Hi all

Finally got my new wheels on today after spending almost 400 quid on tyres

I refurbished them myself in ford Machine Silver and am very pleased with how they came out The pics aren't that good because my camera doesn't like bright sunlight for some reason but you get the idea! I'll take sume more pics when I find a bit of shade.

Before



After








I'm really chuffed with them, makes such a big difference to the look of the car. As the tyres are a lower profile its sits at the exact same ride height, although they are an inch bigger. Could do with lowering a bit now, thats next on the list

It looks better than before.

 

Dont listen to him, it looks really nice now!!!

 

New wheels do look better, I assume they are kei force 10's or something similar?

Only bad point is every "cruiser" down here has them on their car.

 

Oi!


Maybe he can do the headlight tinting mod next...

 

Yes they are kei force 10s, i've never seen another set so it must just be down your way mate

 

I've seen them on loads of cars, but it's not a bad thing, they're a nice looking wheel if you ask me

 

Looks good mate, nice to see one actually getting modified a bit, most ST170s don't seem to get touched, or if they do, it's just silly lights or those awful colour ST170 stickers on the bumpstrips!

 

Much better now m8.

 

Looks nice

 

ye seen them on loads of cars but that dont matter they look nice fella

 

That looks nice mate well done.

 

nice

 

slam it into the weeds and itll look sweet

 

Thanks for all the comments! That is next on the list, just need to find something that will give a decent drop. An st170 is lowered 25mm more than a standard focus, and most springs only go up to 35mm so its not really worth it unless you want to go coilovers, which for road use are a bit harsh!

Can get eibach sportlines that give a good drop all round but they are only available in america, so i'm not sure what to do!

Looks loads better

Cheers Brian

I am going to manufacture some bungs to press into the bolt holes that I don't use, should keep me occupied at work next week! Just need to find some acrylic rod the right diameter first though!

 

needs slamming now

 

Took some new pictures today, don't think my camera is working properly as they are not particularly sharp, some of them are really blurry too. Could be something i'm doing wrong, but it used to be a lot better!

Anyway, here's some pics
