TheDman, Paul Ripley can also supply these mate, seeing as he had the wheels re-dsigned and got the wheels in motion to be made.

Focus 4X4, that looks stunning, first class and top notch to your efforts

really want to see the car on the ground with those wheels, ive tried one on my FRS and they were an Escort offset so they sat a little wrong, so waiting in anticipation to see what they look like on yours now!

and why the hell didnt ford make the FRS in lack, its
