Here's one I left out with the SEMA pics.

I usually switch all my bulbs out to Silverstars I like the look better and they are brighter. Some vehicles are brighter than others. I have not looked it up but does anyone know if you can put Silverstars in the active headlights of the MKX?

Some pix of an Edge they did at the dealership I work at.

3d carbon kit and 295/45R20 on Axis rims. Not to much but it looks good.

That is very clean looking a set of springs would make even better looking. Do you have any idea the width of those wheels?

Unless you are really stuck on the idea of the factory 20s I would get some quality aftermarket rims and tires. Either way it will not be cheap but my guess is that aftermarket would be cheaper unless you finds factory ones on E bay. Good luck with your search.

For pimps or senior citizens...

I though the result would be closer to drawing...

Here's a couple more

I was thinking about a set when you posted this now it's a must. 1 week 1 ding. I am hoping that they mught go right over the ding.

I know there is a photo gallery but I figured more people look in here and may get mod ideas. I found these pictures whiles surfing. I know some are ugly but beauty is in the eye of the holder. If anyone finds a shot of the finished product MKX that Barry's Speed Shop was doing let me know.

Only car I have never had problems with is Acura and Honda but most of their cars are hideous now (IMO) in fact we traded in a 2004 Acura TL on the MKX. My wife hated the looks of the MDX and it rode like it was a cheap suv. Oh well I hope BleedingEdge got what he liked and hope we made a good choice.

I swear by the clear bras. If at all possible I drive any cars I buy directly to my the tint and clear bra shop. I have everything that is painted on the front end done as well as head lights, door handle pockets and below the back hatch. It is not cheap but I never have to deal with the chips at all and I live in an area they but sand on the roads in the winter. Hope that helps.

Anyone know the details on Bleededges setup? It appears to be 22s without a drop.

I also found these and they seemed pretty cool looking. This is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Unfortunately all the flat face 5 spoke wheels tap out at 20 in.

Here they are on an Edge.

Thanks for all the information folks you all have some great looking Edges/MKXs. No offense to anyone but my wife really likes the look and stance of ramhi4x's setup. ramhi4x are you out there I would like any details like wheel width etc you can provide. My wife is worried about switching the springs out so does anyone have pics of 22s without drop. Sorry fols I don't mean to be a pain I just would like to do it right the 1st time. -Kevin

Thanks for the info and support. If possible can you guys provide wheel width of your aftermarket setup as well as tire sizes. The wheels my wife likes (TSW Vortex) come in a max diameter of 20 in and 8.5 and 10 in width. I want to make sure it doesn't look like stock but I think a 10 in width will be too wide. Thanks again..

Well we took the plunge and got my lovely wife a 2008 MKX. She absolutely loves the vehicle as does the whole family. While we were buying it she said "you are going to get me wheels and tires right?". First off she doesn't care for a lip on the wheels she likes the flat face look but not stock. We were thinking of 20" TSW Vortex in chrome since they are similar to the Q5s she had on her Acura. The largest they come in is 20" with widths of 8.5 and 10. I told her if we get 20s she should drop it because of the large gap which would probably be they case for 22s as well. I have seen the pics in the galleries but not all the details are in there. I would like to see as many pics as any of you guys/girls can provide with the details like width, diameter and tire sizes as well as opinions on ride also any spring info. She would not mind a stiffer ride but would like it smoother that her Acura that had 18s with 45s and definetly not want the rubbing. Anything you can privide would be helpful.

Living in Minnesota, I got my Edge at the end of winter (2/28) and just got clipped by about two heavy snows if I remember correctly. Anyhow, it drove just as well if not 'easier' than my mom's Land Rover. In the past, if I had appointments when it snowed, I would stop by her house and switch cars (she's retired) in lieu of driving my Intrepid. No need to do so anymore.

Thanks, thats reassuring. Any other snow evaluations, folks?

My wife want's an AWD Edge for winter driving. Can anyone tell me how their AWD is working for them in real snow conditions. Thanks

Bolt pattern on Mustang/Fusion/Escape/Edge is 5 x 114, so wheels are interchangeable.

Two things to watch for -

overall wheel/tire diameter - if you have 18" wheels you'll need lower profile tires to ensure your wheel rotation remains the same.

the Edge tire pressure monitoring system may not function if Fusion wheels are not equipped with it.

 

PS - I have a set of 2005/07 V-6 Mustang alloy wheels for sale!

I think the Fusion wheels would look awesome. Does anyone think that the vehicle weight could pose a prob?

Just a newbie saying Hi. I am not an owner but my wife is hinting a lot. I will be asking a lot of opinions here so bear with me.
