Edgieguy Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 They're Forged, Polished, AND Clear Coated. Actually I found this out, because one of my rims was NOT clear coated! I showed it to the dealer, showing him that I was able to polish it using Blue Magic Metal Polish and they replaced the wheel. All the rest are clear coated. How this escaped out from the manufacturer this way is anyones guess. Someone said it might have been grabbed for QC check before clear coat and them dumped into inventory later?

JOEHIO Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Maybe it was a "monday" or "friday" wheel. Glad you caught this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogregb Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Forged, really, good to know, that's why they are so expensive. There should be a huge weight savings then, anyone know:shades: how much??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal3thousand Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Forged, really, good to know, that's why they are so expensive. There should be a huge weight savings then, anyone know:shades: how much??? Actually, the size makes for a weight spending (opposite of savings? :lol). Or should I say weight increase, in this case. Apples to Apples, if you have a cast rim this size, it would no doubt be heavier due to the extra material needed for the same strength. The location of the weight in a Forged rim CAN BE more beneficial as well, as the weight can be kept towards the center of rotation, which reduces rotational inertia. Who really knows if Ford took advantage of that during wheel design. The serviceability and the durability of the forged rims is really the most attractive part IMHO. But its true that unsprung weight on the Sport's rims is much higher than other trims and the specialized suspension bits are a testament to that. That's the main reason the Limited has a better 0-60 than the Sport although losing on power and gear ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal3thousand Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Found an OEM 22" on eBay for $575.00 with $35.00 shipping.. That makes a set pretty affordable... $2,420 for a set delivered. EDIT: Linky Edited April 7, 2011 by cal3thousand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Wow, and it's reconditioned. After markets are not only nicer, they're stronger and lighter for less money... But as someone stated, exclusivity comes with a price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Edge 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Is Ford serious? $1,100 for ONE try these guys, they are in Aurora http://www.carcone.com/ http://carconeswheelrefinishing.com/ Thanks for the referral but they were useless! and I would NOT recommend them to anyone!!! My Story: I found a place in Ottawa that said they could repair my rim but told me to try Carcones first as they are closer (3 hour drive away). I called them and spoke to Russ, I explained that I own a 2011 Ford Edge sport with a 22" rashed rim that needs to be repaired. I asked if that is something they can fix, he said they can fix it but he would need to see it in person first. I also mentioned that I had pictures and could email them to him but again he said he would have to view it in person. When I arrived I met with Russ and as soon as I pulled back the plastic bag that was covering my tire and rim he said "No im sorry but I cant fix it because its ANODIZED". I asked him what that ment and he said " its a type of finish on the rim and they wont attempt to fix it. Keep in mind he has not even seen my damage that needs to be fixed. Before I left I asked him if he knows of anyone that can fix this and he said no, sorry. I called the shop in Ottawa that referred me to this crappy place and told them what Russ had said about my rim being ANODIZED. They said it cant be ANODIZED because its a polished rim. He said he would call Russ to find out what he is talking about. When I received a call back from my guy in Ottawa he said Russ didnt remember me at first but then told him that they dont have machines big enough to work on a 22" rims!!!!!!. NOTHING ABOUT IT BEING ANODIZED!!! Russ/Carcones was a complete waist of my time, he has no idea what he is doing. Learn from my mistake! :stop: Bottom line, I pick up my repaired rim next week from Ottawa. I will post before and after pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
