Robperri Report post Posted June 3, 2014 I bought the car for a reason. That was to cut fuel expenses and trips to the pump. So I searched for a good alternative 17" wheel to transfer my stock tires and TPMS over to. I believe the stock wheel is approx. 23lbs. I purchased 17 x 7.5 Sparco Assetto Gara wheels from Tire Rack. The Sparco's are 19lbs. with 45mm offset. The new wheels stick out 10mm (0.4") farther. When the tires wear out I might look at a lightweight 18" wheel. 2 SteveB_TX and hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrySql Report post Posted June 4, 2014 When people think of 'hybrids' they don't think of a car that looks that modern, aggressive and stylish. Good job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robperri Report post Posted June 4, 2014 What did you do with the stock rims? Once I take the obligatory pictures of my stock rims; I think I'll either sell all four or keep just one for a spare tire.What's a fair price for each with domestic shipping? When people think of 'hybrids' they don't think of a car that looks that modern, aggressive and stylish. Good job. Thanks! I might make an attempt at vinyl covering the horizontal slats of the grill next. I ordered 4 black w/chrome lettering Ford logos for the center caps too.

acdii Report post Posted June 4, 2014 What did those wheels cost? I am considering going to 17's due to availability of LRR tires in the 18" size, or lack thereof. I picked some out at TR but they are the same ones that CC has, and if I get those, and his go missing................... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TR has about 8 different LRR tires in 18" (235/45-18) size. You can do a search for LRR tires only. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
