Added price of $625 if picked up in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Looking to sell a set of 4 19" OEM Ford Fusion Titanium wheels without wires. Great condition, one wheel has a tiny knick on it, other than that they are near mint. $750 shipped or $625 picked up in Cincinnati, Ohio. Can call or text 513-259-9778 Richard.

My 2010 has the same rust spot. I just posted about this, then realized this thread was already out there! I wash and detail my car quite often, and it is garaged as well. Looks like the trim was engineered incorrectly and rubs on the painted part of the trunk lid over time.

I have noticed a tiny rust spot starting on the trunk lid of my 2010 Fusion. It's where the left side of the chrome trim (part with the Ford logo) touches the trunk and has rubbed the paint off. The right side does not have the issue at all. I went and looked at 2 other 2010 Fusion's on a car lot...and they both had rust spots! Anyone else have this issue? Just curious, it's so small that it would take quite some time to spread, but it's irritating to know that there is a rust spot on a car that I clean and detail on a regular basis! Never mind, I found a thread covering this issue. Looks like it is a common occurrence!

I'm with ya guys, I was just trying to make a suggestion of performance over looks/sound. I agree about the sound needing to be a little deeper, and the tips are PUNY! If the exhaust was in the $400 range...It'd be a diff story for me. I kicked around the idea of an exhaust because of how good they look on these cars, but I guess I'm too cheap lol.

In my opinion, it would be the biggest waste of money for a mod on these cars. I am not ragging on anyone that does it...just saying that it has the lowest bang for the buck of any mod you can do. If you drop $600-$700 on a catback just for sound, I would highly encourage you to invest that money into a tune and cold air intake first. A power pak from Steeda will cost about the same, and net you about 30 additional WHP. Just saying, why not? Now, if this was a V8....I'd say the exhaust should be ripped off the car the first day! But these cars I think are better left kept quiet.

If you are really particular about the maintenance on your vehicle, this is what I would do (And what I am doing, as my 2010 Sport will be hitting 75k next month). I am putting a Steeda engine mount in (stock one is starting to get noisy and loose), drain and replace trans fluid, replace spark plugs, and drain and replace coolant. Not much to these cars....I have had mine for 2 years now and 35k miles later its been problem free, and I am not easy on my cars. I would be what you would consider an "aggressive driver".

The bolt pattern and offset/size are fine...but the hub bore size is too small. The SHO has like a 63mm bore, Fusions have a 67.1 I think. They'd have to be bored out at a machine shop.

Little update, I live in Cincinnati, my driving habits and patterns have not changed, and my winter MPG's on my FWD Sport are at about 21-21.3 average, that's down about 2 mpg from summer. That's to be expected.

I would be careful with this. The 96-98 Cobra wheels have a 24 or a 26mm offset (I am almost positive), pulling the wheel further out of the wheel well, that coupled with a wider tire may cause clearance issues on the front when turning, or clearance issue in the rear when suspension is loaded. I think the wheels are 17x8...so that would like adding a 24mm spacer to a Fusion Sport with stock wheels...that's pushing it on the rear! Especially with a tire that big.

I don't recommend a salvage. Mainly because these have been known to start to "fail" around 40-50k miles, and most salvage vehicles have that many miles or more...and in most cases you can't test it to see if it's making the same sound as yours. My car had the same problem start around 50k miles, I let it go until 60k...found the part at a great price on Rock Auto .com and took about 20 minutes to replace....good as new. I think it was around $50 shipped.

In for pics as well. I also am curious to see your wheel setup!

I would probably go with a 245/35/19, since it is within a 1/4" of the factory tire height . A 245/40/19 is taller than the stock tire by about 3/4".

Thank you, sir.

What about a filter change?
