ls973800 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Wow, those wheels look nice. You didn't need any hub centric rings to mount the Flex wheels? I know the 2011 and up Edges use a smaller hub bore than the 2010 and older, and I thought the Flex wheels had the larger bore opening. I checked eBay after seeing those on your car, but they get a bit too much by the time I would have to add shipping, center caps and TPMS sensors.

wlepse Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Pretty sure they were from a 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioldsnut Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Yes they are off a 2011 and I thought I needed rings too, but they have the same size hub. I found those close to home for 275.00 for wheels, lugs, center caps on Craigs list. I just used my sensors off the 17's. Then I found some new, never mounted tires for 570.00 including shipping off ebay. Cost me 80 bucks to have them mounted and balanced, so for 925.00 she's now a happy camper....

wlepse Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 very good deal indeed and they look great. I need to get another set for the wife to put dedicated snows on but haven't found anything local. Shipping kills the other deals I have found here and elsewhere. Maybe I'll get lucky like you in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioldsnut Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Yeah,,, I gonna be selling the 17's, but your right,,, shipping would be a ton.... I just put them on craigslist hoping someone local will need them... Good luck in your search wlepse.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far they are not as loud as the Hankook's were. They werent my first choice, but the price was right.... Thanks Mike............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Well, after seeing your wheels from the Flex, I decided to go with them also. I purchased some off eBay (no where near the FANTASTIC deal you got!) and this week will get the 20" chrome clad ones taken off. I'll use my tires from the factory wheels and have picked up some new TPMS sensors for a good price. Once I get them transferred, I'll put mine up for sale.

Feirstein Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Do you have an opinion on how the 17" fitted OEM shocks work with the much heavier 20" wheel and tire setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
