Snagged a set of 18x8 OZ racing classe wheels on Craigslist for stupid cheap that actually fit my stupid focus.

18x8 et35, 5x108. They have tires but I'll just toss them. Will give a more aggressive stance though so should be good. They are in pretty good shape, but considering the price I got them at I think I will spring for a refinish. A good sand blasting and powder coating will hopefully be found for reasonable prices

Edit: obligatory bing picture (not Google )

I've never really noticed the date on tires before. Are the tires on sale usually old stock?

no 18x11 !

jackp0t - pm me

while its true those tires are almost 6 years old, winter compound should be no problem still since they heat up quite fast - if anything it is still better than all-seasons or summers

Got a dummy tire 275/35 for test fitment purposes


You might see your wheels on some 1M's @kchan there's alot of them asking me about it.

NO MORE MODS! as of now im taking a hiatus .lol

That being said im putting my focus on maintenance
Took advantage on the black friday sale

Im putting together a Walnut blasting kit for the n54 motor shitty carbon buildup flaw.
Because of the shitty dollar i will save 3/4 of the cost to buy it outright

Try and fit 1 rep body part on your car and you will never have a problem justifying the cost ever again.

I initially went in for a custom tune but was told my sh*t was too basic to warrant the cost of the chip and dyno tune, so I just threw her on the dyno for a baseline.

She made some farty noises and then went BWAAAHHH up to redline.


Apparently that's WHP shown on the graph which made me more than happy for a 2000 lb car.

They even threw this in for fun.


Thanks to the guys at Evolution Auto, good honest guys that won't up sell you unnecessary stuff.
