The Official Fiesta ST Wheels Thread

[LILIKE16ST]

I love my 15x8 pro race 1.2 wheels they're one of the best wheels that come in the stock crap bolt pattern for sure all around and bang for the buck. I really love those charcoal 6ul wheels in 15x8 man those things are sweet looking and come in about 4 lbs lighter per corner than even my pro race 1.2 15x8 and they were around 7 lbs lighter than the stock wheels and I could def tell the difference car accelerates better and brakes better and feels overall more lighter and nimble and I have not noticed hardly any loss of turn in but that could be partly due to using summer only bfg sport comp 2 tires compared to the Michelin all season tires that were on the car new plus having a v rt slightly stretched 195/55/15 on a 15x8 wheel could help with this as well. I love theee bfg for daily use but are heavy for the size at 21lbs each if I were to ever change the bolt pattern and opt for those sexy 6ul in 15x8 I could also go with a 2 lbs lighter per tire 205/50/15 star spec and save 6 lbs per corner from my cirrrny setup which is about what this setup lost from stock and was easily noticeable not to mention the star spec would have more ultimate grip. Telling....decisions decisions lol

I would definitely suggest doing the 4x100 conversion. But I will say it is not the most fun thing to do by any means. But hugely beneficial. The turn in is definitely to do with a sidewall hieght and sidewall stiffness. My tires that came on these(not my choice) are definitely not the best. Grip in a straight line is nice but it has a soft sidewall.

I'm sure these wheels have already been posted in this thread, but here's how the 16" Sparco Terra wheels look on a Molten Orange FiST:

Methinks a drop is coming in the near future...

Yes, with special program red paint. Very, very hot!

What offset did you go with on the PR3's?

I was worried that 15s might look to small, but I think it turned out great. Not sure how I fell about the black on black though.

Looks awesome. Black on black works well IMHO

Back to Winter mode;-)

What do you have on there for winter mode? I'm running 16" steelies with blizzaks for my first ST winter

Looks pretty good even without the drop.

IF those came in 8" width, I would use them as daily driver wheels with a 215/45, or even a 225/45 on them.

As it is, I DO plan on using them as winter setup wheels sometime in the future.

 

[srirachapenguin]

Thanks, M-Sport. I like the look of them as is too, but may as well at least try out a drop when coil-overs go on there. So far I've been pretty pleased with the 215/40 tires on them. I don't find them too wide for the wheel at all.

Those tires being so much shorter than the factory wheel/tire height (almost an inch) also adds to the wheel well gap, and it STILL does not look bad.

But yes, it will look GREAT with a little properly executed drop to it.

This is true. I probably have about an extra half inch of wheel gap compared to the factory setup. I'm definitely going to make sure the drop is properly executed

Anyone have experience with momo wheels, especially 15"?

^^^I wasn't even sure that they still made wheels anymore, you hear so little about them.

 

[neeqness]

A friend wants to get rid of them from a stock mustang and since I'm looking for a 15" soon anyway, I am considering it. Just wondering if anyone had feedback on them to help me decide whether I should go for it or just wait to buy some light wheels later. If the momos are decent, I might try them out but if they are heavy or some other issue I think I'll pass on it.

They are perfect wheels for Winter. I use them as well in 16" with my winter tires. They have that rally look and the offset is perfect with some nice knobby looking tires.
