Focus RS/ST Ken Block Signature Wheels! (On My Bucket List for 8 Years..)

[@Fifteen52Wheels]

Welcome to the #52Crew 🏁 Excited to have you on board and can't wait to see what more you do with the build!

[@CameronAlford]

Long time coming.. happy to be here WOO!

[@B1gSc4ry]

Man's is living his best life and I'm glad a broke boi like me with an ST has been part of this channel for years. Cam is Block are the reasons I got my ST. Can't afford all the bells and whistles rn, but it brings me joy seeing and idol making it and I'm just as happy seeing this content. Please keep it coming.

[@CameronAlford]

I appreciate you dog. Means the world, fortunate to do what I do. Been a long journey but were just getting started. I enjoy sharing my vision and hopefully it inspires my brothers here to work hard and achieve theyre dreams cuz you can do anything you put your mind too!

[@greecoboost]

Really smart move getting those wheels ceramic coated before you threw them on the RS, Cam! Loving how this build is turning out so far!

[@landenrowland7005]

Really wish I did this w my gold turbomacs

[@JoshXCVIII]

No brainier for any new wheels tbf

[@onyx2343]

My brother in RS Heaven, I have got some recommendations for you! Gel inlays for the RS indentation on the wing - I went with black and its surprisingly tasteful and really sets it off. ForScan - Turn on the "Hidden" Customizable Drive mode Turbosmart 50/50 + Boost Reference Adapter - perfect combo of "Adult" but still get those nice blow off sounds when you want them. The adapter bypasses the electric BPV control giving you more reliable boost without any leaking from the BCM interfering. Exhaust Valve Delete - Keep that exhaust valve always open regardless of drive mode CPE Stage 2 Rear Motor Mount - hands down the best RMM for the platform with minimal NVH increase while giving you plenty of engine feel in your pedals. I'm sure I have other stuff as I have done a fair amount of work to my own RS. Would love to hear more about your thoughts on your BC coilovers, Im rocking the stocks with springs and would love to hear more about the change in terms of ride quality, performance, pros/cons, that kind of thing. Last unsolicited tip - Get you a punch and a nylon hammer, and remove the pins on your front calipers - just went through replacing both my fronts cause the one had a pin that rusted to the caliper and the other had a stripped bleeder screw from factory, not super expensive to replace but still quite a headache to go through so I'd recommend every now and then popping those out, cleaning them with a brillo pad and putting them back to try and combat that for the future. I also second the ZL1 addons rock guards, so much nicer looking that full mudflaps and does the job well, I have 245/40r18s that are 8.5" inches wide and have no complaints with the ZL1 rock guards. Last thing for the track mode issue with the new coilovers - If you immediately turn off the sport suspension mode (by pressing the button at the end of the left stalk on the wheel), the error never comes up.

[@CameronAlford]

Jeremy i have taken notes from your ted talk. You rock! Thank you for this.

[@onyx2343]

@@CameronAlford Haha glad I could help even marginally, RS is a great car, hope to hear an update on your coilovers after a little use.

[@Matty_Ice9]

Thanks for the info- I was looking into getting a BOV - Just got my RS in December, currently in the shop getting repaired for getting rear-ended at a red light. Is the 50/50 just the BOV setting?

[@onyx2343]

@@Matty_Ice9 it’s basically the way it’s designed. It’s 50/50 recirc/blow off. Under light load it’s gonna act as a recirc valve like the stock one. Under more boost it will vent to atmosphere. Which is why it’s the more “adult” option as opposed to blowing off every other second. Just don’t forget the boost reference adapter. Will change the entire way the boost acts and prevents any of it bleeding off cause the factory electronic recirc valve is a POS

[@Matty_Ice9]

@@onyx2343 Thanks for the info! In regards to a BOV, is a tune required on this platform for that mod? In terms of the Boost reference adapter, just the 45 dollar one from Turbo Smart on CJ Pony Parts?

[@landenrowland7005]

Got mine a few months before he passed :/ in gold love these wheels and will forever keep them in good condition

[@bubbajones7486]

Michelin PS4S tires are amazing on the RS.

[@nitemareglitch]

I have been watching your vids, and they helped me pull the trigger on my own Focus RS. Thank you for making easy to watch and informative content.

[@sgtmorhew]

RS owner here, Ive got Project 6 GR wheels in 19x9, love your wheels. That being said mud flaps were one of my first mods. Complete the rally look!

[@jacobochs5051]

i say toss on mudflats and take the “focus” off the back and i think that will really clean it up! beautiful build!!

[@thephoenixghost]

I personally like the Black roof on the RS, what be better with it would be to get the Wing black and the letters filled in Blue like on the Special editions for the 2018s

[@electricdoor]

Love seeing people get their dream parts! They're not exactly to my taste but you made them look great. I'm planning on keeping the forged wheels and I'm sad I can't just throw the cquartz I'll be using on the rest of the car on em since they're satin. My biggest visual pain point on any NB RS is the red brakes and reflectors. To me, now that you have white wheels they stand out even more, but I don't think anything else will match either. Looking forward to see where you go with the aesthetics!

[@bubbajones7486]

Just an FYI for the RS. The factory alignment on the steers "toes out" a little bit, which gives the RS that incredible steering feeling. The bad part of this is that your tires start to wear into a slight cone shape. All RSs do this from the factory. Also, if you hit the throttle balls deep when you get on a highway and you're getting into the fast lane, you feel the RS wants to steer its own way. Keep both hands on that steering wheel, or you might go off the road. It's scary as hell. I got an alignment when I got new tires, and what a difference it made. No more wander steering under heavy load and no cone shaped tires. It's good to see a new guy posting good content on the mighty RS after all these years. Are you going to install a catch can?

[@Boostipher]

I don’t even like fords or focus’s but I can just watch your videos because it’s literally content you can watch fork start to finish keep on pushing bro you deserve 1mil subs

[@mediocrefloridaman]

Looks great. ZL1 addons are the best looking flaps and they work wonders for keeping the side of the car cleaner.

[@chadwestwood9843]

Bro the wheels are sick! I don't know you but congratulations, very happy for you.

[@RolandKoller90]

I threw 265’s on my stock snowflakes. I was maxed out on my bilstein coils as well. Only rubbed a tiny bit on the front on harsh bumps on those rare occasions you don’t pay attention and rattle your brain lol.

[@Fredrik_ST_wagon]

I use Nankang Ns2r on my ST and i love them. Those Turbomac's are so sweet

[@Aamir-2999]

Those look fire, keep up the good work! Now all you need is the ken block wrap lol!

[@CameronAlford]

Thanks!!

[@mikeinsi87able]

Definitely get mud flaps. They look great on the car and protect from rocks as well as car doesn't get dirty as much.

[@Leron_T]

Nice of the FedEx guy to take part in the theatrics. Hope you gave him a tip

[@bobbyking6239]

Yo those are minty fresh my boy, the Rotiform KB1 is the actual Ken Block sig wheels though 😉 love what you're doing here.

[@nallicjh08]

Had a 245 on my RS and changed it after a few months. Looked like a monster truck to me. Stock tire size is aesthetically what it should be.

[@nickolasdisik7218]

Love the videos man you inspire me to want to do things the proper way for the proper outcome and appreciate it! Keep at it

[@CameronAlford]

Heck yeah, thanks for viewing the videos!

[@zZz468]

Hey man! Awesome setup. I actually went with the same exact wheel and tire combo you have on my RS. Love it. I would definitely recommend adding the mud flaps. It just changes to whole look and looks fantastic

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

That fedex guy is dope for letting you film that! The car is looking incredible man!

[@CameronAlford]

Hes rad!! We became homies kinda after this haha and was able to pay him for his time and he let me get these shots for this video

[@damianhaley625]

I work for a tire wholesale company and I literally see and touch tires all day everyday and let me tell you BFG has some of the best quality tires for sure and also you need to put some mud flaps on it

[@TheEquivalentXchange]

Those rims are so nice. Instead of tire stickers, u should do a vinyl design/color on one of the spokes, to make them stand out more.

[@Madira15122]

Bro, that RS is stunning👌

[@chavischavis88]

Nice focus brother, i like your black rims better not a big fan of whites and thick spokes but its your style i can respect that 👍🏼 really enjoy your videos keep up the great work

[@tredogzs]

Needs bullet hole stickers! Needs some flame side banners! Needs some more TINT!

[@Bobby.tables26]

I have Turbomacs on my white '15 FoST and it's a sick look. If only they were lighter wheels.

[@JaredSVX]

I want some fifteen52s Podiums for my Golf...they look so good

[@ivtec4fun55]

I liked my Sport Comp 2's looked great and lasted a while.

[@bluespecz8438]

I absolutely love those wheels I put them on my ST and I’m most likely going to put mud flaps on it cuz when it’s rainy or sloshy out it will throw it up on the car

[@marlonjamesdelossantos9949]

add the big spoiler..perfect

[@swath8733]

ran toyo r1r on my miata. loved em

[@WNY_R]

Right on, dude. IMO perfect for this car.

[@YooItsGryzzy]

Put on The Catless Downpipe

[@jimmyv9208]

Just my opinion but, you should get some white decals for on the doors?

[@Brandon-C.]

Thank you for the abundance of content 🤙

[@christianluckett2904]

No way! I have the exact same wheel and tire setup on my 2018 ST.

[@BenLovrien]

God they look amazing, can't go wrong with white wheels 😍😍😍

[@CameronAlford]

Facts!!

[@TylerJohnson-k8x]

Love the videos, always awesome seeing a quality build. Would like to see you invest in a torque wrench so you aren’t just ugga duggaing your wheels 😬 or at least talk about it for others so they don’t over torque their wheels

[@romangreathouse]

Heck yes! love watching the process. Your ST videos have helped me tons since getting mine a year ago. Question, about to order the wrap, but i'm not sure how to go about the wing. I have wrapping experience, but just thinking about this gives me the chills. Any tips?

[@CameronAlford]

you can approach it in 2-3 pieces. Do the bottom side first, then wrap the top. You will have overlap from the top piece and will have to trim some off. - I recommend you watch how to use knifeless tap on a lot of videos and youll see how people do it and using it to layer things

[@mlwrance]

What'd you end up doing with the old wheels? Also mudflaps will make the car look wider. At least it does on my ST.

[@kylehenderson7563]

I think mud flaps would be a good touch for sure

[@twinbmx1]

Hell yeah I got the same wheels on mine love them

[@BlackHawkRVH]

Make the RS logo on the wing white!. Would tie in the wheels

[@cornkernel4029]

your video music seems louder than most on youtube. love them! just hurts my ears

[@RodalAuto]

Cam, please get the ZL1 Add ons mudflaps. Super minimal and not loud like rallyarmor or rokblokz. Take a look at them and consider

[@CameronAlford]

Just emailed them to see if we can do a rally armor vs ZL1. Thanks for the idea!!

[@RodalAuto]

@@CameronAlford Yessir!! I love what you’re doing with the car so far. Congrats on the new wheels they look stunning

[@joshuamallory-l1i]

Don't know if i overlooked - What ceramic coating was used? Didn't see it in transcript of listed anywhere.

[@christianpena6396]

Those are dream wheels!

[@icleforce]

Maybe white inlays for the RS logos?

[@CameronAlford]

thats what im thinking..

[@kbske0618]

Did you have to tune it for going 18 inch wheels and 245 40 tires

[@RSTouch]

Not a fan of those rims but to each his own, keep it up

[@CameronAlford]

Thanks for stopping by to check it out atleast!

[@Tanner_Teves]

I think this is one of the rare exceptions where I would keep the stock wheels. I think they look the best out of most things I’ve seen

[@RSTouch]

@@Tanner_Teves agreed, I love the stock wheels. I have Anovia kinetic Rims in bronze which look amazing but I only put them once in a blue moon.

[@treeeyn5721]

Same not really a fan of the wheels but I still support it.

[@nickolasdisik7218]

Wheels are fire too btw

[@MikeG14]

why did you bring the other tires/rims to the tire shop?

[@CameronAlford]

to get the TPMS sensors removed and installed into the new wheels

[@coopermoreton6993]

When and do u have any ideas for the next vid? Maybe take it to a dyno

[@OohMyst]

Coming in hot with the notification 🔥

[@CameronAlford]

lets gooo

Did you remove the tpms system?

Are you Brembos 4 or 6pot on the fronts? Just asking im going 6 pot with the 350mm rotor and i was curious if these clear without the spacers

unless your going to become a rally driver, I've got to say no on the mud flaps. The car is flawless as is.

The mud flaps on a focus make sense. They kick a crazy amount of rocks that the flaps catch
