Greetings - I am a potential CMax owner and have a question about wheels. We are looking at buying a lightly used 2013 CMax SEL. My wife and I have talked about maybe swapping wheels just to make the CMax a tad more sporty; our preference is to use another Ford OEM wheel rather than an aftermarket wheel. From what I can gather there are several Fusion wheels that have the same bolt pattern - 5-108. We like (what I gather to be) part number DS7Z-1007-N. When I spoke to the parts department at the Ford dealer he told me that he couldn't guarantee compatibility. When I asked why he said that there might be clearance issues with the calipers, etc. He said he wasn't certain that they were incompatible, but that he wasn't sure they were, either. The wheels are non-returnable. Obviously I don't want to buy wheels that won't work. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on this? Also, when I was looking at the Fusion wheel part numbers, there were two - one described as "type 1" - the other described as 'type 2." The type 2 wheels were significantly more expensive. Any idea what the difference is? Thanks!!

Anyone running aftermarket wheels on their CMax? I like some of the Focus ST wheels and tire rack seems to have many options but wanted to check here for advice before diving in. Looking for something similar to the attachments.

HI from the Great White North! New to this site. I was getting tired of filling up two cars that guzzled gas, and ended up buying a 2013 C-Max SEL with 30,000Km (about 20,000 miles for the metric challenged).Love the car especially the colour (White Platinum) and interior toys. A few troubles, but nothing earth shattering. Anyway. The dilemma. I was looking for some different Rims for this beast to dress it up a bit and look somewhat unique. After weeks of research on Tire Rack, American Racing, etc. I think I've found what I really like, The Dilemma? This Wheel (BBS SR) comes in two colours - Anthracite Painted or Machined with Matte Graphite Accent. SURVEY - which do you think would look better? The Anthracite is $30 per wheel cheaper, but that's not really an issue. I'd like to see the wheels in person, but no one around here (Hamilton ON) seems to have stock. One of them even tells me they order from Tire Rack! Thanks!
