New Wheels - updated with pics

[Sirsinclair]

Here's a few pictures taken at modbargains. I must say, I'm extremely impressed with the guys over there. It's an awesome company that really seems to pride itself on great customer service. I want to give a big thanks to Nick and the CEO Mike! Both of them were very helpful with the process. Mike is a super cool guy; if I had any questions or concerns he'd personally get back to me almost immediately. I can't say enough good things about the company, definitely the place to go for your Fiesta needs!















My wheels just arrived; I'm pretty excited to get them on the car! I'm not a big fan of black wheels so I was planning to take them to be powder coated on Monday, but I'm debating if it's worth the $400 cost. If I do have them powder coated I'm leaning towards Gold.

I also ordered a set of Vogtland Coilovers from Nick @ modbargains.com(Very cool guy and extremely helpful!)

Wheel Style - Rota Grid

Very nice. It's going to be a tight fit up front with that offset and width but will look awesome.

What's the weight?

 

[Sirsinclair]

My scale at home says 19.6lbs.

 

[BoostBumps]

nice...and congrats!

Look forward to seeing pics of those installed...

You can pick any color from prismatic powder. I had my calipers on my mustang for $30.00 each. B&B does lots of wheels.
Bit of a ride, but worth it.

Nice Wheels.

Do you go with the stock tire on this new wheel or you buy another size?

Put Picture when your wheel are mounted with tire!

Thanks! I want to save some money and I have less than 4k miles on the stock tires so I'm going to use those for now. When I replace them I'll most likely go with a 215/40

I just dropped off the wheels this morning to be powder coated gold. As soon as I get them back I'll have my coilovers installed/wheels mounted and be sure to post a picture.

 

[Charest2394]

OK thanks,

I'm interested to see if the stock tire on a 8" width is to stretch or if they look's good!

Where did you order the grids from modbargains? I have 16" silver grids right now and the paint is dogged up. I want to powder coat them but if i can buy them new in black or bronze i will...

 

[rooSTer]

Do you know if they come in other colors?

No, I got them from http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pr...=7449&osCsid=5ed4541274bd23ea37016c08c975b3a9

 

[CanadianST]

it might just be me but i'm thinking 17x8 in that offset + coilovers = lots of rub. Let us know how they fit once they're all done!

The wheels I ordered only come in a flat black, my least favorite wheel color

I really hope that isn't the case.

Thanks man..rep for good find. Can't wait to see pictures.

Hope they sent you 63mm center rings cause those wheels are 73mm bore.

Dangit... I am so uneducated when it comes to wheels/wheel fitment.

No, they didn't send me center rings. What are my options?

 

[stuntdoogie]

Call them and ask them if they have them or check ebay or email/call Rota.

 

[razorlab]

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.
