Why did you go with 15"s? Usually ppl go bigger than stock, not smaller. Is there a new trend we should all know about?

I donno, those rims just don't suit your car much.... I think it's the crome on the yellow that makes it look so off to me.
plus your fender repeaters are off centre.

I've always liked BBS rims. Using 15" rims is different, Wouldn't mind knowing why you picked that size. Although I personally wouldn't have bought the black and chrome, maybe black and brushed Aluminum. But, I 'm thinking that you picked the black because of all the black on the Focus. Again though, if you like it, and it doesn't make you feel like your driving a Kenworth, good job.

thanks for the comments boys. Its totaly a case of each to their own with these wheels. i have loved these wheels since i can remeber and when mitch got some centers i had to jump on them.
chromey if you can post up some pics or a link to foci with these wheels that would be great. i havent found any pics and have been searching hard.
not to sure what the weight is. they are lighter than stockers tho. even with rubber.
why go with 15's? it all about the look. 15's with stretch can be tucked up nicer. i like the look of small wheels. this way i get to run a bigger profile tire and not have to worry bout bending lips. also for the coulour i chose to have them done black because the gold colour that they used to be wasnt to nice. also the chrome with black is a nice contrast.
the fenders are oem euro fenders right out of the UK so the repeaters are not off center. must just be the way the photo makes them look.

Looks great! Reminds me of my old '88 LX 5.0 wheels.
Are those rear tires legal? Is the tread allowed to stick out of the body in B.C.? Cops can be pricks at times :ph34r: .
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.

no clue what the 1/4 times are. never taken it to the trak.
spedo is not affected to much. i only changed from a 60 series to 45 series so there might be a bit but nothing worse then changing to 17 or 18's
as long as the tires dont stick out more than 2 in on each side then im fine. the flares with fix this tho
