That looks really, really nice! They look great with the Dark Blue.

I like the rims, even though they kind of look like the rims on an 87 Camaro RS, and the Cavaliers of the same time frame...See 5th one down...87 Camaro RS Wheels

How much did those run you? I have a silver one and those would look sweet on it.

I'm going to start hunting on eBay. You got a good deal IMO.

Yeah, it was a great deal if you ask me. There is a set on Ebay now, bid starts at $1100 or Buy It Now for $1300. I don't think you'll find them for what I got them for, but happy hunting. Good luck.

For some reason they look small on your car compared to what they look like on the Sport. Must be the dark color. They are good looking rims, tires are not cheap for them though, priced them out when I first got the car since I heard bad things about the Goodyears that come with the car, BUT surprisingly enough, the tires are doing very good. Decent snow traction, much better than anticipated, and I am glad I waited until it snowed before making a decision on steelies and snows, saved me $500.

I run the "crappy" stock michelin's on mine and can drive comfortably in about 8" of snow for short distances. 90% of driving in the snow has to do with the driver, though snow tires definitely make a difference if you have them.

The rim itself looks quite large compared to the SEL 17' wheels, don't miss those at all. The wheels came with brand new GY/RSA's, I've only driven in dry weather, and it handles much better than the 17's. Luckily when it snows, my car gets covered and I don't think a snowflake has hit it yet.

What size tires are thoes? I like the profile.

They are the stockers, 225/45/18.

I looked again, and they look about the same size on mine, it is just the darker color that made it more noticeable.

so if theese wheels fir on a older fusion does that mean i can purchase drilled and slotted rotors for my 2010 fusion and order rotors for like a 09 or 08 and they will fit okay since the bolt patters in still the same?

It sure looks that way. Other than the 3.5, transmission, and some suspension components, it looks like the mechanicals between the years hasn't changed, mostly just skin and interior changes were made. Makes me wonder if the exhaust between the 3.0 and 3.5 is the same.

hmmm interesting.....wish there was some way i could tell for sure so i dont go spending a few hundred bucks on brakes without knowing 100% if they will fit or not...if anyone else knows 100% let me know and i would appreciate it... :hyper:

What, the brakes? They're the same. Ask the dealership; they'll tell you. This has been broached before.

[2010tuxblackfusion]

My dealer is a complete and total :censored: hole and they said they didnt know whether it was the same size or not that i would have to measure....sorry if its been discussed before im new to the forums

Here is how to find out. Call Napa and have them look up the caliper for a 2010 Fusion Sport and he SEL and see if they are the same part number. Then have them check it against the 2009. If they match, you have your answer.

Those look nice,but I prefer the 08 SAP rims
