Anyone else hate the silver beauty rings?

[710-oil-614]

Can we buy additional beauty rings from Ford? I'd like to get a second set to paint black and keep the original ones stock so I can always go back.

I have a base Eruption Green being built on 1/17 and already have a black bronco emblem to replace the original chrome one. Looking to add the Ford rock rails and then the black beauty rings - I think it'll make for a damn nice looking rig.

I did not.

Are they black? Hard to tell in the pic.

Yes but they are very expensive from what I heard. Here thy are shown as an accessory but no pricing listed.

I love that look, black with the silver lugs and silver bolts. I call then the "Star" wheels.

Black all the way.

You may as well get black lug's and center caps. Then will defiantly won't be able to see any of the wheels. Look's like your trying to hide them. Do you even have a tire and wheel on the back?

Yep…swapped them out.

Keeping the silver ones for the trails.

Where did you find black ones? I think those look 100x better. Great looking rig! Love that red

I know what you mean, I almost walked away from my Basesquatch because the windows roll down .01 seconds slower than my M3.

This is why I was asking above. I haven’t seen the chrome looking torx bolts, I was thinking of hitting up my local Dez‘ nuts and bolts emporium If they could special order. Either black rings and chrome bolts or carb gray rings and usd the black bolts.

I thought so too, but found a picture of one with my exact trim level and not too sure about it.

They look so much better! How much were they aftermarket?

I retract my original statement! your right it looks off and makes me unsure I was think of doing mine in a deep red for my big bend

Personally, I prefer the silver and not a fan of all black wheels. To each his own.

While I get where you’re coming from, I find it more refreshing than just another “Ford doesn’t care about us! They’ve ruined my life with this inexplicable wait time” rants.

True, and I have to admit my own guilt in participating in too many of those threads. What caught my attention here is the "It's not precisely what I want, I'm out!" or "who do I pay to do it for me?" mentality.

I have a BadSquatch in Velocity Blue on order. When I saw the silver trim rings with that color, I didn't like them very much and my first thoughts were "OK, a little sanding/scuffing, a bit of degreaser, then some spraypaint of my choice. Done. Nothing to it".

I'm 100% NOT picking on the OP. But Instead of an "I got this, no sweat" attitude, I'm reading too many "You'll own nothing and like it" or "Just susbscribe to a monthly service" type of posts that I find very disappointing.

For those that are new to working on cars or are otherwise unsure of themselves, I'd highly suggest ChrisFix on YouTube. He clearly demonstrates many automotive how-to's that are rapidly becoming lost today. Most of his work is done with basic tools in a driveway, nothing exotic at all.

(Yes, Chris completely burned me with his "Honda Piston Return Springs" video. I felt like an idiot!)

Why pay hundred$ to someone else when you can spend ten$ and do it yourself and know how it is done?
