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!  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. Andreas

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!
