**twilightblue** · 06-23-2008, 03:36 PM

check these new wheels out...old wheels rather

they rub a little, i'd rather have 16x7.5 but the 17x7.5 will do. let me know what you think!

**Dev** · 06-23-2008, 03:46 PM

Lookin good!

What offset? 45?

Those look great! They're a good example of recent-vintage euro deep dish style. I like 'em!

Fender roll ftw.

Those were the very first set of rims I got for my focus back in 2000. They look sharp! I miss mine!!

**twilightblue** · 06-23-2008, 04:04 PM

do places do that? fender rolling?
yeah...i think they are 45mm offset

**SE SPORTNY** · 06-23-2008, 04:08 PM

Do it old skool, take a baseball bat and do it yourself...just be careful.

**focusownerskid** · 06-23-2008, 05:28 PM

Type T's!?

Holy old school!

Neat, an aftermarket sunroof... got any inside pics of that?

**SVTgirliegirl** · 06-23-2008, 05:48 PM

Looks good.

**slverfocus13** · 06-23-2008, 06:11 PM

looking good...i want those for my car

**Dimitri** · 06-23-2008, 06:27 PM

Nice find!

**Random Select** · 06-23-2008, 06:56 PM

Nice!!!!!!!

**o2_designs** · 06-23-2008, 07:03 PM

Very nice!!

I love Borbets. The 'T''s are about the best you can get for the Focus 4x108.

**twilightblue** · 06-23-2008, 08:33 PM

I'll post some pictures of the sunroof. Believe it or not its a webasto! The guy I bought the car from thought it was stock because it is the stock brand. I'm tall and the high ceiling is ideal. Its about an inch or more higher than stock ones inside so headroom is still great!

**2006TZX4** · 06-23-2008, 08:50 PM

very nice looking car great looking wheels

**imprtslyr0223** · 06-24-2008, 12:34 AM

i think those are one of the nicest set of wheels for the focus. for some reason i think they're more like 40mm offest though.

**Nickgt40** · 06-24-2008, 12:38 AM

Those look great, gotta love some euro flair

**svtf02red** · 06-24-2008, 03:10 AM

Nice SVT - those wheels are a perfect fit.

yeah...i'm not too sure! could be! I got them from someone with an audi 90

**twilightblue** · 06-24-2008, 10:21 AM

here are the sunroof pics... and one more night shot...maybe two

and some nice people i told i would post their picture!

i don't know them^^^

**Z63R** · 06-24-2008, 11:39 AM

^ Rofl.

So... what tire size... I noticed that there's just the slightest hint of "stretch"; it's really subtle. Looks great.

And to whomever thinks the wheels might be a 40 mm offset; they're 7.5 inches wide. They're most likely a 45 mm.

**OmniFocus** · 06-24-2008, 12:15 PM

They do appear to be in the neighborhood of 45mm... 40mm would make the rub just that much worse.

Looks great.

**JEEPers** · 06-24-2008, 02:23 PM

Looks nice. How much did you get it for? Did the owner know who installed the sunroof? Or was it a dealer installed aftermarket sunroof thing?

**twilightblue** · 06-24-2008, 03:09 PM

they are 215 45 avids...i only payed $5500 for the car. It had a built jrsc'd motor that was bad so i replaced that...but otherwise it's super clean

i think it was a dealer installed option, the guy i bought it from swore it wasn't, but i told him and he was like..."this isn't some fake svt" so i think that i offended him, though i didn't care! haha...oh well! it works great!

**JEEPers** · 06-24-2008, 05:24 PM

What was the mileage on the car? but then again ... since you replaced the engine .. it didn't really matter.
