The Official Fiesta ST Wheels Thread

[Max Archer]

I just got a set in white sent this week for my Oxford White. Not my first choice color combo but I could not pass up sub 100 a wheel.Plasti-dip and a single can of bronze metalizer would work fine ;>

I went with 205/50 r16 Firestone Winterforce. I will be sure to get pics once they are mounted this weekend.

I'll be interested to see how they turn out if you dip them bronze. I'm thinking I may end up doing the same once I get totally sick of the upkeep on white ones.

i have been looking at wheels and I have to say I see little that fits my taste, sucks. Any I like are the same weight, wide and/or offset as the OEM wheels or are more money than what I wanna spend.

Anyone have any more info on those RH wheels on page one? I like those alot but a quick google search shows they are porsche wheels ($$$) but thats all I can find on them

Ok my last post I kinda lied this looks good

Just got these put on. The brake dust is real with the OE pads. Already getting muck from the drive back from the tire shop.

Sparco Terra 16x7 with Firestone Winterforce 205/50 r16.

Haha, no joke about that brake dust. I see you took your stickers off, I was thinking about doing the same. I really want to make replacement Sparco ones in red, but matching the curvature would be a pain. One of my friends said I should put OZ decals on them, but I think that's kind of ricey. (And really surprising, because the guy who said it is normally the least ricey guy you'd ever meet, a former factory Porsche Motorsport tech who daily drives a restomodded 914 and owns a vintage Formula Atlantic car.)

Where'd you find these in white? I cant seem to find any other color outside of the grey.

They actually came w/o the stickers put on yet. I have not decided if I want to apply them or not yet.

They were on closeout at Tire Rack so I assume they were in low quantity.

Oh weird, mine came with the stickers on them, and I got them last week from Tire Rack as well.

Edit- actually, is there any chance you could take a straight-on pic of your stickers before you put them on? It'd make it much easier to make alternate color ones, since I could just trace the unapplied sticker in Illustrator.

Anybody have the OZ Leggendas in black? Considering these for my Oxford White. I'd prefer white, grey or silver wheels.. but the brake dust..

I wish i would have never seen this picture man, been on my mind for days. I like the look alot. By chance do you have any pictures of the relationship between the fenders and tire?

Like so?

or so

I am thinking the fitment of these isn't aggressive enough for my liking.

after some googling I found this

So never mind it tells me what i need to know

 

[J2FoRS]

Does anyone know whose car is on the OP with the Avant Garde M240 17" wheels. The MO? I'm very interested in this set up and if modification was required to fit the 8.5" wheel.

I think his user name was tylo60. He sold me those wheels just prior to trading in for a Jeep Wrangler. I actually just sold them tonight as well. Yes modifications need to be made. Very aggressive fender roll and pull will be needed, along with a 5mm spacer for the face of the wheel to clear the brakes.

Ah right. Knew I had seen them somewhere else. Dang. I wish there was a narrower rim that offered some sort of the same look.

Motegi MR116 with polished rims

Decided on these in the end, glad that I did. 17 x 7 so transferred the stock tyres. Pictures not great - from my phone. Just on the feel I'd say about the same weight as stock, maybe a touch heavier even.

Thought I would contribute my new set up. 17x8 ET42 fifteen52 Turbomac with 5mm spacers up front to clear the brakes.

My brakes were a nightmare looking for wheels, nothing I liked was available in the right bolt pattern and offset.

Very nice. Mind telling more about your tire letters. Are they stick on or painted?

Thanks. They are rubber decals that use a "special" adhesive. A company called Tredwear makes them
