a... focus?

[59FiFTY]

Hey guys, I've been a member here for a little while but I haven't posted in a while. I guess this is an update then. Went lower then I was before and I'm on different wheels now and I love how the car sits. I may have to add some spacers but I'm not in a hurry to get it done right now. I'm saving up for the All Ford Nationals in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. I'll be rolling with FR12 this year down to Carlisle.

Here's a few pics of my car before and now for those who haven't seen it yet(which is most likely all of you)

before:





Suspension: I was on KWV1's with blisstein rear springs/perches.
Wheels: 17x7.5 Elbrus I02's

now:









Suspension: Still have my v1's but instead of blisstein rears i ordered the V1 springs without perches from KW.
Wheels: 17x8 XXR 522 in Flat black

I'm looking to powercoat these wheels so if anyone knows a guy in the Chicago area let me know!

oh and




thanks!

no, you're not doing it right... skinny wheels, need something wider... oh and lower...

keep it up!

Haha I'm just gonna add a spacer in the rear. You know 4x108 doesnt have a whole lot of options except old mustang reps! I may or may not go lower since I still have the rubber isolater in the rear and the helper spring up front I probably could go lower if I wanted to.

With adapters or a redrill...your wheel options are endless.

Those are wide, they're cheap, they look nice, they won't be sunk. Heck you can even paint them black if you're insistent on that oh so original look.

[probestance]

wait am i the only one noticing that this is a ford focus coupe o.O i've never seen this

[NorCalFocus]

Spacers needed, but you knew my .02 already.

[hi its me alec]

fake wheels = impossible to be 'doing it right'

looks halfway decent, but it definitely doesn't look expensive or nice

Have you seen the dude on here with the silver coupe and black wheels? I think he's using the wheels that someone linked to. That made me look twice at the focus. The coupe can look good done right. I can't believe I'm saying that.
