Trading wheels

Recommended Posts

I'm about to take delivery of my 2017 Hybrid fusion titanium. I'm not huge fan of the 18 in wheels however I really like the 18in wheels on the SE appearance package.

 

I'm wondering where would be a good place to find someone willing to swap wheels?

Give the guys at Detroit Wheel and Tire a call. What you want is what they do -- what they only do. A real slick operation. They send you the take-offs you really wanted -- you send yours back to them in their boxes.

The selection on their website is far and wide but the stock in hand changes every day. They do a lot of deals on eBay.

 

I talked with one of their sales people on the phone (Jerry Quinn at 248-556-4086, or his email).

He told me what they had. What I wanted wasn't out there at the moment, so I moved on.

 

I have no relation or incentive to recommend this company. Good luck.

 

oh and.. not sure what wheels you are talking about (picture or link is worth 1000 words..)

 

My dream wheels

 

They look unbelievable on a White Fusion.

Here's a video. I can't watch it.. I want those wheels..

Those wheels are really nice.

 

The first wheel is what is coming on my car the second wheel is what I want.

 

I will email those guys today and see what they have to say.

Jerry had those wheels on the right in black chrome 6 weeks ago. Post your cars model and color in your profile so I can live vicariously through your new wheels. Good luck.

I emailed them and I'm not going to do it. I thought it would be straight swap since the wheels are brand new but I'd have to pay $1300 for the new wheels and then get a $500 credit for mine when they arrived at their location. I think I'd have better luck on craigslist.

See if TireRack has anything that appeals to you in the 18" size. I have a set of Verde Regency 17" with the OEM tread that I use in non-Winter driving. The OEM rims and Goodyear snows are Winter set. I used the Verde on my prior '15 and they are pretty sharp units. I believe it was a bit over $500 for them, TPMS installed and drop-shipped to local Goodyear (approved installer).

 

This is the black w/machined lip, but there are chrome versions, silver and one or two more. The 18" version of this is $126/ea plus any TPMS and shipping. Photo taken of my prior Tux Black HyTi.

One other thing about Goodyear that I take advantage of ... Road Hazard Warranty. It costs up front, but it will cover ANY tread on the car - even OEM. Also, with two sets of rims and tires, the twice-annual swaps are free. I have had tread replaced due to damage and most I've paid was about $70 for a $125 15" tire on a Fiesta. Something else for you to consider.

You sure dealer won't do it for you? I imagine they could put your wheels on an SE and someone would love to have them -- "upgraded wheels at no charge!" advertising.
