Nice looking truck, and the best color too! Wish my truck had those wheels (or the machined wheels).
Interesting that you mention the wheels...I am happy about everything but the wheels, These wheels are the 18" machined finish wheels, which I like, but oddly the center caps are pvd chrome and thus don't match-which bothers me. Furthermore the center caps that cover the hub and lugs are very large? Is there another "hub cover" aftermarket solution that is is more subtle?
Nice truck. I’ll admit, there are some 20” Lariat (IIRC) wheels which I thought looked good, but I wanted an XLT. Surprisingly, I liked the XLT 18” “sparkle” wheels better than any others, however, like you mentioned, the center caps don’t quite match. It doesn’t really bother me though. And I know what you mean about how big they are… especially on my rears since I went with the Dana axle. They stick out pretty far… but I like watching them spin in the side view mirrors! Lol.
I got the Dana rear too! Perhaps thats why it has these big caps? Anyway. Happy to have a new truck!
Yeah, from what I understand, the centerpieces on the Sterling axles don't stick out quite as far. I haven't seen them side by side to compare though... But, like I mentioned, it's fun to watch them spin in the side mirrors. Reminds me of the big lugs spinning on the front wheels of a semi! lol
I have the caps below, but sometimes I see the caps that expose the lug nuts on these wheels....
I'm not aware of any aftermarket center cap alternatives, but the caps that expose the lug nuts would work if you prefer them. They would stick out just as far.
I think the rear center caps on the Dana axles are about 1.5” longer - think I seen that on here somewhere. You can definitely spot them easy by looking at the caps.

Enjoy your truck!
you sir got the best wheels offered. I guess I'm a little biased

All the Ford caps have the lugs covered AFAIK.
I have those wheels and the chrome caps on mine as well and I think they are great.
Those chrome caps are 100 times easier to clean and keep looking good than ones with exposed lug nuts.
