Dark Horse HP Tires

[Junkyard Dog]

What he said.

Since my last update in like March of this year I have gotten a set of DHP1 rims with 305/30 and 315/30 PS4S tires. I got caught in a terrible downpour a couple of weeks ago when going to a body shop. I mean the highway was flooded out.

I didn't even sweat it; I slowed down because I couldn't see but the car handled like a champ!!!

Did you get the same wheel widths and backspacing as the stock Ford handling package wheels?

I was wondering if aftermarket manufacturers are making those, which would make swapping wheels easier when going back to the Trofeos for the track.

That is the exact wheel/tire combo I ordered.

I have the HP but I am also lowered on Steeda Sport Progressives. Here is a pic the day I swapped out the wheels. It may have settled a bit more since.

The HP is already lowered, about .5 inches compared to the base DH. Thats really low. My DH scrapes from the underbelly air strakes

Yes it is and that chin splitter doesn't make it any easier. I have speed bumps in my "Traffic Calmed" neighborhood. If I brake too hard right before, and then drive over the bumps, I will scrape the front. If I drive over at neutral speed, or accelerate a little right before, I am fine.

This is one of the reasons why I am looking at getting another set of 20" VF10s with a 275/35R20 and a 315/35R20 or alternatively a 285/30R20 and 315/30R20. This would make driving around the city much less stressful when pulling into parking lots.

There is a plaza in the city next to mine where I go get all my asian foods from. It feels like I'm planning the D Day Invasion of Normandy when looking for a route into the plaza.

Sounds like I have quite a bit to look forward to then!
I just ordered the Steeda MagneRide Sport Progressive springs on Tues or Wed, due to arrive Monday.

You are gonna love it... You are also going to grind your teeth... but it's all fun and games and it looks sharp as hell!

Well I already grind my teeth since I have 1.5 miles of gravel roads just to get to and from home!
But yes, I agree, it will improve the looks; and the more of a pain in the butt I can make it to drive means I put fewer miles on it!

Thank you. Did the center caps work?

Can you tell any differences from the OE wheels?

Mine appear a little differently, but mine are not clean right now now.

im using the SVE center caps not the ford ones. Everything LMR sent me rocked out of the box.

Thanks - hard to tell from your photo, but in your opinion do they look and perform just like the OE wheels?

For my use case? Yes; however they are lighter too. LMR has a video where they compare the DHP1 and the stock HP wheels; weight and construction etc.

I will look for that video
