Minnesota Focus Owners Club

Here they are, I still have to swap out tires as the ones on the black wheels are 215-40s so they're a little short.

Old,


New
















The new Mondeo knob,



Updated with proper tires and better fender gap,





Huge thanks to o2designs for the hook up on the wheels and to Pappy for letting us swap them out in his driveway!!

nice looking rims! thats a change, did you swap rims with kyle then? body match painted caliper will set it apart even more I would think since its black now..

Nice Rims but they need a little help tying them in with the car. Looking at the before picture the wheels compliment the car coloration, with the after it really makes the body and the wheels stand apart from one another which isn't a bad thing if that is what you are after. As Y2K said body color calipers (or even the "standard" Red) would help breakup the overwhelming dark coloration of the wheels in the wells and help to tie the rims into the body scheme. Some 35% tint on those windows would go along way towards making it all flow a bit better as well. One other small thing if you are inclined would be to either change out or niteshade the side markers to bring a little more black into the mix on the body.

They look Really good Steve! Now about your old Wheels?

You already know that I think it looks sexy as hell

I have his old wheels....


And I said yesterday when we mounted them...the brakes should be freshen'd up, but Steve already picked up some caliper paint, so we'll wait...

But this is truly one car that pics don't do it justice. It looks sooooo nice in person....

Sweet, also after thinking a bit dark objects suck to photograph it's tough to get enough detail to do justice.

You are a rotten person Chalon, You know that right?

If I could afford 16" Rotas and new tires I'd do it in a heartbeat.

J/K here as well.

I can vouch for them.. I got to see them on the car in person last night and they look NICE on steve's car. I thought it was some new kid that Steve was going to have to throw down on.. and it ended up being him
