I think this is the most "blue" I have seen iced blue silver look in actual photos - must be the lighting and all of the blue around it.

Yes, Ford uses deceptive blue lighting on many of their trade show displays. It gives everything a blue tint.

The rims look good. It's the wheels that look bad.

Agreed.

I think its all subjective. Not seeing anything to dislike.

I think he's calling out that it doesn't have "Rims". It has "Wheels"..

Right, but I'm saying I like the wheels. But I've been looking at EVs for a looong time.

I totally understand that. Personally, I like the Lariat's wheels more than the Platinums. What's funny though is I think the PRO / XLT's wheels are better than either of them. I also like that the Pro/XLT wheels are 18s. Those will do much better with AT tires than will the 20 or 22s of the Lariat and Platinum.

I don’t understand how they can’t just give us the same ICE options. I doubt these wheels weigh less. I’d really like the sport rims. Will probably just buy some takeoffs and call it a day. I would also like the chance to spec the 18s on a Lariat trim.

These wheels are capable of holding more weight than the ICE wheels, which is why they are different.

I’m with you though. Need more options, including black or dark grey wheels.

They are also designed with aero in mind. If you swap out wheels, you will lose range.

The Pilot Sport-shod e-Golf managed an impressive 1.0g on a skidpad, compared to 0.77g for the stock and wheel-and-tire setup. But while the stock e-Golf has an EPA-rated 125-mile range, observed range dipped below 100 miles with the stickier rubber.

It's not just tires. The wheel design can have a significant role in boosting efficiency. Car and Driver found last year that just using Tesla's aero wheel covers on a Model 3 improved its efficiency by more than 3%—or about 10 miles of range.

That confirmed what Green Car Reports has noted before in a tire swap on a Chevrolet Bolt EV—and a corresponding range drop of roughly 10% with the higher-performance rubber.
