Thumbs up from me. I've been thinking about doing that for a while now...

Is the offset really that bad? Do they really stick out all that much?

RICE!!! Trying to be like the SVT Focus. LOL! J/K.

After seeing those on your car, I'm convinced the SVT Tour should have come with 17". That looks Great.

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for the compliments! laugh I got the rims for $500 for the set from my local Ford dealer. I think they list for $150 each. Some specs on the rims:
Part # M-1007-S177
Weight 22.5 lbs
Offset 49mm

The only complaint the I have is that I wish the offset was less so they would stick out a little more. You can see it in this picture:

If anyone else has any questions, let me know.

Dude, you got a great price. I went to my local Ford *******s and they're charging $295 each now... at least at that dealer.

They look just right. I think you'll find them easier to clean...I notice they don't have the little ridge along the inside that the OEM SVT wheels have. I find getting the brake sludge out of the little corners where the spokes meet the rim a real pain.

Hey SVTunit....

Are your sail panels pre-98, or painted over? If painted, what did you use? I'd like to do mine.

Thanks!
