I too pondered getting em, but then I figure they're only a inch bigger than my stock 5 spokes...
They may only be 1" larger but they look 2" than stock. They look much more aggressive and modern than stock also. I've always thought the wheels looked too small on the SVT's, the only weak point of the overall looks of the car IMHO. Worth the $$? Yes, to me very much so.

I want to see a side profile. Any pics? To me they look somewhat similar to the stock wheels but lighter in color. That's why. Thanks.

I know you are just kidding, but I do want to say that I like the lowered look, I just don't think it's conducive to real world driving. The stock SVT's sit quite low as far as putting your lower facia in danger while entering most driveways. The Focus wheels actually gave my car 1" more ground clearance which is fine with me, I don't want to have to worry about too many things while I'm driving, it sort of takes the enjoyment out of it. Besides, the car rides and handles great as is.

I know this, but side profiles of those wheels on a t-red car is just beautiful and figured I could say hey that pic isn't doing any justice so post a side profile.
