Not being quite up on the various wheel designs, what are they?

They look fantastic on the Ruby Red, but I am biased.
Thank You. They are BC Forged HCA162 Brushed Bronze centre with polished aluminium lips and exposed Stainless fastenings.
Size is 20 inch diameter, 10 inch wide front with a 275/35/20 tyre and 11 inch wide rear with 295/35/20 tyre. The offset is decided by BC Forged to get as flush as possible. For my stock set up, offset was 34 and 49mm respectively. TPMS included. They just arrived on a truck and all I had to do was mount them and drive away. Tyre pressure was displayed no problem. The Brushed Bronze looks magic in the sun and I cannot get the camera to replicate the true copper/gold reflection. I went 2 piece to separate the bronze from the ruby red with some shiny stuff. But it costs to do that.

Yes I would not want a new car that has been molested by the dealership grease monkeys.

Tell them to shove a VooDoo engine in there... probably would be no complaints about a replaced engine!
(Oh... check the oil regularly if they do)

Have you had a chance to try the I-drive? How do you like it? Would you recommend it?

That's a bugger, what a PITA. Did they say what the problem is?

Great work. I installed a CTEK quick connect to my Mustang a while ago, all tucking neatly away when not in use.

I attach the CTEK about once a month for an overnight charge, has kept the the original fit late 2016 battery in great condition.

Please let us know.
Particularly, once you set it on normal mode, then switch to sport+, how it affects the response or do you have to re-adjust the I-drive to suit.
Thanks mate
