Dark Horse- What did you Mod today?

[MCS]

@MCS How is the quality and finish of the Wheels?

What you would expect of a premium product. It's a gloss finish though, not a matte or a satin finish.

Is the OE matte, satin, or gloss?

You have both sets, right? OE and replacement?

If your DH has a handling package though, and you are lowered more than half an inch, you are going to have to be careful with that front end. But if you are a non-HP car and not lowered you won't notice any difference over stock.

Is this backwards?

I thought these wheels and tires were the exact OE sizes as the handling package, and therefore there should be no change when swapping them out. What am I not getting?

 

[Junkyard Dog]

They come with Black Spline drive lugs would you use them or get chrome?

Black!

These are the exact same as OEM for DH HP yes.

I lowered my car 0.8” with Steeda springs so my DH HP front splitter will rub if I’m not careful. If you aren’t lowered then you have no problems that you don’t already deal with.

I do not want mine any lower. It is already troublesome on areas I normally drive. Any lower and I could not avoid scraping the spoiler in some places where I regularly have to be.

Was yours a handling package originally?

Are these wheels the same as your originals in appearance, gloss, satin or matte, and shape?

I am not sure my wheels are "gloss," which is the main reason why I am asking this question about appearance.

As for fit, it looks like there is a minor 2.5mm difference in offset for the rear wheel (just looking on the internet).

If I keep a set of Trofeo RS tires and a set of PS4S tires, one on stock wheels and one on these aftermarket wheels, is it going to look the same no matter which wheels I use?

Not much of a ‘mod’. I appreciate the DARK in the dark horse but felt like maybe the car needs a little shiny. I didn’t want to replace the exhaust, I think it’s fine and no need to spend that $ on mufflers. I wiped the black paint off the tips kind of accidentally while cleaning with some brake soVent. Noticed it would be easy to polish the inner ring so I did. I think I like it and if I decide I don’t I can just spray it with the VHT flat black. Anyway, maybe somebody else would want to know. The OE paint literally wipes right off.
Maybe some silver-ish wheels next to brighten things up.

That’s pretty cool!
Fords black paint chips so easily, it’s a joke!
I may try that

Looks good! Nothing like accidentental mods!

 

[Junkyard Dog]

What kind of tires are those?

N555G2 NITTOs. My car is HP and the trofeos throw gravel like crazy - doesn’t work well where I live they would have chipped the paint to hell so I bought brand new tires for a brand new car with 369 miles on it. Now it’s normal. I know it’s a ‘race car’ and all but seriously, FORD? I don’t have data but I figure most of these are street cars first and track cars maybe.

I went through the same thing with the Mach HP. I loved the look better (Wheels)over the base so that was the main reason I chose the HP. As for the DH, both versions look the same so it was an easier decision to go non-HP.

Yes, the tires would have to go for daily driving.

LOL
I have a gravel driveway . . . I drive very, very slowly when I get home.

I was very impressed with them at the track, though.

NO doubt. If you need four more I got them.
