Remove my wheels, bolt on set from Craigslist. Same hub diameter, same bolt spacing, same offset...no muss, no fuss, no rubbing. I love interchangeable parts! (and manufacturers who keep things the same across platforms) Bring on the ice and snow.

Any color you want as long as it's black?

I believe (and I could be wrong) that it was Cadillac that pioneered the idea of interchangeable parts.

I always liked that style wheel. I considered buying a set to put on my SVT Contour when I bought one used in 2004.

Sam Colt had a bit to do with it.

You are correct, Henry Ford is the one who always gets the credit. I seem to remember that from a triva game. Regardless, if not for Henry there would be no Fiesta ST for me to hoon around in!
