Fiesta Zetec 16" MP3 Rims

Seano · 13-05-2007, 07:37 PM

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.

Hey Sean, yes they're called the MP3 rims.

You can try looking on ebay, they come everyone once in a while and thats where I got mine. Otherwise or if your in a hurry Ford may be your only choice.

Yea, good luck with that..........$1260.00 for a set of 4 from Ford, that's without tyres too by the way.

Thanks guys... I will keep a look out on ebay, but if anyone does hear of any that someone wants to get rid of, that would be great

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.

Thanks, but they are really only needed to replace one existing MP3 that the missus ran into the gutter with. A few of the other rims have scratches too... but not that bad. I'd buy a set of 4 at the right price... otherwise thought someone might have a spare one?

Your cheapest option may be to get them repaired.

its always easier to blame it on the wife isnt it Seano...

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

Ives · 19-05-2007, 07:37 AM

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.

Outbackjack · 19-05-2007, 08:28 PM

Do any of you guys have a black 2 door LX with the MP's on it. I have been hunting for a photo with no luck. I would love to see a photo....

Cheers all.

Maybe you should put a young succulent rabbit for bait... you'd surprized how effective it is.

Aaaanyways...

Thanks, maybe I wont wait until the factory tyres are worn down further. They really set the car off nicely.

Ives · 19-05-2007, 10:26 PM

Oh mate, trust me... I was like that "oh i'll just wait till the time i need new tyres".

But when I see MISTA_FIESTA's 17" MP3s... "I get what I want and I want them now!"

Btw, mine's 17"
