I think they will definitley suit a black fiesta 100%, on any other colour i would say NO NO NO. From that pic are the little circles between the spokes in gold? If so BLING BLING BLING.
Are they available in the 4 x 108 stud pattern?

Too bling for a European Car IMO

I'd have to see em Myself before I voiced my opinion. Personally I reckon "Sporty" rather than "Bling" Suits the Fiestas.
What a bummer to hear that the ST' rims fell through once again! Good luck finding some rims Adrian. I reckon go to Bob Jane and source some OZ racing wheels... |

I'd be curious to see how they look on a small hatch but I think they'd be a little too chunky. Soild five spoke 2- and 3-piece rims seem to suit the Fez best from what I've seen across the board.

"Gestalts"....
evryone has them and to tell the truth i dont think they would look good. My opinion is that spokes or a star sort of patter would look alot better... if you go to the autosalon, u will see alot of rx7s, subarus have them. |

Here you go, Adrian. ST170 wheels on a black Fez. Crappy re-colouring of my white car. Hope you likes. If you want, I can try the "bling" wheels next.
Cheers, Chris

if you get blingy rims like that you need bigger than 17's mate, otherwise they are just poor mans bling. personally bling needs to be so shinny it burns your eyes and they have to be BIG like zetec20's rims on his focus. They were masive, and awsome, but expensive and now he is selling them cos he cant afford the rubber replacement.
I think some 18in flat 5 spokes on da little hatch would be mad, or some deeeeeeep dish ones. those ones you shown us, by my opinion look crap, but they may look different on the actual car. |

:sm_headba Back on topic,Festec, personally I thint the Gestalts won't look quite right, that style tends to look smaller on the car, but as has been mentioned before, if you like them, why not? (I do suggest going to where you're buying them from and getting someone to hold them up against the car to give you a better idea of how they'll look, all the photoshopping in the world won't really do the job.) Cheers

yeah not a big fan of those wheels, i've also heard they're low quality too, have a look on the tempe and ozzy tyres websites for better bling wheels, especially the dolce's from tempe, and trust me, i've looked into my bling!

Put a set of these up against the car and they looked to small in a 17" so another idea bites the dust. I am really getting to the point of no careing about wheels but I don't want to get like that so I have looked at 3 more wheels on the net and need opions again if you guys and girls don't mind.
1) 2) 3) They are in order of which one's I like the best. Cheers again Adrian (Festec) Just to let you all know I went through 24 different choice before I choose the wheels for my WRX. |

I'm in favour for number three. I have a thing for multi-spoke white rims.

Here is the link to the wheel web site
http://www.stamfordwheels.com If you are in Sydney you can get them from www.eagletyres.com and in Melbourne the only place I know of is The tyre factory. But one thing is the third wheel is not white it just looks like that in the picture. |
