Winter Tire & Wheel Package - No More

[capt512]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I contacted TireRack this week to see if they still planned to offer the steel wheels (like OEM that have been offered for years) for CVs, Grand Marquis, and Marauders, and was advised that they distributor they used for them is no longer going to produce them, so they will not be carrying any of the steel wheels. Just fyi.

Stock steelies are still available from www.tascaparts.com, at least they were a month or so ago when I ordered one for a full-sized spare for a GM.

You can also use I believe 99-04 or 05-09 V6 16" wheels. Check ebay for those.

ctrlraven - what v6 model? Mustang? Did they change the suspension earlier on them so the pre03 offset wheels work?
Tasca is $100ea = $400+shipping = 437.30 for wheels. Was trying not to spend that much on wheels if I don't have to, there are 17" steelies on ebay for $90shipped each new, but the 17" tires look to be much more expensive.?

I got mine from a junkyard off an old cop car.
They're only winter wheels...lol so they're not perfect, but I got all 4 plus caps & lugnuts for a hundred bucks.

Must be nice, they are expensive as diamonds around here. Even the junkyards want $100+ea for them around here, and thats all beat up, its litterally cheaper to buy them new from a dealer around here. Check craigslist daily and in the past year there hasn't been one person selling them. I can get some like new refurbished from RockAuto for $68ea shipped, so thats probably what I'm gonna have to do. Amazing that I have to spend $300 for steel wheels. Checked ebay and the prices are more on there.

Two years ago. I bought aluminum Grand Marquis rims in awesome condition for $125 shipped to my house off eBay.

Thats a heck of a deal, nothing like that on there now, and I usually check biweekly to see if anything new has been added and no deals even close to that. Mostly just stores on there now.
