Ford Motorsports sells them for $500 a set plus tax, damn thats a great price  I hope they bought ALOT of sets of them because for that price I see alot of Tour/Mystique/Foci owners getting them, especially for that price

I called Diversified yesterday and he told me the FSVT rims would be in on Wednesday, lets hope :rolleyes: Now the only problem I have is deciding between the new KDW2 which only comes in P215/40/17 or the original KDW 215/45/17. You see currently I have the stock suspension and the 215/40 would show even MORE wheelwell, but I am lowering the car, I promise :p

For another$8 a tire, I'd look seriously at the Potenza S-03s. While I liked the ride and performance of the KDW, the noise bugged the hell out of me! The S-03 is a much quieter tire and out performed the KDW in every catagory according to Tirerack.  For me there was no option to buy the KDWs again, and the price has gone down on these since I bought them! I paid $156 each. I know there are a few others here using them.

I know your going to think this is stupid but I like the KDW for a couple reasons, one is the treadwear # is higher and heres the clincher for me....smooth sidewall, none of those little ugly ribs on the sidewall that all new tires seem to have. Personally this matters to me and as far as road noise goes, I didn't notice my OEM KDW being loud, plus like I could hear it over my exhaust :p j/k about the exhaust, its not that loud, trust me

As Roger said, I got my rims yesterday. I took about an hour to put two coats of Zaino on them and have the tires mounted. I really like the way they look!    I wish the rims stuck out a little more, but I still think they're cool. For more pictures check out my site New Rims Page Thanks, Andreas

Now that it is know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they fit, I'll be getting a set even though I just bought a set of E0's. :rolleyes: Haven't mounted them yet so I'll just store them for now. By the way, BAT still has them for $135 each but the Ford Motorsports price is still better. Karl
