Tease and poke - The Ford Focus Forum

**jasinger** · 11-06-2009, 09:11 PM

Well after months of waiting and not posting any new pix of my car my wheels finally came in! Unfortunately because of SEMA my spacers have not arrived and

ing NTB gouged/scratched a wheel mounting my tires and won't take any blame for it, which I will make sure it gets resolved. Anyways here's a few pix to hold over til I can do a real photoshoot next week!

the damage

**econorocketZX3** · 11-06-2009, 09:13 PM

Sexy!!!!

**jptech2004** · 11-06-2009, 09:20 PM

nice

**SVTRSST** · 11-06-2009, 10:16 PM

ow ***! i want that sticker for my car.. one time i had people in the back of my foci and it was rubbing like crazy, i cant imagine what could have happened with wide wheels

really nice

**SVT3658** · 11-06-2009, 11:47 PM

That sucks about the damage

I hate people that work at tire places that don't give a **** about the stuff they work on....same thing happened to me when I got my EAPs. They scratched the crap out of one and wouldn't own up to it, but luckily it was only an EAP and nothing nice like what you have. Good luck getting them to fix/replace your wheel!

The car's going to look badass with those wheels on it though

Steam rollers!

Those are some meats on there, not too much stretch, dig it.

I was thinking the same thing. More info on the iPhone case

This is going to be straight hot. Looking forward to full shots.

**frdfocszx3** · 11-07-2009, 03:54 PM

Those wheels look sweet!

**Nickgt40** · 11-07-2009, 03:55 PM

I may be wrong but are those DZ exclusives?

**DeadlyDean** · 11-07-2009, 05:54 PM

^yes those are its actually dz exklusiv dz1

**o2_designs** · 11-07-2009, 05:58 PM

Those look massive, btw, what are the specs?

**jasinger** · 11-07-2009, 07:10 PM

well they are actually miro stp1's but I believe it's the same exact wheel just a different manufacturer name now but don't hold me to that

they are 17x8.5 with 215/45 and 17x10 with 255/40 goodyear eagle gt's, I was hoping for some more stretch than what it is but I guess these run a little wider. spacers should be here monday!

as far as the iphone case goes I work at at&t and we just got them in the other day and they're made by speck, I literally bought it 5mins after it came in

**svtf02red** · 11-07-2009, 08:13 PM

Nice - I like those wheels & I'm glad to see you didn't stretch the piss out of the tires. Still a little wide for my taste, but I like them

**Davor** · 11-07-2009, 08:21 PM

Miros are half the price of DZs, replica of a replica but a good one nontheless. Depending how low you will go they will rub with no chicks in the car; mad width plus offset plus spacers!? If you are not going for euro look you will need mad flares or even full wide bodykit, or it will look like lowrider on Daytons. Do you need the spacers to clear the brakes? Hopefully you dont need anything bigger than 8mm. I still love those wheels !

**jasinger** · 11-07-2009, 08:48 PM

5mm and just up front to clear the coilovers

and the fenders will be rolled as soon as i get a chance.

**o2_designs** · 11-07-2009, 09:21 PM

Props on the sizes...its a skill if you can fit that under a Mk4 without alot of surgery....I can't wait to see if fineshed!!

Did you get any other iphone cases like that?(plaid)? LOL

**jasinger** · 11-07-2009, 09:34 PM

we only got that one so far but speck has a couple more similar ones...

**98LowRanger** · 11-07-2009, 09:34 PM

LOVE the ipone case and wheels, but awaiting pics of them on the car with the stance and no stretch.

**whitey5421** · 11-07-2009, 10:26 PM

Looking good, just so long as you don't get a ton of rub when you turn...

On a side note, great choice on rubber. The new Eagle GT is an amazing tire. I loved them so much, I now have a set on all my vehicles, they are very underpriced for the value you get

**Focusized1976** · 11-08-2009, 11:31 AM

Rims look fantastic! Sorry to hear about the shop messing up the one rim. Hope it gets handled the right way.
