Talking Budnik forged wheels and Baer brakes Installed

Tried to post pics but the page could not be displayed. Maybe it has something to do with being a new member. Well I tried again to no avail. They can be seen here:
http://www.modularfords.com/forums/2...led-80523.html

Installed my Budnik forged 20" wheels. Custom ordered about 8 weeks ago and they finally arrived. I'm running 255/35 on front with 20x8.5 and 275/35 on rear with 20x10. The offset is perfect and tires sit flush. The ride quality is still good. Also installed the Baer Eradispeed +2 rotor kit. The brakes look fantastic. Have not driven it much since the install yesterday, so I can't comment on stopping ability improvement.

Make sure the pics are small enough, I beleive jpegs have to be under 500kb. I dont think theres restrictions for new members.

If you don't have photoshop software, you can make the pic smaller by e-mailling it to yourself, then posting it to photobucket.com...Outlook Express will ask if you want the pic size reduced and click yes.

Beautiful. They remind me alot of the factory upgrade wheels, but so much better.

They are working well. I only have 1800 miles on the car but the few times I have needed them it stopped great.
