Do you have tpms sensors if so then you need new ones or else Your low tire pressure light will stay on

my rims are from Focal too, it seems like the company has been around since the 90's or so. It looks like they made mostly luxury rims, but now have some tuner rims

i have the F16's i love em matte black with a red pin stripe

Focal has been around for years. I used to have their old F5's. The company kinda went under then sold to another company that is kinda cheap.

i was iffy on the Matt black but after your pick DS, im in love.... how are they holding up any issues with dents and crap..

they are great, fit prefect, they have the same offset as stock +42, this are 18x8 but the offset is the same for the F05 with their size 18x7.5
i wanted to get the F05, but the F16 got my vote haha
im running 235/40/18 and they dont rub on turns and they look awesome :)

they dont list them when u pick the turbo balt, you could contact tire rack and ask them if they know about the fitment with the brembos
u probably have to run spacers if u get these rims to clear the brembos

The curved spokes are a good indication that these won't clear TC Brembo's.

what you guys think

Bumpin Balt 05-23-2010 02:16 PM

After seeing these on a car, they look really cheap IMO. I would have went with 225/40/18 tires. Some people have rubbing issues with 225/45/18's and they make the wheels look like 17's. If you love'em, that's all that matters though! :)

joeyblaze 05-23-2010 04:39 PM

they are a matt black clean five star, not sure how they can look cheap. i wasnt going for bling, i want subtle and clean, but thanks for your input. the rims def dont look like 17s, i had 17s stock and these things dwarf them.

the tires are beefy, but living in northeat its usefull, no rubbing so far with the pedders.. so im happy. thanks for your input tho
