I must say, Ford is doing the best job of the big 3 coming up with stylish wheels for their vehicles...my buddy who works as a regional Business Development something-or-other for Ford just picked up his brand new (free) 2014 Taurus Limited and those wheels are AWESOME!



And for the record, he did put in for a SHO, but his seniority lost out and ended up with a regular limited, which I'm pretty sure he said has the 2.0 EB, which I didn't know they offered...I'd take a free $43k car anyday!   :blink:

Might I also add that he gets a new car every year or 30k miles...then they send them off to auction.

Sadly it is the wife's car, so I can't go too crazy on it...just a simple tune for now.

I love when that happens.

I get a 12k allowance on my vehicle every year, it's not much but it helps with all the driving I do.

Sent from a mobile, I think.

I do like those wheels...but I don't know if they would look right on the SHO...seem more luxury oriented then performance oriented IMHO.

I've seen two 14' Sho's this past week and both had those wheels.  Personally not a fan and it even makes me appreciate my flower power wheels.

Just thinking, those wheels would look pretty cool if the black were color coordinated to the car's color.

I finally got to see these wheels in person after seeing them on the net for a while.  I was hoping they looked better in person, but thought they looked pretty plain.  The cars I saw them on were SEL's.

Not bad, but the flower wheels have really grown on me.
'13 SHO, non PP, all other options.  Stock for now.

Stick a Ferrari or a Porsche logo on them to make them look mighty appealing!
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
