Defently, I had problems with my upper struts. They were popping when I pull in to park, took her to Ford and had them replaced for free.

The dealer does rip you off, and my guess would be that if your aftermarket wheels are causing the problem, it wouldn't be under warranty.....if the rotors are calipers are defective, then I don't think it would matter, but since the problem didn't start until you put your new wheels on, my guess is that if there is a problem, it is being caused by the new wheels...

in laymans terms, bend over...

I got the 18" because the ride was really rough plus the rims made the car look like a SUV. I like the 18" rims much better. Here is the before and after pics.

Well mine were included per dealer add-on. (It's a shame because I really wanted to know the the stock 16's felt like)
Any way, Stern ST-7 Hypermesh Chrome : $1500
Nitto 555's :$1000

Personally, I would -never- pay that much for a tire/rim combo out of pocket.. but since it was in the financing..
