Looks nice, quite similar to my old one. I blackeyed my xenons too, this was about 6 or 7 years ago now, think I was the first on the focus club brave enough to rip a set apart lol.

I didn't have RS wheels but I did have 18s on it. I put eibach springs on it and it made it very firm. It would crash through potholes and made it horrible to drive. To be honest lowering it with big wheels was probably the worst thing I did to it.

Looked nice though!

I've pinched your pics for my son as he goes on the Focus ST170 Facebook page, he said your car looks mint mate

Put my old Hockenheims on his 170 today and they look quite well for an old wheel on a newer car.

Then with the rs wheels back on, just need to sort the centre caps out, got some gel overlays the other day, that was a task as i hadn't realized dmb weren't allowed to sell them anymore for 'ford', also got new brakes to fit saturday and give her a very good clean ready for ford fair, pic isn't much good sorry

i also prefer wheel silver when i normally always prefer black. but i think it may just be the pic quality and the centre caps missing. take new pics in same place as first all cleaned up and i think it will look million times better.
