It's so crazy how things work out..I just had my car in getting new tires and the guy shows me how all 4 of my gray euros are bent so I'm just thinking here goes more cash out the window. I've always wanted the Black Racing Euros to match with my Cobra hood, so to my surprise after getting onto to Ebay last night to do my normal SVT Focus search. I found a set of powder coated ones up for $450 plus $100 for shipping, he also had the make an offer option up so I asked would he do $400 and he said yes so now I'm now a proud owner of the kinda rare Black Euros becuase they never come down in price. I'll have pics up once I get back from my short vaca to MI

Nice find! I kind of want black wheels for the CD Silver I'm picking up later this month

 

[Yocrew]

I saw those on there. Welcome to the club. I have set too.

 

[Stuff03]

i looked at them, they had some funny looking imperfections, i'm sandblasting mine and taking them to my local Powder Coater... the company i work for does alot of business with them so i'm getting all four done in gloss black for $100! yesssssss!

Gratz on the wheels.

Where abouts in MI is your vaca? and why would you wanna vaca here lol?

 

[Timmeh!]

^^ x2

 

[ehancock]

Those aren't that rare but they will definitely look nice on your car!

Definitely post pictures when you get them on!

 

[jmac2806]

Haha I figured some people on here had to of seen em, yes like the one pic shows a few of the shakes have some spidering but I'm not to worried bout that. Its better than 4 bent rims right now and i really wanted to go powder coat since its very hard to beat up the paint. o and I just call it a vaca cause how much ive been working lately. I lived in Warren my whole life, just moved here in January, where are you at? I know the wheels arent rare..you just dont see to many with them on.

 

[jmac2806]

my bad guess i should check locations lol so i see your in Novi.

 

[jetrinka]

How in the hell do you bend the Euro rims with their 15 spokes? lol

 

[jmac2806]

Lmao good question, these actually were my old buddies rims from in MI and I believe when I looked at them they were in good condition, even 1 was brand new but no clue as to how all 4 are bent. Now the 5 spoke SVT rims are very easy to destroy haha

 

[ehancock]

inside lip maybe? i dunno!

 

[jetrinka]

yeah was the damage on the inside of the wheel? Maybe a pic or two. I want to see this. lol

 

[jmac2806]

your gonna have to wait when i receive the new wheels..the one is badly bent on the inside and the guy showed me on the alignment rack lifted in the air how badly the back ones wobbled, i was just thinking [?|]

 

[jetrinka]

lol you scared me here to be honest. Today going around an on-ramp quick I hit a joint in the road going around 55mph and squealing the tires a bit. Loudest thump I have ever heard. Drove fine though. Got to a parking lot and the suspension was all fine as well as the outside of the wheels. Ok I thought. THen you come on here with this story of bending them on the inside and I FREAK out. Go outside in the dark with a flashlight and luckily no bends anywhere on the inside either. Phew. Thanks a lot.... lol

 

[focisvt03]

I saw them it's like the whole inside lip is bent up in one place like some one wacked it with a big hammer right there.

 

[jmac2806]

yeah seriously danny i have no clue how those got like that, the one rim was brand new when i bought them off the guy. do you know where a place is to scrap the old ones around the north port area?

Congrats! Considering of either having mine coated black with an orange rim or just outright getting a set of black. Enjoy.

 

[Yocrew]

Don't scrap them. You can have them fixed. And a suggestion

A suggestion, just buy the Ford Racing black EAP's and do a vinyl strip around it. After me buying a used set of EAP's and having them PC'd Im at $225.00 per wheel. Cheaper to buy the real thing.
Here is mine:

I now have black lugs.

Not to thread jack, but thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to look in to that.
