I've got the same wheels with black instead of gold. 195/50/15 with very noisy Sunny SN 3800's.

Nice work man. Somehow I'm glad I ended up with 16s. Lucky find. The 15" Rikens look a bit different. Don't know if it's the black or what but they look totally different. Somehow I think the Rikens look way better in person too. Will try to shoot some better pics soon. Glad to see someone else running these wheels! :)

Send it home! Looking forward to them - will definitely get pics up once my interior is in a better state. Doing seats towards the end of summer as well as a few other goodies.

I got a set of rikens too..

15x7 though. +15 offset. Scooped them up from a member on here a little while back.

On a 195/55/15, rubbed horrible in the rear til I rolled the fender. Worried about going lower in the front since it doesnt camber (im used to hondas having natural camber when you lower the car)..

But this is a old pic, but you get the idea. And to me it seems like the front pokes out a little more than the rear. Is this common with Focus's? Im new into the Ford game

Seems to be the case on mine too. Lucky find on that offset. Nice! Anybody got an extra center cap? I think they look good with caps on :)

Looking forward to see where the rest of the car goes. I think the wheels are great.

I also wanted to thank you for this comment as it made my night, even with my car rocking some EAP style wheels.

Check that out. Not sure what these were from originally but they're definitely not 16x7. It's funny, I started with 16s, did 18s, did 17s, did 15s, and now I'm back full circle! Wait til you see my winter wheels. Will be rolling some 15" audi speedlines with spacers. Might paint em pastel pink :) with a lip.

Yes, that IS a 7" wide wheel. Wheel width is measured from inner lip to inner lip.

They'll poke a few mm less than my cobra reps do, at 17x8.5 +26. Agreed, good luck. My fronts only fit because I'm running 195/40's on an 8.5in wheel, and the fenders are pulled about 3/4 of an inch up front. My rears fit due to camber arms and bolts both being maxed out, fender rolled and pulled well over an inch. It's a LOT of work if you want to dump the car. If you DONT do that to make it fit, and go lower...it'll probably just rub like a bitch.
