I bought them from a guy locally for $100 with tires, but they usually go for around twice that, if not more. Are you sure they're +25? Everything I've read says they're +6.

Sure as the offset +25 stamp on the inside of the rim....check it out. As far as where to get em'. Craigslist is where I found mine. I've sold mine on here and have seen many other sets for sale in the for sale threads. Also check junkyards. Unless someone doesn't know what there selling, they are spendy. I sold mine for $375 w/ tires.

I'm like 99% positive the Vic wheels are +6. Unless you're talking about the stupid wheels that came in the generation after mine with no lip.
And yeah, I got a stupid good deal on them. Cool thing was, the guy knew what he had, he just hooked me up hardcore.
Yeah yeah, rattlecan sucks whatever. As much as I'd like to shoot it with a gun, my air compressor isn't big enough and it's gonna get fucked up anyway.
The wheels are silverish stock, I painted them gold

These are my old wheels I sold to SOdrifter. Idk what car they came off of. Crown vic or gran marc. But they had +25 stamped, along with a made in Italy and some other Ford crap. I guess they must have two different offsets...

Thanks man!
Got tires mounted on two of the wheels I just got, I'm going to run them in the front for Mineral Wells and get the other two on after the event.
The rear sits WAY lower than the front with the Crown Vic wheels, but I think with the 17"s it'll even out the height. Specs are 17x9, +17 offset, and when I get tires on the other pair they'll be +13 effectively with spacers. Just running some cheapish 215/45/17's for now.
Also threw one in the back for a test fit. hehehehehehehe

Exhaust is on! Sounds great and is super quiet haha.
However I'm having problems with the front coilovers. The lower mount holes are slotted for more camber, and whenever I'm drifting, they get loose and slide back and forth and **** up my camber. I've tightened the **** out of them and they still do the same thing. Any ideas what to do?

I think I'm going to get lock washers, lock nuts, and locktite the **** out of them. And use a better impact and torque the **** out of them.
They're PBM's, love the quality and how they ride. This is the only problem I've had so far, and it's not really the coils fault.
