If it were not for all of the little scallops, and cutouts on that wheel, I would like it (aesthetically) as much as the 1.2s, but then it might just weight a couple of grams more than it does.

Nice, seeing them on the car they look 100% better. In terms of size and weight it's the perfect wheel for me but they looked terribly ugly on the link. Definitely plan on picking up some come spring when I can throw on some nice new summer tires. I just wish I could get them in a matte bronze. Not sure how I feel about the black on my kona blue FiST...but at 3lbs lighter and far less expensive it beats out the TD 1.2 in my book.

Those do look extremely good on the FiST. Maybe if people are interested we can get other offsets made. Who would be in to see more offerings from Advanti?

Suspension setup? Stock? Looks great!

A 15x7, x8, and x9 (in whatever offset works for each) would be best! Other color options would be nice as well.

Awesome! I like the mud flaps, too.

+1, as I like them MUCH MUCH better than the 6ULs in those sizes, and they would be roughly the same weight!

16x8 4x108 ET42-48 <=16 lbs, <$150/wheel would get A LOT of interest around here...

The 17s come in at 16.8 and the 15s are at 11.3 so splitting the difference would put a 16 at a conservative 14lbs. I think.

Yes, even MORE SO than the 15s, and likely the ONLY wheel which could possibly change my mind from the 16x7 1.2s.

Spoke with Advanti. They only have the Storm S1 in Matte Black, 17x8/4x108/45mm offset w/73mm hub bore. The linked business in the first post provides free chrome lugs (+$15 for black) but no hub rings which are needed. Only $10 for the hub rings from there.

I can look into better pricing but need a head count to provide Advanti with.

I can look into better pricing but need a head count to provide Advanti with. Advanti does not drop ship, so any pallet(s) would need to come to me and I will ship to you. this affects shipping cost, yet to be determined when the deal is finalized. I can work hub rings into the price. I am set up to sell Ford Racing parts and Ford OEM, so if you want a set of TPMS sensors, from me/Ford, they are like $150. Have to check. Amazon/Ebay are places most go for TPMS sensors. As far as lug nuts go, if you want cheap chrome lug nuts, which IMO you will regret, I can price those in as well.

Will start a post in the PCA vendor forum. I do not make promises I can't keep. Worst case, you buy from the other place.

Hold off on this if you could. I'm currently working with a rep from Advanti to get more options from them in the near future. Might be worth it to get everything done in one go.

I just spoke with the national sales manager. Who are you working with?

 

[M-Sport fan]

WHOMEVER does this, can we ask for a 16x8 in our needed PCD/offsets/etc., since these are all but non-existent for our cars anywhere??

I'm working with Steve at their office right now. Not sure of his position but he made it seem like they are very interested in expanding their product offerings for the FiST.

The wheels are manufactured in Malaysia. More often than not, these factories are not set up for quick changes or investments in new castings. Just don't want everyone to get their hopes up.

True, but out of all the other companies YHI manufacturers wheels for, Advanti is their own. If they are interested in growing the brand, they might jump on it. Also the FiST, and Fiesta by extension, is EXTREMELY popular over seas so it would be to their be to their benefit to tap into a market that isn't fully penetrated yet. Especially in the lightweight flow formed wheel area.

I got my set from discount tire. Roughly $200 a wheel with tax, tpms swap, mount, balance, all in.
