Lost a total of 30km in range. Could be my driving tho, who knows?
do those wheels improve the rides comfort ?
On a side note, is that background sky some kind of a poster? Isn’t Norway dark throughout the day and year ;)?

Hi all! First post so go easy please :)

I've been doing my Mach E research for a while and I'm on the verge of placing an order for a RWD XR model. However, I'd like to swap out the factory fitted 18" wheels for the 19" set. I asked the Ford order team but they said I'd have to place a standard car order from their website and then sort out the different wheels with my chosen dealer for aftermarket fitting.

So this leaves me with a couple of questions that hopefully an expert on here can answer!

Is there any benefit to a dealer of me selecting them for my car order? So, am I likely to be in a position to bargain for the new wheels because they want my business, or does it make no difference to them at all?

What do I do with the surplus set of 18" wheels and tyres? Any ideas if a dealer would buy these off me, or where could I sell them? I realise I can just whack them on ebay but I'm wondering if there's a clever option I've not considered.

Cheers!
I am thinking of ordering the RWD extended soon and notice on checkout at ford.co.uk there is an option to add 19 inch wheels for £299 (dealer extra) 5 x 2-spoke design, Liquid Ebony.

My dealer emailed me today and asked why I had ordered one 19inch wheel ?
Turns out that figure of £299 in for one wheel???

I don’t think that one wheel comes with any rubber either ?
