Can anyone with aftermarket wheels on their 2010+ Taurus' post pics. I am curious what styles everyone is using. I am leaning toward Demoda Concerto's, black with polished lip. What do you think of those? Thanks.

Geswek shopped these on for me.  I don't have them.  Yet.

They are TSW Tremblants.

For those of you with the Nurbs, what size/width/offset did you go?

And what is the bolt pattern?

The bolt pattern for our cars is 114.3 - often referred to as 114.  Same as Mustang and many other Fords.

Our stock wheels on SHO & Flex are 8" wide and have 38 offset.  You want to stay in that range, but offset varies when wheels are wider.  I am running 18" x 9" 32 offset TSW Interlagos that are also rotoforged like the TSW Nurburgrings.  My wheels fill out all the way to the fender lip like BPD's do in the rear.

Love this thread, good idea.  Everyone has nice wheels, really digging the gun metal tsw's.  I have Lasik eye surgery at the top of my list, followed by these:

2010 LMS Mycal 4X3Bar with K&N typhoon, 170 tstat, 534 plugs gapped .030, PPE Downpipes, magnaflow X Pipe and stock mufflers. Eibach Springs and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3.

The real advantage of the TSW Rotoforged wheels like Nurburgring and Interlagos, is their light weight for their size.   For instance, my 18" x 9"  weigh 18 lbs.  I am saving nearly 80 lbs in unsprung weight over stock. Combined with Pilot Super Sports & H & R Springs, the handling improvement is amazing. You can check the weights of various TSW Rotoforged wheel styles and sizes on their website.

Bob what did your stock wheels weigh? I've seen it but I forgot. I weighed my 20" aftermarket wheels and Hankook V112's at 62lbs apiece. The 17" wheels (17lbs) and 26x8.5R17 weighed 46lbs.
I'm looking at moving to 18x9" wheels and these tires:

I talked to Todd at TCE and he says the smallest wheel I can run for his Wilwood package is 18's so there I go. The 26" was a bit to short but those 27" tall tires should be perfect. :)

I dropped 60lbs all way around going from my PP wheels 20x8 to Nurburgring 20x8.5 all way around.

EB, is right, the handling is superb with H&R and lightweight wheels. I get so much more feedback on road, feel more planted.

I was going with the Konig Unknow myself but they didn't come in 9"wide and at 22lb 20"wheel they are light.

5x114.3, 40 offset, 20x8.5 (stock offset on PP 20's is 38 if you wanted to know).

They look great; I have 245/45/20 on right now but moving to 255/45/20 when I put my DSW tyres on.

I honestly love them with the H&R's; it took a lot of the gap out of the fenders. Big love to my guy Mike (bpd) for hooking me up. It seems like they are definitely a popular choice for a lot of us.
