Focus Rims

chevaps · 10-02-2005, 05:35 PM

Has anyone here got 17inch Focus rims, Zetec or ST170, they are willing to sell or planning to sell??

I may have a set of the 17 inch optional Focus alloys up for sale at some stage - I assume thats what you mean by 17 inch Zetec - but I think a certain Fiesta owner may want them still, depending on when I change to 18s.

do the focus 17inch Factory rims fit the fiesta? I had assumed the stud pattern may have been different (not that I have ever checked)

mitch_lx · 11-02-2005, 03:34 PM

I think Marcus from Infocus had a set of Zetec rims he was trying to get rid of incase Tim's 17inchers fell through

How sure are you of this??
If i just emailed him would he know what im on about??

Timmeh · 11-02-2005, 06:18 PM

Yeah just email him and ask what he has got - he had them when I was looking at buying my 17 inchers. If you're a club member of eurofordcub, mention that too.

Tim

whippet_zetec · 13-02-2005, 07:31 PM

yep, email Marcus, I know he had them a couple of months back, just dont know if he has gotten rid of them yet.

Last I checked, about 6-7 months ago they were about $800 a wheel, not woth it. You could try shipping them from US, British American Transfer have them for USD224.00 per wheel. Prob. wont be cost effective but worth a try. Link below....

Wots the condition of the tyre treads??

fordel · 15-02-2005, 04:44 PM

2 are quite good and the 2 on the rear which used to be on the front are getting down a bit and going to need to be replaced soon ~ 5k left on them
fronts ~10-15k i would ghazzard a guess

Chris

chevaps · 16-02-2005, 12:40 AM

You tell me how much you're after and we'll c if its in my price range.
PM it to me if you must...

Tom

fordel · 16-02-2005, 01:01 AM

well its only an EOI.... seen as they are $800 each from ford obviously not that much, but something 1/2 - 2/3 would be nice

Chris

16-02-2005, 11:54 AM

st170 rims are not 800 a rim, at least not anymore. when i had my 16" zetec rims stolen i looked at the st170 which if i remember correctly were about 400 a rim, but i chose to go with the optional 17s which were only 170 a rim...go figure. (to replace the 16"s i lost would have cost only a little less than the st170 rims...again..go figure)

mate new 17inch rims are only $165.00 each why would you bother with second hand ones

b2tf · 17-02-2005, 07:38 PM

That is true - the 17x7's are listed as $179.00 each, so expect to pay about $190 or so per rim, thats brand new over the counter from Ford.

ST170 rims are usually sold as replacements only (thats what Ford wanted us to do when they first came out anyway), but now they're pretty much open to anyone who is willing to pay for them - i know we have at least 2 sets in stock and we can get them on overnight freight, with or without tyres.

And they are most certainly not $800 a rim.

Pieoter · 17-02-2005, 07:49 PM

How much would a set of st170 rims with rubber be (205/40 rubber)?

b2tf · 17-02-2005, 07:53 PM

Off the top of my head i dont know, but i will find out. Whereabouts are you? The dealers i work it as in Wagga Wagga, NSW, but i guess we could arrange freight - will have to see.

Any Ford dealer should be able to match any price i give you though, the rims are the same price regardless of where you get them from.

Pieoter · 21-02-2005, 09:54 PM

Im in parramatta. Thats in western sydney.

WASACL · 21-02-2005, 11:05 PM

Pieoter man... Just go down and get a deal @ Tempe Tyres for a set of 17's Chrome rims with lowered springs... set you back alot less then trying to get any sort of OEM ones of any kind!

Trust me man..alot cheaper and will look alot better

Russ

Pieoter · 22-02-2005, 05:42 PM

I don't like chrome rims. Im not looking at buying rims right now, I have some other things I want to get first (Sub + gear knob + gear boot)

Timmeh · 22-02-2005, 08:19 PM

You already have some rims on your Fiesta anyway, I like the Zetec rims!

Tim

Teki04 · 22-02-2005, 11:45 PM

not sure of the chrome theme happening with fiestas... just not their style of car... plus chromes are due to go out of fashion, just like spinners were set to be a hit... but i laugh at everyone i see
Russ, you should know.... your car looks great without chromes....

After spending all day trying to fix the scratches on my rims (Dont worry tim i took lots of pics! :P) I have decided that if i was to do my time over again i would get White painted racing ones!

I think the white would look good on a fiesta! Nice set of enkei ones!

Russ

whippet_zetec · 23-02-2005, 08:28 AM

Tempe doesnt just have chromes though....there are a few different styles...only problem is you get completely crap rubber on the rims you buy.
