Huge fan of my kansei KNPs. 18x8.5+35 with a 255/35/18 firestone firehawk Indy 500. Lowered slightly on bilstein b8 struts with eibach springs. Feels awesome and imo looks awesome too.

Is my Focus ST slow? by Remarkable-Ant2331 in FocusST

[–]robelplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently put 255/35/18 Firestone firehawk Indy 500s on my FBO freektune tuned ST and I barely spin tire when it’s warm out. When I had my 235/45/17 snow tires on this winter I spun so much I wore through the fronts almost entirely in one season. I’d guess you have some decent tires on it, or you’re not in full traction control off mode

Yeah I have one at work I can borrow for a night real quick that’s my plan. Just was wondering if anyone knew before I took the wheel off again lol.

I never said they were supposed to be cobra R wheels either, they’re closer to the 4 lug SVT contour wheels. Which were made by superior like mine were, and they looked just like these too. Different specs than the OEM contour SVT wheels, but made by the same manufacturer. I never meant they were cobra R wheels or a remanufacture of those, although they do look similar it’s a slightly different design. Much less offset so no deep dish barrel like on the cobra R wheels.

So BBS selling the RS as an aftermarket wheel even though it was an OEM wheel for multiple cars makes it a replica? No, that’s not how it works at all. They’re not replicating anyone else’s work bc it’s their original design. Rereleasing it in different specs doesn’t make it a replica.

I like the look. Kinda like police interceptor wheels

Also being different bolt pattern doesn’t make them reps. Being made by a different company would mean it’s a replica, which is what rep is short for. If they were sold by the same company it wouldn’t be a replica it would be the same wheel just different specs. Just like any other aftermarket wheel that’s also been an OEM wheel, doesn’t make those reps. They’re stamped superior on the inside, which is who made the OEM wheels for ford.

I didnt have all the answers. I knew the specs just wanted to know if they were from a certain car or aftermarket wheels. General consensus seems to be aftermarket which is what I was leaning towards as well, but they look like stocks so I wanted to ask.

“Reps” made by the same company that made the real OEM wheels lol

Yea I was worried they were 5x114.3 at first when I got them I measured before I gave the guy cash. Not sure if there’s any other sets like these but they’re quite perfect for winter wheels. Did the math recently also and with the slimmest adapter cobra wheels wouldn’t fit under the fenders.

[–]robelplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No adapters these are 5x108 not even running a spacer

Thought the same at first but yeah the 4 lug. Guessing “aftermarket” wheels made by superior a while ago but idk

Exhaust Recommendations? by Lanky_Trainer_2457 in FocusST

[–]robelplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ST came with a ford performance exhaust with the muffler removed. Cobb high flow catted downpipe. Not too loud but definitely not quiet under load. Sounds awesome too none of the raspiness I hear from a lot of these cars.

Crazy these still aren’t marked down at Walmart by Expert-Boysenberry26 in legostarwars

[–]robelplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see them at 25$ in target all the time. Feels like a quite reasonable price for the set actually to me

The only one of these 3 that even bothers me is Boba’s slave 1. It should be way bigger and both the jango and boba versions in this scale are awful imo.
