18" Ford Edge rims on my AWD Fusion

[Jimmy G]

Not sure what Ford wants for each wheel, but maybe you misunderstood my previous post...

 

The first set cost me 350.00 divided by 4 = 87.50 each (Shipping included in that price)

The second set cost 310.00 divided by 4 = 77.50 each (Shipping included in that price)

 

Seems quite a bit better than $200 each.

 

 

You got them from a dealer, correct? What dealer was this?

Including tires?

 

Never mind. I've checked out a couple of Ebay auctions and they're way over the price you snagged yours at.

Post #19 stated ..Ebay, price was for wheels and centercaps only.

 

Purchased 4 tires for about $650. So basically the set-up you see I was still under $1,000 for everything. Once for each car. I have two sets of 17" Fusion original wheels and tires if anyone is interested!! LOL

I think they came out pretty good... car has a nice stance compared to stock rims. The bolt pattern and offset is exactly the same on the Edge and Fusion. So what you see are 225/45/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Ultra-performance all season radials compared to the 225/50/17 stock size.

 

Man that's a beautiful car. It's the same color as the one I ordered. It looks like you have the Moon & Tune option. My car will have the same with a Nav system. I don't know the first thing about a Nav system.

but I do like the 18" wheels. I wonder if the ride difference is noticable.

Hello Dirtyred,

 

The chrome Edge wheel is basically an expensive hubcap with the official name being 'wheelskins'. Underneath it is exactly this style of rim with a chrome plated ABS plastic. I live in a four seasons area and did not want two sets of tires/wheels (winter/summer) to switch out so I thought that this premium painted factory wheels would fulfill my needs and hold up to the fours season weather. I have also read complaints that dirt and debris have a habit of collecting between the wheel and the wheel cover on the "chrome" wheels causing some owners greif. They are a dime a dozen on E-bay for the chrome.
