I may have a set of the 17 inch optional Focus alloys up for sale at some stage - I assume thats what you mean by 17 inch Zetec - but I think a certain Fiesta owner may want them still, depending on when I change to 18s.

do the focus 17inch Factory rims fit the fiesta? I had assumed the stud pattern may have been different (not that I have ever checked)

Yeah just email him and ask what he has got - he had them when I was looking at buying my 17 inchers. If you're a club member of eurofordcub, mention that too.

Last I checked, about 6-7 months ago they were about $800 a wheel, not woth it. You could try shipping them from US, British American Transfer have them for USD224.00 per wheel. Prob. wont be cost effective but worth a try. Link below....

st170 rims are not 800 a rim, at least not anymore. when i had my 16" zetec rims stolen i looked at the st170 which if i remember correctly were about 400 a rim, but i chose to go with the optional 17s which were only 170 a rim...go figure. (to replace the 16"s i lost would have cost only a little less than the st170 rims...again..go figure)

That is true - the 17x7's are listed as $179.00 each, so expect to pay about $190 or so per rim, thats brand new over the counter from Ford.

ST170 rims are usually sold as replacements only (thats what Ford wanted us to do when they first came out anyway), but now they're pretty much open to anyone who is willing to pay for them - i know we have at least 2 sets in stock and we can get them on overnight freight, with or without tyres.

And they are most certainly not $800 a rim.

Off the top of my head i dont know, but i will find out. Whereabouts are you? The dealers i work it as in Wagga Wagga, NSW, but i guess we could arrange freight - will have to see.

Any Ford dealer should be able to match any price i give you though, the rims are the same price regardless of where you get them from.

not sure of the chrome theme happening with fiestas... just not their style of car... plus chromes are due to go out of fashion, just like spinners were set to be a hit... but i laugh at everyone i see
Russ, you should know.... your car looks great without chromes....

Tempe doesnt just have chromes though....there are a few different styles...only problem is you get completely crap rubber on the rims you buy.
