V8 Beast Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) All 4 oems are flaking on the lip, and one met a curb and bent the lip. Anyone seen any wheels floating out there on ford/lincoln forums for under $350? Im ok with the plastic face oem, but if you were me would you really pay $500 to replace them :fuuuu: People making ugly wheels have made my search not as good as expectation. Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 (5x4.5) Center Bore: 67.1 Hardware:12x1.50 Lug Offset: 35-45mm No chrome, just a nice durable used wheel that will last with my wife washing the car 4 times a year If you can keep an eye out for me it would be appreciated.

V8 Beast Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Size? Lol, knew I forgot something. 18x8. I'm tempted to just stick a cheap new wheel on there like this since its just going to get beat up anyway. http://www.discounttire.com/product/wheels/mbmoct.large.jpg I know its mean, but its not like Im driving it. My only worries are if it will crumble it it hits a pothole. Oh, and it looks like this http://media.il.edmunds-media.com/ford/edge/2007/ft/2007_ford_edge_actf34_ft_1_717.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 NO. I'm looking right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 NO. I'm looking right now. I've been on like 100 sites. I've found a few deals but Im almost sure people are trying to sell one wheel instead of an entire set. I have emails out asking but no one has responded in a week... go figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Right now, I personally like the Enkei Razr. It's at 155 per wheel but it's easy to clean and is high quality. http://1010tires.com/images/wheels/super/enkei_RAZR_lg_super.jpg 155 at 1010tires.com EDIT: I think this would look great, 155 per at Discount Tire. DR-43. I had Drag wheels before and I liked them. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/drad43gmfang.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Just saw a commercial for the new Explorer. Probably a long shot that they're the same pattern, but the 10-spoke in a 5-star pattern wheels looked great. Maybe pick up a used set.

Rocky31186 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Any chance to get the wheels fixed, for the 400 you would spend on wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Not with the plastic chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Get some silver painted take-offs from another Edge? Going to look best unless you go with a large size wheel, of which a pothole will most surely destroy. For the money some take-offs will be the best quality I'm sure. If it were YOUR car you'd probably want these lol (Only thing on CL, you've probably already seen) http://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/2831867042.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you're feeling really bold, pick up some 22" Sport wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pretty much see the clear starting to fail in those pics. I had similarly made (cheap) wheels on my MINI. I LOVED the design but once the clear starts failing they look like crap. Youll be in the same boat and out a few hundo. Are you looking for 18s to reuse stock tires? Like Steve said, Mustang wheels may fit! You can look up a lot of bolt patterns here: http://www.myboltpattern.com/Bolt-Patterns.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Mustang wheels are a little wider than what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
