BC Forged, ADV.1, Velgen Forged, SuperForged….all wheels of the highest quality that can be had for $4-6K for a set of 22” wheels made to your specs.

A good set of wheels for these is definitely not $8-10K. Not even close.

I gotta just let this one go…. lol

There’s nothing about that that will be built by Ford as a 2023 model. Can you please stop posting it in this thread as well? It has nothing to do with what someone did to their ST today. Forum etiquette exists for a reason.

Lighter is always better. The less unsprung weight you have the better the feel and handling will be. Unfortunately that means forged or flow-forged. Cast wheels will always be much heavier. Compare tire weights as well. As an example Nitto tires like the 420 tend to run as much as 5-6lbs...

The Lexani sidewall looks rounded because it’s a narrow tire stretched onto a wide wheel…not because the sidewall “bubbles”. The Michelin looks square because the measured tread width is wider so the tire isn’t stretched. That’s what drives the overall width when you factor in sidewall bulge...

No, they aren’t. They aren’t even close. The MPSS is the widest of the 305/35’s. Pirellis are a close second. Lexani and Lionhart aren’t even close. I’ve owned them all except the MPSS…on the same wheels…on this car.

Some, not all. Put a Michelin Pilot Super Sport on it and report back. As I stated earlier…that Arturo “305” likely measures out to a 285/295 at most.

All of the “Chinese” brands run super narrow. Arturo, Lionheart and Lexani for sure. Pirelli and Michelin run closer to true width if not even a little wider. Any tire with some sidewall bulge on a +38 11” wheel will likely be problematic when it come to the front struts. I’m sure you’ve seen...

That’s the same car in both pics and that’s a very very narrow running 305. I won’t clog up this build thread anymore but I’ll say be very careful and specific with an 11” wheel and 305 tire. Backspacing and tire width will make or break it.

It’s 100% dependent on the backspacing of the wheel and anything flush will be scary close to the strut up front. What others are running that combo? I haven’t seen anyone at all.

It’s the spacer, not the protrusion. Most shops won’t deal with spacers for legal reasons their lawyers invented.

I did it just to add some looks under the hood…I highly doubt I’ll be doing any comparisons with all the audio weight it carry’s around now. There’s others showing some nice improvements though for sure. Adams data comparisons to the stock intake are actually impressive and it outflows the...

Been in the garage for a few weeks…stretched her legs this morning for some datalogs for the aFe intake I installed a while back.

Cooler is always better…even if it’s just a few degrees. I run the 170 and 2 bottles of Water Wetter.

Helmholtz resonators are the cure for drone. If you cancel the drone frequency…it can’t drone.

I might gripe…but price tags don’t keep me from getting what I want. If they did I’d have a $200 stereo system instead of a $20K one. lol

Why would I do that? One bad luck nail so the tire couldn’t be repaired doesn’t mean you switch tires. The tire did it’s job and I was able to drive to the tire shop on it with no issues…kind of the reason to have run flats.

Just get vinyl inlays in whatever color you want. The Focus ST inlays on eBay are the same size.

Got a nail in a $652 Pirelli run flat right on the corner of the sidewall…so I replaced that which was another $42 to mount and balance. Fun times!
