49's got a new set of wheels

[CSVT#49]

As an option anyway. We'll see what I think when I get some rubber on them. I may just use them of special occasions :shrug: I don't know... as I love my current wheels too! However that said these puppies are hard to come by!

As a comparison my current wheels...

Yea thanks to TRicker and Redlineracer12 The amazing thing is... I think the color will match my Baer brakes :drool:

I know I love them too... which is why I'm not selling them. We'll see when I get some rubber on these how they look on the car... but I have a feeling I'm going to be swapping them off every other week :crazy:

Probably won't be. I don't think I'll be buying tires until the end of the month... who knows though. Things can change.

Yea but I just got them put on and balanced. Those are my new BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW tires that I've had for like 2 months? Only road time they got is to SZ. I've had my car parked since then with all the powder coating I've been doing.

Congrats, I like the wheel and I think on T-red they will look nice. Im getting kinda bored of grey, but I dont know what else would look good. I have seen the picture of the T-Green with gold and im unsure if I would like them. Ill be waiting for the picture of them on.

did you test fit them before you mounted tires? my 5 spoke svt focus wheels hit the baer calipers and didnt fit

If this is true sell me the rims or the brakes.:laugh:

Through my research the EAP's fit with the Baer kit. ICY can confirm this.

Was it a spoke issue or rim issue? spacers wouldnt have helped?

Yeah I think they'll look better on t-red than black or silver anyways :laugh:

You are the 4th owner of those wheels

This was the first http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/Pappy838/side-1.jpg

the face of the caliper hit the back face of the spokes, so a spacer would have worked

yup i have talked with someone running that setup and had no issues with anything.

Well I'm sure Mike will find out when he test fits them :crazy:
