In a minor accident steel is a winner though, less damage and cheaper repairs.

That IIHS Small-Offset test is a doozie. It's specifically designed to miss the frame rail on SUVs and compacts, because cars are built to pass the NHTSA test, which is offset to the point of the frame rail.
Looks like it missed it on the F-150 here too, which surprises me. Even a steel-body vehicle in that test gets shredded, though. Many people react to a crash situation with steering to avoid the crash and a full-frontal crash turns into a small-offset one like that and is actually made much worse, hence this test.

White seems to be the overwhelming choice here.
Does anyone have a red or blue one yet, and willing to post photos?

I do. I can repost some. I have blue. She’s covered in snow and ice at the moment. After we arrive home and give her a bath, I’ll take new ones.
Came across this blacked out and wrapped Navigator on instagram.

I think it settles the debate on black wheels.

Indeed it does!
Yeah I don’t have a problem with them either but there are differing opinions in this thread, which I don’t mind either.

I like the chrome wheels.
That's why they make chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Everybody has different taste.

For me it depends on the rest of the truck and body. That Navi on Instagram has a matte finish darker paint job so naturally black looks great on it.
Wow, I am floored on how good they look. Chevy/GMC have some competition on the look factor now.
Shucks, I was willing to pay up to $10,000 for a set.
SOLD, to edizzle for $10,100!!! LOL

Pinetop Arizona. Went skiing and it was 1 degree. Bad part is I broke my wrist. Family washed my car for me.
Sunrise had 6 inches on Friday night. Our friends brought their Tundra, 2014... what a gas guzzler, so happy with performance of our car.
