You have no doubt all heard this one loads of times, sorry but, wondered if anyone has any 17 inch Focus mp3 alloys for sale? Anyone any idea how much Ford want for one of these rims? Picking up brand new LX Sat, silver three door manual. Keen to get started on it. sg.graham@yahoo.com Located: Geelong, Vic. |

Good choice... the 17" MP3 wheels make the Fiesta look really nice. Got mine brand new from Ford for $690 (a set of 4). But now Ford has jacked up the price to around $1000+ for a set of 4.

Yeh Mate
That's why I wondered when people were saying, why go used when Ford are so cheap, don't seem that cheap to me. Got any pic's of your car with them on and is yours lowered? Steve. |

Hey Ives
You car looks fab with those wheels. What size tyres you got on? I think from reading posts, that there isn't a lot of choice on a Fiesta running 17's. More pic's when you fit the shocks etc please. Steve. |

Thanks, man.
The tyres are the OEM size for the Fiesta (205/40R17). But that pic is a bit old now... I have different tyres than the ones on the pic. I use Potenza RE001 now. 215/40R17. Works fine, no rubbage. Btw I only have aftermarket springs on. Shocks are still stock. I might wanna change them to Bilstein or Koni when the stock needs changing. |

Nice one Ives. For a small car those wheel arches are pretty big. Still no luck in finding any wheels, but it's just a matter of waiting.

You can try www.wheelking.com.au, mind you, they cost an arm and a leg!
Try ringing up various dealers, there's a chance they might sell it for a bit less :p

17" wheels with 205/40R17 or 215/40R17 tyres fill up the wheel arches nicely. |
