Like yours wheels, the new center caps with the black running pony background really set them off, I have stock 05 17" that came with the ford logo, replaced with the new center cap, chrome looks great...

when you balance dynamically inside the rim it often takes a lot more weight then on the rim lip. Thats not unusual. My motorcycle tires have nearly that much weight to balance them.

I have them on my Tungsten Grey as well and my only wish is that someone was already making this style in a deep dish.

They look good, but judging from how much weight they have taped in side them I would almost consider purchasing a new tire that might be a bit "truer".

They do require more weight like Kevin said. Only one of mine has alot on it, the other 3 arent that bad.
Too bad ford didnt use the spoke location feature. This balances the tire out with the weights hidden behind the spokes. Sometimes you end up with a few more weights, but looks alot better.
I was thinking of redoing my fanblades that way.
Did my snow tires on the bullitts tho, came out nice.
