Their core philosophy is simple: “Upgrade your drive.” The New Ford Explorer Wheel Line – What’s Different? Let’s get down to the wheels themselves. ICON EV isn’t just slapping a new finish on existing designs. They’ve completely re-engineered these wheels to be tougher, lighter, and more stylish than what you’ll typically find. Here's a rundown of what sets them apart: Multiple Styles: ICON EV is launching with five distinct wheel designs for the Ford Explorer. There’s something for everyone, from a sleek, modern look to a more aggressive, off-road inspired style. They've got designs ranging from classic five-spoke configurations to bolder, more complex patterns. The names? “Apex,” “Renegade,” “Specter,” “Titan,” and “Velocity.” Each design caters to a different taste and Explorer build. Flow-Formed Construction: This isn’t your standard cast wheel. The ICON EV wheels utilize a flow-forming process. What does that mean? Basically, it involves stretching and shaping the aluminum alloy, creating a wheel that’s significantly stronger and lighter than a traditionally cast wheel. Think better handling, improved fuel efficiency, and a smoother ride. Premium Materials: ICON EV uses 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. It's known for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio. It's what they use to ensure these wheels can withstand the bumps, potholes, and general wear and tear of daily driving. Durable Finishes: Forget finishes that chip and fade after a few months. ICON EV offers a range of durable finishes, including Gloss Black, Matte Black, Silver Machined, and Gunmetal. They’re applied using a multi-stage process to ensure long-lasting beauty and protection against the elements. These aren’t just pretty; they're built to last. Sizes to Fit Your Explorer: ICON EV understands that not all Explorers are created equal. They’re offering these wheels in a range of sizes, specifically designed to fit various Explorer models and trims – from the standard Explorer to the Sport and Platinum. Typically offered in 20" and 22" diameters, with varying widths and offsets to ensure a perfect fit. Beyond the Looks: Performance Benefits These wheels aren’t just about turning heads. The lighter weight contributes to several performance improvements: Improved Handling: Reduced unsprung weight (the weight not supported by the suspension) allows the suspension to react more quickly to bumps and changes in road conditions, resulting in sharper handling and a more controlled ride. Enhanced Acceleration: Less weight means less energy required to get the wheel turning, resulting in slightly improved acceleration. It’s not going to turn your Explorer into a race car, but you will feel the difference. Reduced Brake Dust: The wheel design, particularly the open spoke designs, promotes better airflow to the brakes, helping to dissipate heat and reduce brake dust buildup. Smoother Ride: While it might seem counterintuitive, a lighter wheel can actually contribute to a smoother ride by allowing the suspension to absorb bumps more effectively. What Customers are Saying Early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. “I was looking for a way to really make my Explorer stand out, and these wheels did the trick!” said Mark Johnson, a recent ICON EV customer from Orlando, Florida. “The quality is fantastic, and they really transformed the look of my vehicle.” Another customer, Sarah Chen from Tampa, noted, “I was hesitant to spend the money on new wheels, but these are worth every penny. They’re so much lighter than my old wheels, and my Explorer handles noticeably better.” Availability and Pricing The ICON EV Ford Explorer wheel line is available now for purchase through the company’s website (icon-ev.com) and select authorized dealers. Pricing starts at $1,299 for a set of four wheels. ICON EV is also offering free shipping on all wheel orders within the continental United States.
