Default My LR Sedan. New Wheels.

G'day everyone,

Thought I would throw up a few pics of my LR Focus. Especially since everyone here has been very helpfull since I have joined up.

Recently I purchased some XR4 rims off a www.fordfiestaxr4.com member, then got some tyres put on this morning. Makes a huge difference to the look compared to hubcaps. :

Needs to go to whiteline now for lowering, but here she is.





Needless to say, Im over the moon!

I thought the same thing Eddie!! Something about a white ford needs blue stripes.

The wheels look really good Greg. Well done.

Gotta get rid of that orange indicators though. It is THE comulsory mod.

Thanks guys.

Yeah I have thought about stripes. But Im undecided as they didnt come on the LR as an option.

Maybe a photoshop could change my mind.

And yeah definately need to get the clear side indicators done, just havent got around to it.

I put Falken's. Ziex ZE329. 215/45/17

They arent falken's best performance tyre, one step under. They are a silica compound though. Non-directional. Made in Japan.

They retail for around $220 a tyre, but I got them a cheaper. I've had them on another car before and for the price they grip and wear really well.
