Default Mk.6 Fiesta Alloys help!

Hi every1, first post so here goes!

Ive got a '53 plate mk.6 1.6 zetec(not S) fiesta with the standard zetec alloys which im not a fan of...

was just wandering if any1 could offer some advice; would Focus st170 alloys, or fiesta ST150/500 alloys fit straight onto my model?

i know they are rare to come to come by but i just think they're worth the price cos they look so good!

cheers folks, hope someone can help!

Fiesta ST 150 & 500 alloys are the same wheel but 500's are painted. Yes they will fit.

The ST170's I haven't a fucking clue about. You don't want ST170 wheels on your car anyway as you'll lose roughly 50bhp just through Kudos!

Ah right i see, i think the standard zetec ones are 15" and they just look gash! i'd get the 17's and lower it- i think that looks quite smart!

for fear of sounding like an complete reeetard, how do u mean i'd lose that much power?!

any other alloys you'd reccommend that look good on a mk.6 fiesta if i cant find them?!

thanks!

Ignore the power thing I said mate, it's just abit of fun I like to have with the ST170 owners, I'm implying the ST170 is slower than my nan!

In terms of what other wheels, there are loads but what colour is your car?

I'm a big fan of Oz wheels... http://www.ozracing.co.uk/OZRange.htm

How about though, some used ST150 wheels and get them refurbished/resprayed into a different colour?

standard fiesta st/st500 wheels will fit, join the fiesta st owners club www.fiestastoc.com as wheels often come up on their for around £100 under ebay prices, powdercoating standard wheels black should be around £25-30 each

thanks every1 for your advice/suggestions, its been more than helpful...

my mate callum pointed me to this website; http://www.lambodoorkits.co.uk/-c-31...62a25bb18761f7

they have a massive selection and its pretty good prices, needless to say im still not decided on what alloys im after! the only thing i DO know is that because my car is silver, black alloys look the tastiest.

i'll keep every1 posted on what i end up buyin and where from

p.s, will 17" alloys fit under the arches if i was to lower my fiesta 35mm at the front and 30 at the back

cheers
