I can't answer your size questions but when swapping wheels and you have TPMS, all you have to do is buy the bands and the garage that is swapping out the wheels will be able to transfer the other components of TPMS to the new bands. I will provide a website that I bought my bands from. I think I paid $70. It is worth it just to buy the bands, let the service garage do their thing and you still have the TPMS working for you. The bands are permanently affixed to the wheel but all the other components are transferable.

What is the website you ordered the vinyl decals from?

I have a set, almost brand new, of 20" inch wheels for sale for Ford Edge. Having a change of heart and want a different design. Bought in early March, 2009. Click on link below to see picture and original cost. Asking $175 each. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/f...&vid=013214 If the link does not work, go to www.discounttiredirect.com, search on wheels for Ford Edge 20". The wheels are Privat Netz, the forged grey ones.

I have a set of 20" chrome clad wheels from a 2008 Edge Limited FWD for sale. Mint condition with about 6,000 miles on them. Will not include TPMS. I am swapping them out for a grey painted wheel to match my Edge. Will let go for $125 each. In Northeast Ohio area. Will ship for additional cost.

Did you just order the straps and did they fit okay? All other TPMS parts were reusable? I am have a difficult time having this done because I do not want to pay $50 plus for the strap kit from Ford.

Do you have any pics of the ones you selected? I have been looking at after market and I cannot decide on style. Replacing the 20" chrome clad with either painted sliver or considering black. My Edge is Vapor Silver.

Did you paint yours as I see from the ebay link that it is stainless.

Regarding the Sync upgrade. I took someone's advice from this forum. To avoid paying for the upgrade, told the dealership that I was having connectivity issues with my MP3 and wanted upgrade to fix problem. I was having issues and getting an error message 'Program Content Error' on some of the songs. Long story short, uploaded upgrade, did diagnostics and found the internal USB cable to be defective and did not charge me for the upgrade.

Check out my pics. Went with the painting technique. Had a shop do it that specializes in tinting windows and other custom stuff.

Just had my tail lights tinted using the paint process. Had a shop do it. You can do various shades and they had a clear coat to protect. Posted pics. Having a shop do it cost me $110.

I have had one replaced already due to chipping, peeling and I had only 600 miles on it. I am now having all four replaced due to discoloring (brass color showing up). I do not anticipate those lasting as well. There was an Edge in the showroom at my dealership that had the brass discoloring on the wheels already. At least the dealership does not give me any issues with replacement. They did tell me that the wheels are on back order. Has anyone asked their dealership if they can swap out wheels for different ones instead of constantly getting chrome clad replaced because nothing is going to change...the design is flawed.

Can you provide pics? Been considering but don't like too many pieces and then there is the process of trying to select best color.

Very cool. I'm on board with Lex. Vapor Silver!

I am also very interested. I would need Vapor Silver color.

I took my 08 Limited FWD Edge in for first service with 6,500 miles. Two primary issues, other then getting an oil change was discoloring on the chrome clad wheels and wanted the Sync upgrade. I know the wheels and the Sync upgrade have been major topics on this forum. First the wheels, I had no problem with the Ford dealership replacing all four wheels. I was actually surpised considering they had an Edge on the showroom floor that had the brass discoloring already on the wheels. Anyway, they are on backorder. Dealership told me that there seems to be alot of issues high activity reordering the wheels. On to the Sync upgrade. I took someone's advice from this forum. To avoid paying for the upgrade, told the dealership that I was having connectivity issues with my MP3 and wanted upgrade to fix problem. I was having issues and getting an error message 'Program Content Error' on some of the songs. Long story short, uploaded upgrade, did diagnostics and found the internal USB cable to be defective and did not charge me for the upgrade. Question. Has anyone tried swapping the chrome clad wheels for some other wheel through their Ford Dealership, offering to pay any price difference? With the new wheels coming out for the 2009 Edge, just curious if that made any sense.

Thanks much. Looking to take in my 08 Edge for first service and will address it.

Do you know what work the service area did to correct the roll back?

I have noticed that as well. That sunshade is pretty thin, in fact if you press on it you will notice alot of give. Best advice is to have it open when your windows are open at higher speeds.

Would you believe that your response just made me realize that I did not terminate a destination and although there was no voice command on directions, it was still lowering the speaker sound. You're a genius. As soon as I read your reply, it immediately came to me. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated.

2008 Ford Edge Limited owner. Very cool and love driving it. Have 1,200 miles on it and noticed that the front speakers seem to cut out randomly for a few seconds when either the radio, cd or phone is putting out sound. Can't seem to find a pattern. It does it whether the speed volume adjustment is on or off. Wanted to push out to fellow Edge owners before making a trip to dealer if it continues. Very annoying.

Thanks for the tip. Any suggestions on the best way to fill those holes?

Just purchased 2008 Ford Edge Limited. Outstanding so far but really need to get rid of the front license plate bracket. I do not recognize the type of fittings they used to affix to bumper. Any suggestions?
