Rims for focus, sites??

[Fordy]

I was just wondering if there are any sites other than Tempe, to look at rims for the latest focus??

Im thinking of getting aftermarket rims before i buy one instead of the optional 17's???

Any pics would be good too.......

buy this to go with your wheels :

Mainly overseas options on the new Focus, there are some sensational rims as ms designs in Germany (google them, not sure of their address). Unfortunately it's early days yet.

you can look at ozzytyres.com.au too for rims.

but them and Tempe are probably your best bet

I went to a wheel place near me and i was lucky enough to catch the lenso rep and he ordered the wheels specailly, all you gotta do is know what size/width and find a style you like and ask a rep, if you're really stuck i can try and chase up some numbers

I've seen Zetec20's car in person, and 20" rims suit the Focus really well. The wheel well and guards are massive and to fill them up takes a mean rim.

Ive got 18's and want to go back to a good set of 17's ....IMO 20 are way to big unless you don't want any comfort at all .you would just have a bit of rubber round the rim no room for air

Comfort is for people that don't have style lol, you hear women talk about it all the time, but as far as handling goes 17's are the best for it

Comfort is for the old as well LOL (like me)

17"'s are the best for both worlds IMO ,Im running 18"'s and i might as well be in a go-cart....Lot's of people like it that way ,but not me

Im not a fan of any of the ones they recomend...

I dont mind the black K-speed ones on there....

[Zetec20]

The wheel wizard on tempe tyres is only for the old focus stud pattern and not the new focus, there's another car on there with the 5 x 108 stud pattern but i forget which one

Tempe has the new focus 5 x 108 use Focus C-Max

well what do you all thing about getting mags re drilled ,the 4 x 100 or the 4 x 114 drilled to 4 x 108 and sleaves put in ?

if u'd like a set of rims that you wont see on someone elses car on the road head to www.carshine.com.au ... they're located in melbourne close to the tullamarine airport.. their site caters mostly for expensive euros like mercs, bmw's and porsche but i went in one day and if you like what you see they can specially order parts for the focus.. my plan was to get some OZ superturimo WRC rims for my foci but the $$$ seem to be the only thing stopping me. worth having a look!!

Just be sure about fitment. Some of the stuff they sell is for the early Mark 1 Focus and won't fit ours. eg "German brand" Black headlights they offer. Different fit, different wiring. I know coz I asked.
