Thanks to some shopping on these forums, I now have some Fiesta XR4 rims on my Focus. The smaller tyre on the Fiesta (205/40R17 vs 215/45R17 for the Focus - about 15mm smaller radius - make the car look like it has SUV-like ground clearance, but by my calculations only has my speedo reading about 3km/h under at 100km/h.
When I wear out the PZero Neros, I'll get some the right size. Maybe I should lower it a bit anyway! Some pics....   BTW - I have my Zetec 16" rims for sale in the "For Sale" section of this forum if anyone is interested... http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11243822 Mick. |

Excellent choice of wheels.... but I may be a bit biased

Looks good mate. Try and get a full car photo. Always liked the XR4 rims. Not sure why, maybe it's the simplicity, but I just always thought they looked the goods. Loving the black LR too mate, not too common!

It's looking good Mick. What I like about these and the ST170 wheels is the "panel" that obscures the wheel nuts. Oh, I can also recommend the ST170 suspension if you're planning on doing anything to it.

i'm quite the opposite eddie, i don't like wheels with centre covers.
That's mostly what made it so difficult to get my wheels. Being 4 x 108's most of what was on offer were blanks with covers and IMO they all looked tacky. The XR4 rims do look quite tidy tho...
