I wish I thought about trading in my old rubber when I got my new wheels but I got a bit side tracked once the new wheels were on the car, probably an idea to post them up for sale before they turn in to spider farms

Hey, I love these chromes, i wonder how it went on your missus's car? I am considering to see if some similar better wheels onto my car next year. In reading this thread, would it not void the warranty as long I notify the insurance that I have added the chrome rims onto the fiesta and whatnot?

They reckon you should inform your insurance to keep things sweet with them so just for instants say if you had a smash and it was your new wheels that had caused it they could void it due to the fact you did'nt inform them.

i'm having my wheels fitted saturday morning will inform insurance
when i get home just to be on the safe side.

look forward to checking it out. I am wondering about getting similar chromes on mine sometime in the new year when the money permits tho. I am not sure if lowering would be a good option as well since my drive way is steep and it would be much of an hassle to drive up, perhaps, i'll leave the stocks as it were....also, am I allowed to keep the factory wheels as well?

My wife's Fiesta, just needs lowering now. I will get her to take side on shot. This was closest I could find for what she has taken thus far.

Anyone know where I can pick up a set of those 15" NOS wheels that are on the LX model? I'm in the north west area of Victoria.

I looked at ebay for that particular size but it returned no result, are they very hard to find tyres? Or is that 205/40/r17?

Ebay has a few online tyre shops which have sales on every now and again, just go to ebay.com.au and type in for example "195/50/15".

How much does fitting tyres to wheels cost on average at a tyre shop? I'm new to the whole owning a car thing lol.
