The RS with Superleggera's I'll bet were 19's - hard as fucking nails but impractical on a day to day basis (imagine having to replace the tyres every 6 months because they wear on the inside edges) and borderline pointless on a standard, non-wide-arched Focus.
mines dont need changed every 6 month,you need a geometry set up once its lowered thats what kills tyres.

im on coilovers and dont suffer any of the above.tired shocks,lowered cars with no geometry set up cause the above,the rs came with 18's,dont think they would send a car from factory that did the above .i use mine as a daily driver

anyways couple of pics with 19's on my mk1 focus
