Am I the only one that thinks this is pretty tacky? What are we doing here?

If there is a market for tailgate stickers, there must be one for wheel stickers....right?!

From the picture I do think it looks better but who knows in real life

I know they are "aero" but the stock LIghtning wheels are all pretty tacky themselves IMO, the low trim wheels actually look better to me, but I put 20" Racelines on my Lariat 3 days after picking it up because the stockers look like appliance wheels. These stickers do sort of fix the acres of shiny metal on the Platinum wheels IMO... but also my opinion that if you can swing a Plat you should probably just get some aftermarket wheels.

I'm sure there is a miniscule market of those limited number of lightning owners who have those specific wheels, but to compare them to a decorative tailgate sticker which can fit any modern F150 is like comparing apples and bowling balls. Is that your etsy page?

I agree on the stock wheels which is why I'm looking at aftermarket myself. Living in New England I would give these maybe 2 years before they succumb to the salt, snow and sand, not to mention the many car washes.

People plastidip their wheels all the time so, there's probably a tiny market for this. I guess someone thought it was at least worth the effort to create

Hence, the rolling eyes.

I thought I would hate the 18” wheels on my XLT but IRL they look great. No stickers needed

Vinyl wheel stickers like this seem to be super popular in a lot of user groups. Tons of accent stickers for wheels and everywhere else on your car are available for Teslas, Rivians, Porsches, etc.. It all looks like complete ass to me. A sticker is just a sticker.

It's like Plastidip on your wheels. Give 'em the ol' ghetto powder coat. Even if done well, they look good from far, but are far from good.

All the factory wheel options for the Lightning are 'meh' at best. I like the styling of the XLT / Pro wheels the best, but they look cheap and crappy up close. XLT ER / Lariat wheels actually look better in person than I expected, but are just plain and boring. The 22" Platinum wheels are probably the nicest, but 22" on this truck is a no-go if I want to actually use it as a truck. They don't ride quite as nice and tires are more expensive. They're also unnecessarily heavy with that mostly solid "aero" face on them. Range takes a hit too...

I know, I'm being all judgey and hateful. People can just like what they like...

I would never put stickers on my wheels, but it does look better. The platinum wheels are arguably the ugliest of all Lightning trim wheels. I saw someone on here that powder coated them black and they looked great!

I have to feel sorry for the designer that spent months working on the wheel designs and the biggest fans of the vehicle all hate it.
Then some kid comes along and slaps some stickers on there to 'fix' it.

What a scam! the sticker sheet only has 21 pieces but you need 24 for all 4 wheels.
