2005 Mercury Grand Marque Premier Edition
I purchased a 2005 Mercury GM with 13,000 Miles on it for $6,000
The tires were made in 2004 and cracking.... They will be replaced
I was looking at Rims and thinking of replacing with larger 18 inch rims but can't seem to find the perfect looking set that goes with this style of car.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.....
Car rides like its floating on a cloud.
I don't want to go larger than 18 and ghetto it out..... But something mild that matches the style of the car.
Thanks for any suggestions .......

Thanks for the info about the intake..... The sites I went to about this year and model never mentioned problems with the intake.

Its a 2005 GM Ultimate Edition...... I'm wondering if Ford still has new part.
When I first got it..... the shift indicator was not working.
Went to the Ford dealer and they claimed they couldn't fix it because the gauges were Digital and they only had replacement part for analog.
When I was having the new touch screen stereo system installed..... the guy installing the system had the dash removed so we could see behind the dash..... I asked him if he could find the problem. He found a screw had come undone back there.
He reattached the screw and indicator works like a champ..... I tipped him $100.00. Made my day.

Evertime I visit the family on the mainland.... we rent these cars. I've always wanted to own one.
