MLB Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Bought the TC in 17 and the Fusion wheels soon after. But couldn't bring myself to spend $1,000 AND not use the OEM tires so i waited till NOW (42,000 miles) to get them mounted. Liked them when I got them and love them now. They remind me of the old "turbine" wheels from the 60's and 70's that you'd see on really nice custom vans, but with a bit of modern twist. And cheap. Don't notice significant ride degradation from the 235/45/18 tires but they sure stick nice (summer tires). Going to put winter tires on the stockers.

connectvanplans Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 3 year is a long wait when you already had the wheels. I only made it to ~20,000 miles before storing the OEMs. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLB Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yeh, but it's my work/delivery van primarily. If it was my daily driver id have swapped them long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zalienz Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Nice! Those multi spoke wheels are a b*tch to clean, but aside from that, they look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asusme you've replaced them at this point. I have a first gen TC (2013) and am shopping for new tires as well as debating an upsize of tire rim. I see you've done that on your first gen, and reading your posts sounds like you've got a wealth of knowledge on the first gen. Would you get the firestones again? what size are you running and, if you upsized from stock, what improvements did you gain, lose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
