Anyone know where I can get one (or more) 16" Fiesta Zetec rims? I think they are called MP3, but I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

if you want the mp3 look you can get the Starcorp Daiblo Racers from Tempe Tyres... i had 18s on my car and were $1400 with Kuhmos... i dont know if you can get 16s though but they have 17s and 18s.

Your cheapest option may be to get them repaired.

I just bought a set from ebay. Ther are brand new and have never had a tyre on them. They cost me $400 with all nuts and valve stems.
They will be on my wifes fiesta once the original tyres have had a little more wear.

That sounds about right, but at that kind of money have a look at the Yokohama S-Drive, I think would do a better job than the GSD3

195/45R16 isnt a common size so it's a bit more expensive than it should be. Stangely the 17" everything for the Fiesta is cheaper... the wheels, tyres. A goodyear place quoted me $275 for 215/40R17 tyres. (not recommended by the tyre placard but useable without problems).

Thanks, I will take a look around. It is early days yet as the car has only done 20K on the factory tyres. I will wait until these have worn a little more. But the way my wife drives, it might be a while yet.
