Sorry I haven't been around lately, I've been so wrapped up with school, work, projects, my fam., my business, my friends and other things that I haven't even been on many sites at all in the past few months. I picked up some wheels the other day from a friend of mine that sold his focus. He was desperate for cash so I gave him $140 and directed him to someone that would pass his car for inspection. What a steal. $140 for wheels and tires. I'd like to get some new tires though, I want 205/45/17s. A day or two later I spend over 5 hours wetsanding the headlights and the driver one still looks crappy.

Enjoy!

I would love to have those wheels on my ride, lights look good to how come you didn't hightower them? jerks ride looks pretty good with the light HT in the stock red color
 
To be honest, I've seen the red HTs, and personally it's not my thing. I might do them black eventually but for right now they're staying as is. I want to touch up the front bump., paint my grille and chrome strip on trunk T-Red, get headers if I can find some good ones and some other things first.
 
Don't bother with the 205/45's, go with either 215/45, 225/45 or 235/40... This way you get a wider tire and then it won't throw the speedo way off...

But, for $140 you definitely got a steal! Plus, they look slick on the T-red! Nice pickup!
 
205s are gimp that what I had on my SVT when I purchased it, cheap khumos, had a suprsing ammount of wheel spin with those guys. Now with 4 decent 215 Yoko AVS that problem is gone, for the time being....

Edit OP is running 205/40/17s you can see it in the pic.
 
Lower? Not in this state my friend... this is the pothole capital of the world. I scrape on :censored::censored::censored::censored: as it is. I heard from a few people that 215 and 225 rub on max steering angle. I don't lock to lock the car or anything but I don't want any rubbing either. I don't know about the bronze HT... I'll have to photoshop it, I have a feeling it would be a little much
 
Rims look amazing! and for that price who wouldnt rock em! Wow Im in the market for Rims and Tires at the moment! I think Im gonna grab something very similar to Trek's Mondeo! I also like the Rims on Outlaws Black CSVT! Im down to those 5 spoke or 10/8 spokers like Treks! Need to find out what I am going to do and do it already! My suspension is almost complete!

no rubbing w/ 215 or 225. i'd personally open your wallet a little further and go for some 225/40r17's or 225/45's
205's are the weaksauce,i wouldn't run those on a atx zetec:laugh:
