Justin Patrick Rebboah Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I just recently entered the ford fusion family as i just bought a used 2012 ford fusion sport. great deal for it! its black and although new the rims have pretty severe scratches on the passenger sides. I asked my dealer if he could put rims from a 2013 fusion on it and he said it shouldn't be a problem. my question is will they fit? i want to black out the outside of my car (the wheels and the windows 20%) so was hoping to put these on Wheels - 18 Inch PVD Dark Chrome Kit So will these fit, if not does anybody know of ford brand rims that are 18in and black that will fit my vehicle thanks!

hermans Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The rims from a 2012 are not interchangeable with a 2013. There are threads on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Patrick Rebboah Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thank you FF and hermans this is what I was concerned about I read a few different conflicting things. Do you know of any compatible ford rims that are black?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpaz61 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Justin - you do have a few options: 1. You can use plastidip to make your OEM Sport wheels black. This very common in the Fusion community and relatively inexpensive. And if you don't like it, it does peel off. And some have sprayed their wheels with a clear coat after using plastidip to make them look glossy. Look at these images: http://imageshack.us/a/img541/8256/fusionwheel.jpg http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/4/375/1789/38435894255_large.jpg http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/4/375/1789/38435894256_large.jpg http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/4/375/1789/38435894257_large.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h99/michigandevil/lols1.png http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h99/michigandevil/image_zpsbba67a6c.jpg 2. You can paint your wheels black 3. You can have your wheels powder coated (most expensive option) 4. Look into aftermarket wheels with the same bolt pattern as mentioned above - 5x114.3 OEM wheels will be expensive. You can look on craigslist or ebay as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splintor13 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 new to the community, just bought a 2012 Fusin Sport FWD, seriously Ford went BACK to 4.25"? I fought this battle for years with my 95 TBird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 It changed to the European based CD4 platform which I think shares wheels with the Focus platform (also EUCD based). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
