Default New Wheels, Pics inside!!

Work Emotion XD-9 Custom metallic black from the new Ford vehicle color line up
18x8 +45 Front
18x9 +38 Rear
225/40/18 Falken Tires

I have the center caps but leaving off for now. I have had these for about a month in Matte Gray Silver and hated the color combo on the Starfire pearl. Don't get me wrong the Matte Gray Silver finish looks amazing, just not with the white car. Let me know what ya think












Work lugs and caps installed


rears now have 265/35/18 installed

Thanks for all the comments guys!

I have noticed that speeds over 65 start to mess with MPG more than the oem wheels at higher speeds. I was getting a constant 45mpg pet tank and now I'm getting 40-42 mpg. If I stay under 60 the whole tank I will usually get 46-48, but rarely happens. I also have the Injen intake so not sure how much that affects it.

As for the caps I have the real work caps in now and it looks better. I'm debating black work lugs but not sure as the work cap is brushed stainless and has a black middle work logo/ signature.

The wheels fit so well but it has me wanting coil overs now.
