The Official Fiesta ST Wheels Thread

Got my tires on my wheels today. Hopefully doing a test fit next week.

Nice! Look forward to hearing how they ride and seeing them mounted.

The Kosei K wheels are roll formed which means nearly as strong as forged wheels but far less money, glad to see more coming out, hope they make them in 8" wide like they do in 15's, 4x100.

Yeah... I wish they came in 16" but not yet. I was reading around and they are planning to release more sizes but only the 7" for now on initial release. There are next to no tire choices at 205/40 r17. Frustrating.

215/40r17 there are some options star specs, rt615s, RS-R 595.

215/45r17 will work with close to factory offset without lowering options in that size are plentiful

 

[GAbOS]

Thanks for the info. The SSpecs in 215/40 are pretty close to OE diameter but wow they are wide. 8" tread width.

Didn't see anyone post these yet, my winter rims: Sport Edition P5 in anthracite, 16" by 7.5" 42mm offset. Currently with 205/50-16 BFG Comp-2 A/S tires. Pretty good bargain setup that is 3#s less per corner than stock wheels/tires.

Those are SHARP!

Unfortunately there are no 17's that fit well that will give a decent ride and not many 16's to pick from but getting a bit better in wheels at least and 15's are even a bit limited. Cars here just got bigger and bigger and bigger, wheel diameters grew to silly proportions, now we have a little lightweight car without much choice in what to put on it to make it look good and work well in the real world. The best we can do is sort out the solution that fits our needs as close as possible which often means at least 2 sets of wheels and tires or in some cases more.

The more that realize just how critical picking the best wheels and tires and lowest weight that works for you the happier I am as this wonderful little car deserves the best shoes you can put on it

Love the Spark's just wish they were lighter. They weight the same as the stock wheels. but they look really nice! Im glad you stuck with the silver wheel look and not the black on black.

 

[RAAMaudio]

Love the look at well, BBS style wheels are my all time favorite, I have had many sets from low cost clones up to 3 piece $$$$$ real BBS race wheels

Silver on black goes really well.

Too bad about the weight

Thanks guys! I know i wish they were lighter too but atleast i didnt go heavier? Lol well maybe the tires did but overall i like it. Ive never been a fan of the "murdered out" look so i kept it simple

I'm pretty sure I'd break my spine within five minutes of driving around DC on those things hahaha

To be honest with you they're holding up pretty well. If you think DC streets are bad try coming to Philly . I hit a huge pot hole on 95 south and was for sure thought my sparco was bent . It held up . Going 6-7 months strong !

My spine has been broke ever since my celica. Had bc coilovers on that with 8k up front and 12k in the rear

You and I are on 16" Sparcos, the one I quoted had 18" Sparcos.

I've had a couple hard hits, but I'm doing ok so far as well. The whole I-95 corridor from Richmond to Boston is a shit show of potholes. I've spent a lot of time in Philly, its all basically the same nightmare. Blah.
