California Completed - stock 2024 R18 wheel-Santa Clara California

[ProtonDecay]

I am hoping some has an unneeded stock R18 wheel from a 2024 F250 Tremor. This is the one that is flat black with silver tips out by the rim (see pic).

I am running Toyo AT3s in 37.5x12R18 and want to put the spare into rotation. I am in South Bay.

You have flat black or is it the flat dark gray? Mine look like yours but mine are more dark gray. I think the 25+ now has a gloss black instead.

They are low-gloss matte black.

Crazy! I wonder how they offered those? You can see from mine, if you compare the center cap, black, to the wheels, mine are a dark gray:

I probably would've left my stock wheels on if they were black!

Hmm, i was just going with what ford called them. let me go out once the sun comes up here and take a better pic.....prolly the same.

Of course they did....to confuse us all!

Now...if they call the 25s black, I'd agree!

Yeah, here's a pic of mine after wiping some of the dust off - maybe "carbon gray"?

Good description!

Yup, my 2024 stockers are gray. Sold them to a great member here to get them out of my storage. Hope to deliver them in 10 days or so.

You might find one or three in a wrecking yard or "dismantler". Check in your region.

Since my truck is still kinda brand new (1550 miles) and I too want to start a five-tire-rotation schedule every 5000 miles, I just went ahead, bit the bullet and ordered from Apple (no relation) Ford, White Bear Lake.

There were no single wheels offered on Ebay, only sets of four.

If you can't find one locally from a scrapper, be prepared to bend over when you decide to purchase a new one. Cheers.

@ProtonDecay for a single, check ebay. I got my first 5th wheel from there for about $250 shipped. It was in good condition, very minor blemishes i didn’t care for. I then bought a few complete sets to build my own complete second set and sold a few extra wheels from those sets with imperfections. I love these metallic/carbon/dark grey wheels. And now that Ford switched to gloss black, they will ultimately become scarcer to find. I’m happy to have 10 of them in total.

Thank you all for your encouragement and helpful suggestions. I have one on order from ebay and will post results.

I should have said there were no single wheels offered on Ebay *at the time I was looking*, and since the '25 gloss black machined version is so new, I wasn't holding much hope. That is why I purchased a new wheel and paid dearly for it.

Glad you found one to your liking! I trust it will be in excellent shape. Cheers!

Hit this guy up in Utah. At $100 a pop it’s a steal

Thanks Alopba!

OP has found one on Ebay.

I found one Machined/GlossBlack (2025) through Ford Parts.

I’ve always had luck finding new take-offs at the various upfitter shops that the dealers use to equip their new inventory for extra-high profit margins. Lots of that stuff finds its way to the dumpster!
An acquaintance of mine started a very successful lift shop that mostly dealt direct with dealers to build their upsell inventory. Like he always told me, “nobody wants the OEM crap!”. He literally had two dumpsters on-site and they were used to toss the (factory new) stuff on a weekly basis! Suspension parts, bumpers, running boards, grills, etc that he replaced with aftermarket stuff with his builds. He did set most of the tire/wheels aside in the back lot and would give them to needier people from the church and parents of co-students of his own kids that could use a helping hand.
These days there are more companies making a secondary business out of takeoffs, but due to the size and weight of most of that stuff it’s more in tune with selling face to face.

Over the years I’ve bought factory new take-off tires/wheels at huge savings over new for most of my vehicles.

Lots of used tire places exist these days too. They usually get their inventory from local new tire shops. They resell what still has life left and recycle the rest.
