NLPRacing Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Is it just me, or do the front wheels look different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Is it just me, or do the front wheels look different? They look similar to Mountaineer wheels. I wonder why they're different. Edited September 12, 2007 by rmc523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suv_guy_19 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 They look like Mountaineer wheels. Lemme find a pic.... That's what they look like to me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLPRacing Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) Is that the new Scion xB? Sure is, except it's not a POS like the XB. Edited September 13, 2007 by NLPRacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Is it just me, or do the front wheels look different? They're MOVING. It's an optical illusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suv_guy_19 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 They look similar to Mountaineer wheels. I wonder why they're different. Those aren't the wheels. There were different ones for 2006 only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnFan Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Is it just me or does the front wheel look different than the rear wheel? The front wheel is optional on the 06 Mountianeer, they look like hubcaps. The rear wheel looks like the chrome Flex wheel. The Flex had a Puncture?

YES - I'M YELLING! No, no its not. As you can see, Richard found the wheels that Lincoln and I were talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) Undoubtedly, as with the earlier spy shot showing unpainted bumpers, the base model Flex will feature unmatched wheels. Matching wheels will be an extra cost option :rolleyes: Edited September 13, 2007 by RichardJensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Flex looks baller because of how muscly and oversized it is (I can imagine this as Ford's Escalade if they make an XLT version) but the front looks a little conservative.

I knew that I had seen the wheels on this Flex on the Mountaineer though. Yeah, I remembered them too because I thought they looked like they belonged on a space ship.

I didn't really like them, though they were different. They remind me of these hideous wheels (on a hideous car, so at least they match ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I thought about that until I looked at all three pictures showing the same "illusion". Ok, I'll retract my earlier rant. But the wheels ARE moving which makes it hard to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
