UK wheel choice

[stevec]

Who, like me. is not too impressed with the wheel choice we have in the UK?
I am not overly enthused with black wheels and never have been and really dont like the nickel alternative.
Thinking I may just get the black ones that come with the V8 and paint them silver. Also, I actually prefer the wheels on the Ecoboost. Dam site easier to clean as well!

Wanna swap? I like the v8 black wheels,
I didn't order the custom pack coz I hate chrome,
but I'm going to stick with ECOBOOST , coz I do 50/50 city and highway.

I might give that some thought.

I prefer the GT wheels, but wouldn't like to clean them.

I've been looking on ebay USA site for possible winter wheel/tyres. You could get some of those nice diamond cut (or whatever they are) 20's and keep the stock black for winter? Bit of a hefty price to pay mind you. May also get stung from insurance company for 'modifing'.

Wonder if the Mondeo/Vignale wheels would fit? There may be a few more options here? Probably not an option at the point of sale though.

On the subject of wheels, anyone considering getting a spare? I understand the ford space saver won't fit (PP brakes), so we've got to look for other solutions if we want a spare.

Ideally I would want a get me home spare and I will be looking for something to put in the boot.
Looking at the price list that has come out the nickel lustre wheels look okay. The other pics I have seen of them I didn't really like. So I think I will go for the whole pack and have the satnav, wheels and music upgrade

What wheel choice? LOL. I dont think there is a choice for the EcoBoosts at all! But yes, bit disappointed with the lack of options there.
Lucky for me I really like the black EB wheels...they look pretty slick on the magnetic. Dont look quite right on other colours though.
