LW Titanium with sports pack panther black

[unida767]

Finally took delivery and had to share.

I've got a set of brand new 18" wheels with tyres after swapping for the North American machine faced 17s. PM if interested.

[jonohoang]

looks amazing... did you just polish it too?

[dannyhilton]

Looks amazing buddy. The US Spec wheels look bloody tops too. Did you drive on the 18” wheels at all?

[unida767]

Thanks guys.

I can't seem to stop cleaning it. OCD

Only dealer delivery K's on the 18" wheels. I couldn't wait to be as black as possible.

So you couldn't check the different turning radius between the 18's and the 17's?
I wonder if there is a difference in the steering rack lock to lock on cars with standard 17's and the Titanium's with the 18's, or is it just the wheel size that makes the difference?

I should have done a proper before and after. I was thinking the same when the car was on its way. I was to impatient to get the black wheels on.

are you selling the wheels individually? would not mind a proper spare 18"

No just as a set. And not on eBay yet either. Just here for fellow Ford forum fanatics.

[hnn17]

can i ask about the tyre pressure sensors, do they swap over to the new set or did you have to buy 4 new ones ?
and where did you get the 17s from? thanks

I was about about to buy a new set when I got the wheels but my dealer confirmed that we don't have TPMS's on our cars.
Tasca Ford - this is the link and part number.

Hi I am in Geelong.
Is $500 per wheel/tyre sound fair to everyone? I have no idea
The guys at Goodyear said that would be fair.

[jonohoang]

sounds reasonable...

You're very welcome mate.

The car is awesome. It has such a smooth ride. I have to drive to Dandenong every now and then and it used to kill me. Did it again last Friday and I barely felt it. Adaptive cruise makes it stupidly easy.

Nut shell - best thing I have ever owned.

I hope you love yours too pal.

[jonohoang]

Hi James,

Just wanted to thank you once again for the wheels. I just picked it up from Ron.

thanks for looking after your FF pals

p.s was speaking to Ron about the SE pack, really should of spent extra for the SE - always hearing good things about the adaptive Cruise control.

[Ron60]

As Jonathon said, thankyou from me as well James.
A very easy and pleasant experience.

[unida767]

You're very welcome thanks Ron and Jono. I think the best part is they're going to people who love their FoFo's and not some tool putting them on his Toyota.
I had for financial reasons ordered and paid for a Sport but couldn't resist the Titanium with SE for long. My main reasons were the HID's/DRL, and the adaptive cruise. Besides I'd still be waiting for the Sport if I hadn't jumped on the Titanium.
I think I could start asking for money from Ford. I tell everone how wicked it is.
