Nowak1981 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) I finally got my new wheels put together and installed today....what a journey. It took me nearly 6months but i finally got them. 2013 ford edge sport 22in wheels. $450 each Yokohama parada spec x 265-40r22 tires $260 each Tpms sensors $65 each Center caps 55$ each Having tires put together $175 ouch.....only to find out they wont fit cause the hub diameter was too small Having tires dissasembled $40 Having a machine shop bore out the hubs to fit the larger diameter 160$ Having the tires then reassembled another 175$..... So i think we are up to about 3900$. Thats a lot of dough just for wheels and tires...at least i didnt have to pay retail for the wheels $1800 each!!!!! So tell me, you think it was worth it? I think so. Couple that with h&r springs, blacked out grille....its getting closer. Next up quad HID retrofit or possible re-skinning the interior plastics with leather, red stitching and some piano black trim. I havent decided yet, i hate my seats enough to do them before the headlights. I need more cushion!!!

wannabang Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Looks real nice! I'm also planning on leather-wrapping some interior plastic. I just don't know when I'll get around to it. Quite a bit of money for all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenlxi Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 That looks great.... love it!! I'd love to do the sport wheels on my '07..... just can't afford that kinda stuff right now though, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellbine Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Wow, your Edge looks real clean. I love the look. Thanks to you I find myself, once again, wanting to lower my Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowak1981 Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) I love the fact that its lowered but ever since then i have been getting some squeking rubber from the strut isolators out side of that i really dont notice anything different other then how it looks. Id like to redesign a door panel kinda like what is in mercedes s class with a piano black peice of trim and some ambient lighting underneath..

RobbN Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Question: do you notice a huge difference in ride quality with the 22's ? I would love to pick up a pair, but my wife is afraid that the ride will be bumpy and she will feel every railroad track, bump, and crack in the road. - And as she has a tendency of getting car sick, I'd hate to buy them if its a valid point. Currently I have stock 18's on a '11 SEL Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I don't know that 10" wheels would allow you to not feel train tracks... I always feel those. Besides, if you're going fast enough, usually you can jump them... nahh not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevDionne Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 That look awsome man! Thats what i want to do for my edge 2009 sel.. Do you know where i can find those wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMAN Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) I am dealing with this myself. I'm trying to find a place to re size the wheel centers I will hopefully find out tomorrow if this one place can do it. He was going to see if he could do it on a bridge port to bore the size . When I was getting them install before i knew about this fun fact the guy putting the tires on he was questioning the fit of the 22's I said they have OEM 22's for the Edge and there shouldn't be any issues. So before putting the tires on the rims he dry fitted one. I didn't know that the wheel hubs was 63 mm on the rim and the 09 Edge has 70.5 mm . Can you tell me how your guy milled the centers out and how long ? The funny thing is that around my area there a tons of tool and die shops in my area but to find one to do this and not damage my wheels. I have a 2009 Limited as well but far as i know I don't have Tpms sensor on my wheels. Edited July 1, 2013 by KMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I hate the TPMS system. It get finicky when it's cold and my light turns on randomly during winter. I check my tire pressure before long trips and before a change in season. I look at my car enough to notice a flat tire. I don't think they're necessary.

KMAN Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Its my wife Edge and I just don't want the computer if it will always warning of low air pressure if there are no sensors. Plus I have a compressor in the garage I'm always looking at the cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowak1981 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 You need to look at machine shops that do industrial machining or farm and tractor machining. The machine shop that did mine did it on a lathe. I had to have the tires removed so he could clamp on to it. He just milled the lip out of the center, about 1inch deep, the depth wont matter, just grt the diameter right and you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMAN Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Well after 2 weeks I finally have the darn wheels on. A freind of mine had the rims mill on a C&C machine and his tool shop for free But I sandblasted a quad frame for the guy that did the work. The center caps from Tasca Ford parts for $130 for all 4 the TPMS bands new for $120 and Black chrome Lugs for $40. The tire center guys were checking up and down inside and out to make sure they were not going to rub or hit anywhere. After they pull the Edge out the installer said they make the Edge. And the best part is my wife is happy. Just waiting on Wendsday for the headlights to come in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
