      New wheels...thanks again to Jon @ Driverzinc!

      No,not for my musclecars,these are for my DD Focus proving once again,Jon Henson is THE MAN when it comes to wheels/tires for anything you drive!
      He beat Tire Rack's pricing on these just-released Enkei wheels and we all know his service & commitment is unmatched in the industry.

      These wheels in a hyper-black finish will look killer against my Cloud White paint and deeply tinted windows...what do you guys think?

      They look real good, similar to the old SVT wheels on the early Focus. What size did you go with.. and the most important question, when do we get mounted on the car pics? I think a Focus wagon will be on the list of vehicles to shop for for my wife, sometime in the future. Always thought that Ford should have made an SVT wagon.

      I think you're right on the Foci wagon,whenever we get a pre-owned one in for sale,it doesn't last long!

      Pics will be posted next week when I receive them,I went with a 17x7 wheel (49mm offset) and 215/45 Nitto Neogen's again,based on Jon's recommendations.

      Those are pure sex ...

      They're the same ones I was lusting over at the last GoodGuys show.

      Sounds like you need to move to Cali Scott and experience it for yourself...unbutton that tie and put your feet in the warm sand.

      Thanks for the praise John, you crack me up...

      Just happy to help, this one was an easy one for us, and Nitto already dropped off the tires this morning. I'll mount and balance them personally tomorrow morning when Enkei drops off the wheels.

      Thanks again for all your assistance Jon in making this a painfree purchase once again....you make it too easy man!

      A lot of guys probably just think of you when they want stuff for their classic rides,my point in posting this is to remind them you handle it all and that you do so much more than just wheels & tires.

      Why would I want to deal with someone I don't know at Tire Rack when I can just pick up the phone and work with my good buddy Jon...?
      Same products,better pricing,and excellent customer service...plus,I'm helping support another community vendor.

      Sounds like a win/win to me.Can't wait to receive them,I think this is set #3.

      John,
      Do I have a surprise for you! I'm shipping your wheels today! ONE DAY EARLY! I have to mount and balance them, and I have two other sets to do before UPS picks up today, but I'll have tracking numbers for you by the end of the day.

      In case anyone didn't know, I personally mount and balance and package every box myself too. I like to be the one to handle every piece if I can.

      New wheels

      Hey musclecarjohn since you like to buy a lot of wheels I will take a set of HREs or forgelines in 18 x 8 and 18 x 11 with Toyo 888s. By Christmas would be fine. I'm in Sac so I would drive down and pick them up. The drive to Monterey is nice. The wheels look nice
