[Escap-Fate]

I need ideas for black and chrome wheels. There are so many to choose from. I was wondering if anyone has a ford escape with black and chrome wheels. Thanks

How much were your rims? Looks nice

 

[escapedtroy]

$3000 retail but who pays retail these days lol

Mine arent Black and Chrome, but the best style I think is 5 spoke on an escape, or split 5 spoke like escapedtroy and myself.

For price, I'm in canada. Usually everything here is expensive, but I got mine for $2100 with falken tires.

O cool. I'll look into those.You think they still sell them?

tough question...why? because only you can decide.
What fits ur taste then will definitely fit ur ride...and also what kind of look you want 4 ur ride.
Mines are BOSS 20'', got a sweet deal on the street.

I am REALLY liking the black wheels on yours. The more I see black wheels and black grills, the more I want them. Very nice.

Liquid Metal makes some nice black rims...

Hi mograbow.
Presentable tire rims there. :thumb:
Hope you don't mind, but i have been mentally accessorising your escape.
I am picturing some, nice chrome side steps on your car.

Maybe similar to EscapeDtroys " bladerunner " sidesteps.

Love both sets of rims, I dont want to mess with my wheels because I took out a tire/wheel protection plan for 5 years (since they offered a year for free and then discounted price for extra 4 yrs). I already had one flat that had to be swapped for a new tire and i didnt have to pay the 230 for the new one, so I am afraid to buy a new set of black rims/wheels to void that offer.

But they just look so good, that I might have to figure out a way to get something done. Would buying rims affect my tire/wheel protection plan?

I am looking into new wheels as well. I really like the almost-all black look with a bit of silver to break it up. I priced out the following:

Elbrus 106 wheels - 18"
Goodyear LS-2 255/55R18 tires

I will keep the stockers with the Michelins on for winter wheels and have a complete summer wheel set. Both will have the TPMS so I won't have the pressure light in the dash. All said and done with rims, tires, lugs, TPMS, balanced and installed for under $1,500.

I did a quick mock-up. Me Likey....

Don't forget that you'll have to reinitialize your tpms each time you put the other set on the car...

Yep. You are correct. The tire set that I priced includes new TPMS sensors for all 4 wheels. Need to re-program each sensor when they go on. The tire package includes the scanner tool to program the new set. However I don't think that the after market scanner would work for the Ford TPMS units in the factory set. Not sure if/when the stockers go back on if I would have to go to the dealer to have them re-programmed or not. Either way it is better than swapping out the factory sensors every time. Take apart 8 tires twice a year? No thanks.
