Picked up the new 2021 Carbonized ST this morning at Ted Green Ford in Stockbridge, VT and had these FC04 wheels and Hakka SUV3’s mounted with mud flaps by noon at Precision Motorworks, Bethel, VT! A great experience, and what a great ride!! I could not believe how heavy the stockers were when they were racked in the garage...

Sorry, like those stock wheels better. They also come with Michelin tires, which in my opinion are the best brand of tires.

This post confuses me? Regardless of whether or not Michelin makes good tires, the ones that come with the factory wheels are terrible in the snow. The Hakka 3's will run circles around the stockers. And usually the whole point of winter wheels is that they're cheaper and therefore a person doesn't care as much when they get beat on by grime, gravel, ice and salt.
