What Rims???

Jess85 · 25-09-2006, 03:01 PM

Hi there..i've got a Silver Fiesta Zetec with full options (body kit etc) and am wanting to either make the car louder (only a little) or get some different rims. Can anyone suggest some styles? My bf and dad both work at Ford and my bf said there are only a few types to choose from or something?? Im looking at getting 17"s.
thanks

Hello there,

You will need a stud pattern of 4/108 PCD to suit/fit. You can get the Ford Focus 17inch Mp3 rims with out tyres from Ford for 800 bucks, the ROH Stradas have also been popular with a few guys grabing the in 17's for under 100 per rim.

Concidering you are in NSW, you could try Tempe Tyres for some likeable designs but you may have to get em custom drilled to suit.

Are you in Sydney??

^^^ custom drilled? for what?...... oh the stud pattern you mean?

Hi,
My best suggestion is to go to a tyre shop near you, ask them what they can get, there's a few available from companies like YHI (www.yhi.com.au look at the Advanti range), XHP (www.xhpwheels.com.au, pretty sure the X-1 is the only one thats available) , also have a look at bsa wheels too (www.bsawheels.com.au, should be a few choices)
I put a set on a silver LX a while ago, only 16" but should be available in 17 inch

Advanti Medusa

^^ My wheels ^^ are no longer available, I got them as they were running them out, so thankfully I hav'nt seen them on another Fiesta
Good luck

Tough cookies there mitchie boy. U have to be lethal in life to get what you want. I read in an old post i think even before i was on the forums, that you wanted them and told tim not to sell em to anyone else. hahah

Mine.

EDIT: Hi Luke!

mitch_lx · 27-09-2006, 01:30 PM

I didntbuy the mp3 because i thought they were too big.

Im very VERY happy with the zetec focus rims... but theres just something about the mp3''s...

you have the 16" size. these are 17" and fill the guards more. give it a more sturdy feel.

yer i got the bodykit and rear spoiler. WP zetec manual.

Jess85 · 30-09-2006, 02:50 PM

Mine look same size as urs photn..im pretty sure i've already got the 17"s. I mite have already mentioned that my bf and dad are salesman at a Ford yard. My car was my bf's demo and the dealership added all the extras and put the 17"s on it. Car only had 5000 k's on it when i got it

okay then, normally the fez only get 16" wheels. but if the dealership had brains and fitted the focus rims, whats kool.

your best bet is to go down to your local tyre shop bob jane or whatever and as for a wheel with the required stub and offset.

Jess85 · 04-10-2006, 10:37 AM

bob janes said the only ones that had were called Spyders and they're crap! You see them on the older Focus'. I like Danny's rims, they're sik! I looked through some car sites and found a few rims with 4 studs but just gotta check with the tyre joint whether the stud patterns are right

I have exactly the same rims as Danny...and I got them from Bob Jane!....so I dont know what your Bob Jane outlet is on about Jess, the rims are ROH Strada's, mine like Danny's are 17" ones, I got mine earlier in the year for $97.00 each which I thought was an absolute bargain, whatever you decide on dont forget about the spare wheel, you will either need to buy an extra rim or keep 4 of your standard wheel nuts for the spare.

Jess85 · 04-10-2006, 04:17 PM

yeh my bob janes is a little lazy i think and not much to choose from..
