Man, I love the intertubes! - CaptainHenreh - 08-21-2006
Scored a set of Kosei K1's 17X7 for the Focus for $100 bucks. I almost felt guilty paying for them...almost. Sorry, Had to share.

damn. F you! my only consolation is that 17" tires are so much more expensive than 15"

I bought 215/45R17 Falken Azenis st115 for 70$ a piece.

Before people :?: you, Feersty. Rex got 4 wheels for less than the cost of one of them, brand new.
So unless they're garbage, it got an amazing deal. But since it's for Julie and not him, I expect that all four wheels are in good shape. :wink:

They're in pretty good shape. One has a little bit of curb rash, but the tires are at about 50%, I'd say. So we're gonna run with those until they're dead. I'm just worried about the 4X4 Focus...now that we've got wheels/tires for it...we're going to need springs/shocks to make it sit nice. It's a slippery slope.
I did tell Julie that curbs and potholes are now her worst enemy. Trying to find a matching wheel that's been discontinued in a pretty rare bolt pattern to begin with is not going to be happy fun.

i think feersty was talkin about my comment addressing the prices between 15" and 17" tires. its rare, but i'll side with feersty on the anti :?:

Yeah, that is why I mentioned it. But getting a set of Kosei's with tires is unbelievable for 100$.

Yeah, I figured I would have to buy tires. The main impetus for getting these was a leaky driver's front tire on the focus, but it's a slow leak, so we just keep it filled.
I got a good look a the tires this morning, Yoko AVS 100's or something to that effect. Hard to get a grasp of tire condition in the dark, and two of them are "ok" but two are feathered pretty bad on the inside. If they weren't directional I wouldn't worry about it, but as it is I think I'm gonna try to score some tires.
