I am thinking of replacing the unbalanceable TIS 20 inch wheels that came on my 2012 from the dealership with a set of black 18 inch Ford Racing wheels.

Anyone on here have FR wheels?

How do they ride? Any balance issues at all? Since they are produced by Ford, I would think they should mate well with the car.

Please give some advice.

 

OEM quality. I have the 18x9.5 SVT wheels for winter and they are just like any other factory wheel. Definitely a good choice.

 

i dont even know what the TIS wheels look like but sounds better replacing them with what you said already

 

They are aftermarket wheels that Roush used in 2011 on the "dub edition."

They are impossible to balance, and create a constant, annoying vibration in the steering wheel and throughout the seats.

 

I've got the black Ford Racing '07 GT-500 look wheels with my winter tires, and they're perfect. No problems.

 

replace em then chunk em

 

Are Ford Racing wheels hubcentric?

Do they require an adapter?

I am just really nervous about balance issues since I have had so much trouble with the TIS wheels.

 

which wheels do you want exactly

These wheels.

 

need no adapter, as long as the TIS wheels are the same size as the ford racing wheels (18x8) then just go to ford or a tire shop and have them swapped & balanced

 

All authentic Ford Racing wheels for the Mustang are Hub-Centric wheels. They will balance as good as factory wheels as well.

Unfortunately, wheels are only half that battle. You need good quality tires if you want to avoid tire balance and cold flat-spot issues.

 

Any tire suggestions?

I had good luck with Continental Contritrac DWS' on my 17 inch Honda Factory Performance rims.

 

Hi newspaper boy...if the TIS wheels came on your 2012 from the dealer...they should be under warranty and replaceable if they are defective/unbalanceable. Call them up first.

 

I have these but they are the polished ones from the 2012. I replaced a set of AMR wheels with Ford wheels. Seeing as aftermarket wheels are hit or miss on being able to be balanced I just went back to genuine OEM Ford.

 

I know we are addressing balancing issues here, but also check if the brake retaining clips were removed...aftermarket wheels will have issues at 60+ mph if they are still on:

I just got a set of wheels and tires from AMR and there was a little shimmy in the steering wheel at speeds over 50 mph. As nuts as it sounds, I pulled the fronts last night and took off the clip mentioned above, put it back together torqued it all down and much to my surprise it made a vast improvement. Thanks for the tip. Much appreciated.

 

Glad the info. helped you!!!

 

Yes! Pull those darn clips
Out! Makes a huge difference!
