Well, It's been raining, but I managed to get the new wheels on this AM without getting too wet. First impression. In the wet, pretty awsome. I was taking 35MPH ramps at 60+ without drama. High quality hardware and a good mount and balance job. No vibrations from 0-90 MPH  I'll get some pix up soon. Have to take the photos and have em processed, then I'll scan 'em. (You know the drill.) Thanks again. I'll post some dry driving impressions when I have the chance. TB

These tires are great!
I took 'em out (with the car) this morning and tore up some back roads.
Wow, is the best way to describe it.
Should have pics of my dirty car that now needs lowering showing the wheels and tires.
Gotta go play!

tboner> hey what's the offset on those rims? I'm guessing they are a perfect fit for the SVT right? No rubbing, no sticking out?
Did you weigh them compared to the stock rims?

Did you weigh them compared to the stock rims? The wheels weigh 7kg (15.4#) and using the scale at the office, the wheel tire combo was 35-36#. I'm figuring the factory wheel tire combo was about 40-41# Dunno the offset, perhaps Luke could comment. No rubbing with 215-45R17's. HTH TB
