Winter Tire and Wheel Recommendations

[Shodan]

Here are some pics of the refinished rims as well as with the tires installed on my Explorer Sport. I hate to post pictures of my ride all dirty but what the heck thats how it will look for the majority of winter.

Creative!

Nice job...keep that snow in the Wildrose Province though...still have the SHELBY on the road here in Toronto, hopefully no snow for another month...

Looks like the rims are off of a 2012 Genesis as I found this:

Just ordered the 18 inch interceptor rims [MENTION=143001]84[/MENTION].00 each and slapped some hakka R2 SUV
on them and got the alloy center caps on ebay for 9 bucks each ( ford wanted 94.00 ) will install in a week or so.

Did you get the rims through the dealer or elsewhere? The $94 dealer price was that for 4 center caps?

The dealer wanted 94 per cap. the interceptor rims (18" 5 spoke interceptor) are 84 each from the dealer.
They wanted 159.00 for 20 collared nuts . I paid 19.00 on ebay . Pays to shop cheers

How did you get those wheels for so cheap.....most Police Agency's are freaking out about how costly those rims are.

I saw $300+ per wheel....

I would be interested in a part number when you get them.

My 17" steelies were $99 each from the dealer and the lugnuts to hold the wheel covers on them were about $12.50 ea ($250).

They're not alloy, they're just plastic...

the ad that got me curious was this one

http://links.focdealer.net/ctt?kn=9...g4NDMzOTM5MjES1&b=0&j=OTQ2MTIwNzgS1&mt=1&rt=0 and the part no for the 18" interceptor rims is DG1Z 1015 A @ 84.95
per rim good luck

I Googled that part number and its the right wheel but prices range $200-$300 each.

Your getting a great deal.

for the part # DG1Z 1015 A

That is what I paid for the 17" steelies for my Limited. When I mentioned that in a post, a member, I believe from Florida, mentioned that down there they were around $300 each. Looks like we get the better of this one, for a change.

Buy them fast, your getting an unreal deal.......does he ship to the West Coast?

I have a feeling the prices you saw were U.S. prices. They seem to be about 3 times our cost as I posted above.

just received a centre cap i bought on ebay and it's aluminum

There is no way a truck/car part is cheaper in Canuckastan then the US.

I went into Coastal Ford in Burnaby, BC and was quoted (on a invoice type printout) CDN$71.96 ea ($287.84 for 4) for DG1Z*1015*A.
No plastic center caps quoted.
TPMS - Kit: $43.15 ea ($172.60 for 4)
Very, very competitive on a variety of snow tires.

South Surrey Ford dealer "pencil'ed" $340 for same 18" steelies.


Richport Ford got it all wrong - quoted 17" wheels and tires plus pricing was nowhere near Coastal. I guess I was bothering the parts guy as he wasn't interested in looking into 17" vs. 18" for Sport...
IE: BB5Z*1015*A 17" wheel $99.95 ea!

I'd turn off your computer and head out to Coastal on Lougheed!

My guess is the Canadian dealers bought enough 18'"interceptor rims to satisfy the Ex Sport needs for winter tires and prices will go up in December when most winter tires have been sold.

There is now. Not sure why the U.S. price is 3 times what we pay but that has now been shown in 2 instances for the wheels.
