Came home yesterday to see these waiting for me...
Hyper Black 16x7 Rota Grids

 

[MOFiST]

Cool. Is that a standard issue Rota bolt pattern? What's the weight and offset?

 

[stuntdoogie]

They were custom ordered. 14lbs 42mm offset

[MOFiST]

[MKVIIST]

Well I didnt custom order them for myself. The seller made the custom order around Nov/Dec because some older focus owners requested them. They would have gotten here earlier but the LA port was on strike so they were delayed.

 

[stuntdoogie]

Im just trying to decide on tires now.

Great choice on the 16s! So much more comfy haha

I had the same wheels last year that I bought from a board member in silver, loved the ride and looks but Ended up selling them. missed them so much had to get them again.

You have an idea on what size tire you're going to run?

I really was trying to avoid 205/50 and go with 205/45 but tires in that size are too thin 23.2". I dont wanna bend my wheels. So its either 195/50 or 205/50. My only option with 195/50 summer tires is the Dunlop DZ102 unfortunately.

Damn that sucks. When you mean too thin do you mean the width or the sidewall? I'm assuming you mean the width, just wanted to make sure. I wanted to go 16 inch but the tire options has me second guessing. Might just 17s with 205/45.

205/45 Sidewall is short.

The rotas seem to be a very popular wheel for the fist. Those are wheels I might lean towards since not to many wheel options with our Bolt pattern.

What about the direzza star specs in 225 45? I have those on my car now an they don't rub, it looks like you have springs on your car so I'm not sure for you, but it's worth checking out.

I have coilovers. Plus those tire are too expensive for me. I need street tires under $100.

Stunt, if you don't mind my asking, how much was a set of these?
