Due to an unexpected circumstance that has Ford buying back my 2014 Fusion Energi, I now have my recently purchased set of 19" Titanium H-Spoke wheels and tires for sale. These were new take-offs that I bought from the big eBay seller in Michigan about 3 1/2 months ago. They now have 3,300 miles of use on them. The condition is excellent. 2 wheels have a tiny scratch near the lug nut area from the seller where it looks like a socket touched the rim but it is only noticeable if you are looking from about 12 inches away. No scratches from my use, no curb hits, etc. Really great condition. I had not planned to sell these but now that my FFE is going back to Ford I had to return the car to stock and I am not planning on another FFE, at least not right away. I thought I would offer these to the community before I put them on eBay. Priced for quick sale - $1550 shipped using fedex ground. Setup is exactly as I received them, with OEM TPMS. This is a really great upgrade for the FFE, somehow these lower profile tires have better ride quality and lower road noise than the stock 17" Michelins, as well as looking great on the car. Fitment is perfect, or course being OEM parts. Here are a few pictures. I can send more/higher res via email if interested. Just pm me. Thanks for looking!

That should be a great combination!

The lower road noise was an unexpected surprise for sure, but a really nice one!

Thought I'd add to this thread since I am having a similar problem. At about 5,000 miles, suddenly my late-build 2014 Energi started making a “clunk” at low speeds, like parking lot speeds, at throttle tip in after the brakes had been applied. Clearly it was something that was loading and unloading from brake and engine torque. It was only really noticeable in EV mode at first, when driving in "engine on" mode the problem was not really noticeable and it seemed to only occur as speeds <10MPH. So I itemized all this information and took it in to the dealer. They initially dismissed that there was any issue other than “the electric brake noises” and “brake pad chatter”. This misdiagnosis completely floored me so I insisted that they test it again and follow the driving pattern that I had already given them. Then, the problem was replicated, however the tech that did this level of work was booked up so they asked me to pick it up and return it a few days later which I did. The tech inspected the car and believed that a motor mount was defective so this was ordered and installed. This did not fix the problem. The tech still believes that it is a motor mount problem so the dealer plans to replace the other 2 mounts (there are 3 in total). The complication here is that 1 of the 2 remaining mounts is on backorder, has been on backorder since my car was worked on in early August, and is projected to be on backorder until about the middle of September – how this can be possible while new Fusion Energi’s are in continuous production is beyond me. Meanwhile, the problem was getting worse and worse with the noise audible (and felt) at virtually all speeds in either EV or engine mode. When I learned a few days ago that the missing mount would not be delivered for another 2 weeks I reached out to Ford CR on the CMAX energi forum, who immediately connected me (Thanks!) with Ford CR who authorized a loaner rental for 10 days after agreeing with my concern that it would probably not be a great idea to continue driving the car under the existing conditions. So I dropped off the car at the dealer this morning, however the loaner car was a fail due to the dealer-based Hertz rep disappearing right before I walked into his office at 7:28 (they open at 7:30), with a “will return at” clock… set to 8:00! This would have meant being completely late to work so I took the dealer shuttle home and grabbed another car for today’s commute. I’ll sort out the loaner car tomorrow when there is plenty of time to burn. To be fair to the dealer, they have no control over the Hertz office and quickly accommodated my request for a ride home, as well as they want to fix the car as much as I do. They are at the mercy of parts availability, and would certainly had done the mount installation by now had the parts been available. Anyway, for now my 4-month old purchased Energi is sitting at the dealer with a powertrain clunk waiting for parts. I’ll update the post when there is a diagnosis.

I am targeting 35-36psi now. How about your car? I see you also have the same wheels.

It is a little hard to say for sure, but the hit seems to be about 2MPG. My average over about 5,000 miles was 64 and it seems to be settling to about 62 since the wheel change. Well worth it IMO, also whenever the time comes to replace these tires I will get a "green" replacement. I have not tried to have this done, the offset seems to be less than 0.5MPH so I'm not worried about it.

The new set of stickers are going fast, there are less than 3,000 stickers left as of Aug 25.

We have a 2013 C-Max Energi (currently with about 15K miles), we have experienced a CD player failure (dealer replaced it), and a rattle in the headliner (dealer repaired it). Otherwise, it has worked out really well and is a great commuter car. There have been a few software updates for various modules, so I would recommend that you make sure everything is up to date if you decide to buy it.

Looks really great! What ballast did you go with, and how is the HID function working out? Any flickering or balky start up of the HID part? Did you go with internal mounting of the ballast?

Thanks! These are the OEM Ford Fusion wheels and tires that are an option for the non Energi/Hybrid Titanium model Fusion, you can see them on the Ford build a vehicle website. I bought this setup from the eBay seller in Michigan that always seems to have sets of new takeoffs. The tires are Continental SportContact, not sure of the exact model number. They are working very well, though. I am really impressed with the handling and braking improvement, yet no discernible increase in harshness and actually a decrease in road noise. I thought long and hard about getting some aftermarket 19's and there are some really nice and lightweight offerings out there but ultimately I decided to stay with OEM to avoid the offset change and need to go to an 8.5" width rim and 245 width tire.

Thanks for this! I checked my car today and I saw the graphic. However, it is very faint and I probably would never have noticed it were it not for this thread!

That should be a terrific setup! Be sure to post some photos when you are finished with the mods. I would love to retrofit the OEM dual exhaust rear valence onto my car. Even though the IC motor is often not running while I am driving ;) having the dual outlets would still look great!

Thanks, I really like the new wheels and tires. The size of the Fusion really demands something larger than 17" wheels IMO. There is a fuel economy cost, though. It is hard to know the exactly but I would estimate about 2-3MPG with my current tires (which are not low rolling resistance). Still well worth it.

Based on what you have tried with your collision warning, it sounds like your system is not functioning. I have mine turned down to "Low" and it still detects vehicles that are not really in my path as a possible collision. I have never noticed a "U" when I have used adaptive cc and while following a vehicle, however I have never looked for it either. There's no question it is working though. I will check this on my way home tonight!

Time for a trip to the dealer...
