New Wheels - updated with pics

[stuntdoogie]

I wouldnt get rings other than aluminum...because of heat issues especially if you race.

Just go buy some rings. It's easy. Here is a set on Amazon for $17

Everyone is making it sound like these wheels are going to be an evil demon or something.

With the stock tires, they are going to be stretched a bit but the good news is your potential of tire rubbing will be reduced compared to say a 215 or 225, which is the size you really want to take advantage of the 8" width.

With stock camber setting and stock tires, I doubt you will have any problem with tire to strut clearance, or rubbing. Once you go wider tires, you will most likely have to put more negative camber in the front, and that is when you will start getting really close to the strut.

Thank you for your help, it's greatly appreciated!

Really Nice setup.

I like the look of your wheel with your car.

Does the Vogtland coilovers Works Great?

Thanks guys!

The coilovers ride pretty smooth, they feel close to stock. At this point the only noticeable difference is over speed bumps, they are a little less fidgety compared to stock. It's too soon for me to really tell what's going on though. I'm taking the car to get an alignment tomorrow, after that I'll be able to push the car a little to get a better feel compared to stock.

The gold wheels looks so great with white, nice job man.

 

[Charest2394]

OK thanks for the reviews.

Give some update when you try correctly your new coil overs.

My principal question for the Vogtland is more comfortable for the daily drive but do you loss handling if you compare to your stock Fiesta ST.

Wish I could find grids in 17x7. Love the look.

 

[stuntdoogie]

Love my 16x7 grids but they are kinda beat up. One rim has a small bent and on two the paint is peeling, three of the wheels are 73mm bore and use rings while the one thats bent is 63.4mm bore . I love these wheels so much that im gonna powdercoat them once I find out the color code of the stock Rado greys so I can have them painted in that color.

 

[Kip2MyLou]

How the hell did that happen? And where did you get them from? I can't find them anywhere. Probably discontinued?

 

[stuntdoogie]

I drove 4 1/2 hrs to buy them used from Airjor.

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Damn, figures. I can't find them anywhere.

 

[stuntdoogie]

I check everyday. The only rotas available are the 15" RBs.

Resurrecting an old thread! I love the look of your car. I was wondering if you've encountered any problems with rubbing since you're lowered? I'm also lowered on Mountune springs so I'm just trying to get an idea.

Thanks man! Not sure about the Mountune springs, I'm on Vogtland Coilovers. I'm pretty low with almost no wheel gap. It rubs a tiny bit in the front when I'm cornering aggressively at high speeds. I could get rid of the rub completely if I were to raise it about 1/4" I just prefer the current look and don't race around very often.
