Default Just picked up a ’17 35T RSport

I’ve been interacting on XE forums so here are pics of my 35T RSport in Odyssey Red. I had it paint corrected and then ceramic coated. Just got the Savini DiForza Black DDT 20”. I really happy with how it turned out.

Looking pretty special! Great to see another Odyssey Red!!

No ceramic coating on mine, good old-fashioned wax just for the fun of it.

Love that color. I too use wax (carnauba paste wax.) I prefer the look.

Oh yes, the roads are fine here. The tires are taller than they look and I was afraid they would be like rubber bands. They actually they ride very well even in dynamic mode. My other car is a Fiesta ST so anything is smoother.

Besides, they’re so prettyyyyyyy😆.

Default Better Pics - My Odyssey 35T RSport

I put a finish protectant (The Last Coat) on the wheels.

Those wheels look fantastic. What tyres do you have on them, and what's the ride like? Our XE has 19's and I'd like to go flow forged 20's in a similar look to yours (they look like the vorsteiners on my f type)

The tires are Pirelli P Zeros and they are 235/35 in front, 265/30 rear. The front wheels are 20x8.5 with a 42 offset. The rear wheels are 20x10 with a 45 offset. 5x108 bolt pattern. I’m pretty sure they are either pressure flow formed, or pressure cast. The offsets poke the wheels out more and I’m really happy with the concavity. Savini does give a pretty good offering as far as wheels are concerned. I have the Black DiForza Series, DM14 wheel in black, machined and then double coated with tinted black. I felt the black Venom wheels looked too small for the car and looked tucked in. They look fine when they’re machined. Go figure.

They ride a bit stiffer but still really smooth, even in Dynamic mode. The 19s were a bit too cushy for me. Then again, my other car is a Fiesta ST, 😆

Cheers, I agree with you on the venoms, our car had them and the wheels look too small. Our first XE had them in the diamond cut and they looked bigger. Maybe the michelins would give a better ride, I have to say I'm a convert.

@ Quail: Where are the pics of you FType with the Vorsteiners? I’d like to see.

Here you go. I love it, but a 450hp xe would be very, very tempting
