Good start mate! Whatever you do, don't put 18" wheels on it, it was the worst thing I ever did to my old st170, the ride was terrible after that.
Maybe a set of st170 wheels and some eibach lowering springs? Eibach do not compromise the ride quality at all, and they are ford approved too, you can even buy them from your ford parts departmant!

Only thing with the focus is that the wheel offset is between ET42 and ET45, which means that escos wheels, and even normal escort/mondeo etc alloys won't fit without scrubbing the arches as they will only be ET38 at the most. I tried a set of alloys on my old focus that were ET38, and they scrubbed the rear arch.
ST170 wheels are expensive, I sold mine for Ł450, but keep looking out and you will pck up a bargain with a scruffy set that need a bit of paint

im prob goin to look for aftermarket wheels to be honest i might try the cossie rims but dont think there big enough, where the tyres are stretched it may look under wheeled
think 17's are def the way, cossie wheels are et 25
