An update on range/consumption from my commute into work this morning. It's a 46mile (one-way) commute, mostly highway going 65-70. I typically average around 3.5-3.7mi/kWh in the mornings and with the new wheels/tires I averaged 3.3mi/kWh this morning (per the built-in readings).

I will say that I'm a bit surprised at the difference in ride quality. It seems improved, where I didn't really expect much of a difference. I don't feel like it's as "twitchy" as it used to be? I dunno, maybe I'm looking too much into it, but my drive in this AM seemed more pleasant than usual.
I am little surprised you are surprised "difference in ride quality". In all the YouTube videos I have seen the most common complaint is that the 225s were just too small. Whenever anyone drives the EV6 or Ionic5 they think the handling is better. I believe this is due to the 255 tires.

The 245s from the GTPE seem like a good idea to make the SEL/Prem a better car. I am wondering if 255s like the EV6 might be even better?

Trying to get these wheels has been a saga.

First I ordered from one vendor (was told I should have them the next week). Then canceled my order after 2 weeks with no delivery estimate.

Last week I went ahead and ordered from Ford Accessories (figured if I'm going to wait I might as well get the 20% discount). Order arrived today and I called the dealer to confirm I could pick up only to have them tell me only 2 wheels showed up.

I called Ford Accessories to see if there was a second inbound package...nope. First C/S rep told me the dealer has to return the 2 wheels they have :rolleyes:. I hang up, called back and the second rep was more helpful, escalating and creating a case # for me.

We'll see how that works out, but right now I'm the proud owner of half a set of GTPE wheels.

That stinks! I got two separate tracking numbers from Ford Accessories for mine.

Good luck with their CS - I got escalated and a case number (that I've left open) for the center cap issue, but they claim the only option I have is to return everything.

If I may ask, where did you buy the tires for these wheels? I just placed an order for these wheels from Levittown Ford but not sure about the tires. Thanks

Lakeland(?) Levittown Ford has/had a special running for just over $1k for the set, though they are not in stock. Probably a good (better?) price even if you have to pay shipping.

https://www.levittownfordparts.com/sku/m-1007k-m2080.html

Actually, looking at the link they may be in stock now. Last week it said 30+ day estimated delivery.
Thanks for the link! I was waiting for these to come back in stock at ford but ordered from this place instead for $1,287.39 OTD

I got 'em from TireRack - seemed to be about the same price everywhere when I checked.

Thank you for answering all my questions, I really appreciate it. How are you liking them so far? I know you just got them but do you notice any significant difference between these and the premium wheels? Thanks again!

I had mentioned earlier that I was very pleasantly surprised as the improvement in ride quality. Honestly, I was getting these wheels mostly for aesthetics. I figured there would be a small change in handling, but I didn't think it'd make the ride comfort noticeably better.

I just ordered a set from them and was pleasantly surprised when I put my Virginia address in that I could get them Fed Ex for $110 which brings total to $1200. Hopefully they won't send me an email and say they can't ship for that little amount, I've had that happen before.

I really like Discount Tire and plan to use them, they sell the factory Pirelli tires for $249 each.

It might be because of the distance. I think they ship from NY and your address is in Virginia. I’m in SoCal for it was $207.54 for me with FedEx. They didn’t charge taxes so that was a savings.
