Im looking at these rims... What do you guys think about them.

They will be going on a CD silver ZX3 lowered with 35-40 FK kit.

ST200's?

Meh, never been a huge fan. But they're cool looking I guess.

I'm not a big fan of the ST200 wheels, I think the ST170 wheels look a lot nicer and are a similar design.

Check out forddesktops.com and look at some of the ST170 pictures, there's some of a silver one with the wheels.. looks hot.

Nice, but not my favorite. 04 SVT wheels would look better for less money.

I can't stand that many spokes that are that thick on a Focus. If they were thinner, they'd be better. The second set is a nicer set IMHO. I'm looking at 5 or 6-spoke wheels myself.

Hey NOS2go4me If they where
any thinner they'd be wire wheels. :blink:

You either don't like'm or you
think they are SWEET! (taste in style) ;)

Chromey "Motiegi R6" is a nice little 6 spoke. :D

The OZ rims are nice to but can be $$$! :)

Sorry, I meant that many spokes. The thickness of each spoke is fine... I just can't stand rims, that style anyways, being that busy. My bad.

I like the spoked wheels.

Maybe because they look like mine.

Mine are 18 spokes I think.
