I added a little bling to my Lightning with some chrome wheels and polished stainless steel F-150 Tailgate Letters. Being an old guy i decided to go old school. I'm running 18" X 8.5" American Racing AR893 wheels, McGard Lug nuts and Michelin Defender 2 tires. The tailgate letters are Ford Licensed Putco Polished Stainless Steel letters.

Chrome tires are cool! I also have done the tailgate lettering, it's a nice and affordable way to bling your Lightning

Dunno! Sparky is our starship, so I figured he's some kind of Enterprise. Shockingly, 1701 was taken...

Nice shoes! Curious though… Have you seen any effect on your range?

I have not noticed any change in range at all, but the truck seems to ride better on 18's compared to the Factory 22's.

My lifetime average range is 4.0 km/kwh or 2.5 mi/kwh which includes 3000 miles on the factory 22" General Grabber HTS tires, 3500 miles on 18" Michelin X Ice 2 winter tires and 1000 miles on 18" Michelin Defender 2 M/S tires. The driving is mainly city driving during all 4 seasons.
