I have to get rid of these factory "upgraded" 20" wheels - show me what you got! Anyone seen an Edge w/ Shelby Torq Thrust M?? I kind of like the old school muscle car wheels.

that is just great news ... after 3 hours of no call from my dealer - I called back... "do you want to make and appointment" NO I want to talk to somebody... "Well we have to see it".... you already have... "OK.. Do you want the service manager you call you back".... YES sounds like a waste of my time if your "new wheels" are still clicking!

waiting on a return phone call. thanks.

any update or fix on this??? my second set is clicking so bad!!

Steve, I have also noticed the "driveway clicking" as the sun heats up the plastic covers! I hope they fix this.. I'm on my 2nd set - I'll get them replaced (again) when they get the problem fixed.

Every morning I back out of my driveway and once I start to move forward I get this loud "moan" (hard to discribe) ... "moan"....."moan"... "moan".... then slowly it fades away. I'm guessing it has something to do with the brakes. If I hold the brakes lightly for the first 100 feet no "moan" - or at least not as loud. Anyone else have this?? 08 Edge Lim - 20" wheels. I thought at first it was just over night rust rubbing off but wouldn't that come off after backing up 30' out of the driveway? My driveway is on an incline so I'm using the brakes to back out.

I have an 08 Edge Limited, Black - I've heard the same sound - not all the time - usually just backing out of my driveway (slight incline) I have also heard the same sound from my wife's 07 Mazda CX9 - similar car.

My 20" Chrome Clad wheels were doing the same thing (noise and turning brass) 800 miles at the time -wheels were backordered for a couple of weeks but the dealership replaced all four wheels. The new wheels were "clicking" before a got home - I'm about 5 miles away from the dealership! Service Manager said he would call Ford - that was a week ago - no word yet.

So one day after getting the wheels replaced.. they are clicking again.. this time not just turning but going straight too. I think these ones are worse than the first set! I stopped at the dealer on the way home from work - service manager said he would see if he could find out any more details and call me back. He said the only things that were reused were the center caps, lugs, and tires. I asked him if Ford would be willing to downgrade (if you want to call it that) to a different wheel. I doubt that - but worth a try. Heck - I'd accept some of my $800 premium wheel upgrade back - then go out and buy aftermarkets. (that will never happen) I'll see what the say next week... but for a 30k plus car this is not acceptable. So far I love the rest of the car.

No problem. yeah my pet peeve is "my bad" - that gets me going. I see what you mean about RIM / WHEEL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim_(wheel)

wheels... rims... i hear you.. relax. btw - they replaced the entire WHEEL!

So they replaced all four wheels yesterday... so far no clicking noise... I'll give it a few weeks - i bet it comes back. I do have to take it back - looks like they damaged one rim (maybe mounting it?) the clad part and the rim both have small dents (about the size of a flathead screwdriver). Plus this rim also has a crappy chrome job - you can see that brass color towards the hub. Worst part about this entire deal is that I never really "loved" these rims. Maybe it's time for some nice aftermarkets.

I don't have the factory NAV option - maybe that saves me from the Line In bug.

glad it worked.. i have noticed that the shuffle setting must reset after the car restarts - i've had the same song replay in the morning and during my trip home from work. What do you mean getting Sync to alway recongnize the USB device? I keep my ipod connected and each morning Sync connects and starts playing from the day before. Only once or twice Sync got mixed up and connected to the media stream of my bluetooth phone (which i don't use)????
