Edit* so this is long overdue so I thought I'd update with an answer to my own question 😁

Before: Original springs and shocks with 14" steel wheels.
After: Eibach 30mm lowering springs with Bilstein shocks. 16" Alcar KFZ 7095 6.5J X 16" ET 47.5 4X108 CENTRE BORE 63.5 205/50 R16 tyres

The steelies are still available new for £52 from https://www.oponeo.co.uk/steel-wheel/alcar-kfz-7095

I was sick of seeing the old wheels every time I googled "ford focus steelies"
