I have a few major things to take care of in preparation for FocusFest 2013! Thankfully, it's still a long way out, so I should have enough time to get my car ready! Sadly, I will not be re-painting my car - I am going to just paint the bumper. I need to put some money aside to make it to the event! So for now, my car will be a "10 foot" car [hihi]

Nice. Wheels look awesome. And the roof rack does too. I always have like roof racks on the focus, but I don't know anything about em enough to find one for my sedan, haha.

Yep it's damaged[:(] My old OEM passenger fender was a lot worse than this one. I got this one at a junkyard cause it was already the color of my car, I didn't notice the bend in it, cause the junker Focus didn't have headlights. That is one of the few fitment issues I am going to take care of. I figure if I tap on it with a rubber mallet, I should get it straight again.

I want a shot at whichever set of wheels you don't end up putting on your car! Sadly might be a while [V]. How bout this the st200s would look sexy on your car so you keep those and I'll buy the Type 10's! [hihi]

I put snow tires on them today! I look at it like this: I gotta have traction in the snow & it's not like I am going to "beat" them up anymore than the rest of the car in the snow. Plus they are OEM and OEM wheels usually hold up better to harsh conditions. The ATS type 10's will be my summer wheels!



Then, I started to take pics...


But, I thought my car was too dirty to showcase the new wheels, even though I just washed it yesterday.













































































































































Sooooo, I washed it lol

Huh? Never seen ST200's? lol Thanks!

Those look amazing!! Perfect for your car!
Thanks! Yes they are:)

Dude I love it!!!!
Thanks! Me too!

I want those wheels when you get tired of them
I'll will them to ya[thumb]

Looking good![thumb] maybe Ill make my way out to FF13
Thanks! I hope to see ya at FF!

Look great on your car. Bueno, [thumb]
Thanks! Mucho bueno[headbang]

oan I got some Lamin-x today to protect the ST170's


Before anyone starts to discuss why I am using ST200's as winter wheels, read above^ and here is what I posted on Facebook about it as well:

"They wont be anymore ruined by salt than the rest of my car. No point in saying your winter wheels are beater because that would make the rest of your car a beater, cause you still gotta drive it!"

"Only reason I am doing winters and summers is because OEM wheels can stand up to harsher environments"

"My car is too Euro to not use Euro wheels year round"
