Soon.

Mk1 Focus RS OZ Monoblocks




I had two sets of these, but sold my backups yesterday. Moving on to bigger and better things, the new wheels will be picked up tomorrow and hopefully refinished early next month.

[Nickgt40]

You guys like the new look?!






I could barely even get the wheels on, with no weight on the car the suspension almost didn't have enough droop to fit those pontoons.



I had plans for these wheels but have since found another set that makes a lot more sense so these have to go. Hopefully a real update by the month's end.

I didn't realize this was yours...hmmm. Love it. Those Work's are great!


You know what I think is kind of funny/ interesting...I was going through the S/W coverage of the Avila show and your car appears in none of the pictures that I saw...not worthy? (in my mind it's as worthy as anything else in the pictures...)

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.

As far as not getting much coverage, there were a LOT of cars there that were awesome that didn't get as much coverage as I think they should have. I'm not down about it though, I just need to get the car out there more!

Its always interesting seeing the the looks the car gets, being a Focus its kind of in limbo between the US and Euro crowds. As you know, very few domestics are done this way and the traditional Euro guys don't realize this car was designed, engineered, (and thanks to a lot of money spent on my part) has a good portion of parts from Europe on it as well.

Damn thats looking good!!! Not seen your car in a few years. Love the Meisters. Are those Randy's old ones?

I should prob swing the Jet one of these days...your making me miss Chromie hahaha

Yeah you should definitely come around more often, the number of cars done right is steadily growing, you might be surprised what you see compared to just a few years ago.

And yeah, these came off of the SEMA car. It was a bit of work to get them to fit how they do on a MK1, but overall I'm pretty happy with the result.

Thanks for the appreciation.

Nick....................DO IT DAMNIT!!! You know how i feel about your car <3

Thanks Chuck, I can't wait until you get back into a Focus.



We both know you will.

Very sick car, very well put together

Solid, clean looking car. Dig it!

great looking hatch!

those arches would deff look good if you could do something the same with yours, deff good looking as is tho

Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure the arches will happen. Now I've just gotta figure out what wheels I want to mold them around. I'm thinking 18x10 ET15.

So I've been toying with the idea recently of adding flares to the rear of the car. But not just generic stick on flares, if I do this they will be fully integrated metal flares that can withstand being low.

Here is kind of what I'm thinking:

Still in the hammering stage...







New MO position...
( will use 25mm H&R spacer to set it right until I sell them and buy other with new width and offset for the new arches )



The inner section cut to work on the panel...



...and closed:




Moments ago, ready to paint...

^^ That is all the same guy's car, nice stuff as you can see. Anyone have any insights/tips/pointers? For reference the Works on my car are 18x8, the DZs on his car are 18x10 so he gained quite a bit of clearance, and honestly that's what I'm going to try to replicate. I'm not flaring the front, just the rear.

Looks great! Love the stance and the work done on the car!

Man, pretty awesome!

That looks really good actually

Thanks all.
