Got some new wheels...pics enclosed.

[Muffin`]

Don't think they're too bad! Unfortunatly there isn't much choice for Ford cars. I've got the 18" style of your originals on my mondeo and it's very tiring on crap un even roads.

 

[Vigoro]

I prefer the look of the originals, the dark colour on the news ones doesn't seem to go well with the body colour

 

[DreXeL]

Look great IMO, it gives the car a more 'edgy' motorsport look.

 

[SoliD]

Think if they were in a diamond cut like the originals were they would look better! But if they improve the drive then that's the main thing.

 

[Frozennova]

Looks great, would have prefered a light colour personally, not a fan on black, chrome or charcoal wheels.

 

[wingnuttzz]

I like them, look great. And with the better ride = win win

 

[Sin_Chase]

They look cheap, maybe the colour which is doing it - look like steelies.

should have got them in white.

 

[Cookeh]

Prefered the standard ones to be honest.

+1

They need to be white on an ST

 

[Sukh]

What level of tint is that on the back windows?

 

[Disco Boy]

I'm all for what you've done in theory, but they look minging! I doubt they'd look that brilliant even if the colour (which is the worst part) was changed either.

Would it not have been possible to get some 16" wheels like they fit on the ST in other countries?

 

[Ant84]

I reckon they look better than the originals.

 

[loltim]

Out of sheer curiosity, what's the difference in weight between them?

If they were Speedline for example, probably a good kg or 2 less per wheel, but Braid Winrace, who are they? they're probably heavier

The tints are dark but the car came that way from the factory...Ford privacy glass, notoriously dark! I'd prefer them to be a bit lighter if I'm honest, possibly a bit too dark and a bit gangster looking..but that is how it came.

As for white wheels, looks great on a rally stage but a total pain to keep clean and they tend to yellow over time. I have some ds2500 pads going on soon which are pretty dusty. Gets too much of the wrong type of attention too, these stand out far less.

I take very mild offence at someone saying these wheels look cheap as they weren't...this particular wheel is used on various btcc cars and many rally cars on the continent, braid are a quality wheel maker comparable with the likes of speedline, compomotive, oz etc. Not your ripspeed tat!

Go to www.braid.es/wheels and have a good look at who and what braid make wheels for. I'll start by saying they were the exclusive wheel provider for the Peugeot sport France team when they were running the 207RC rally cars...

 

[loltim]

oops

 

[Morba]

do you actually intend to make anything of the car, or did you buy them to look good?

 

[Booner!]

I prefer the originals only because I don't like the use of mud guards Sorry.

 

[arknor]

Prefered the standard ones to be honest.

yea i did aswell

 

[Ahleckz]

Much prefer the new ones! How much difference (and why) do they make to the handling?

 

[cravin penut]

Standard ones look the business
