wheels
So I have a 2019 XLT explorer......I love the explorer sport wheels ( there 20") and was wondering if anyone has upgraded.....my question is I see JEGS racing sell a duplicate wheel for a lot cheaper....... just wondering if anyone has used these or knows what the quality of them are?.....

Good Day! I purchased a set of Sport wheels to mount winter tires on for my Explorer from OE Wheels (https://www.oewheelsllc.com/) The wheels look good and fit just like the OEM wheel. These are imported and do not have "SPORT" in the outer lip but, I have been very satisfied with them and the finish still looks new after two winters.
They were very helpful and even threw in a set of black lug nuts at no additional cost ($896 including shipping when I purchased them).

I installed Bridgestone Blizzaks 255/50R20 (https://www.bridgestonetire.com/tire-brand/blizzak) for winter driving.
For the other 3 seasons, the Explorer still has the factory-installed 255/50R20 Kumho tires which, have been terrible (loud, poor traction, mediocre handling). The Kumho's will be replaced this spring with Michelin.
I recently installed a set of Michelin Latitude Tour HP (https://www.michelinman.com/tires/la...e-tour-hp.html) on our Edge and have been very satisfied with them so far. A co-worker has Michelin Defenders (https://www.michelinman.com/tires/de...r-ltx-m-s.html) on his Explorer and he raves about the overall performance of these. So, I am still up-in-the-air about which of the two I will go with.
