Default ST170 Alloys

Got a set of standard 170 alloys on my gray focus. Thinking of changing them to gun metal Kei Force 10.



What have you guys got on your foci and how do you have any pictures?

Cheers.

I've got a set of kei force 10s that i'm currently refurbishing to be put on my st170. They are a nice wheel but apparantely they do crack very easily, a second hand set i bought had 2 cracked wheels. So I would consider something else if the roads round your way are crap!

They look nice on the focus, I think there the same one's as the wheels on my dad's Mondeo.

These also loook nice I think.






Ah decisions, decisions!

They look realy nice on the Focus, but only work if the car is very low unless you fit bigger tyres.

ye the focus has only been dropped 20mm. it defo needs to be -40mm but then you'd need to get rock hard dampers as even with 205 width tyres they stick out about an inch.

Its cos the offset of cossie rims are miles out of what a focus needs. Will ruin the handling and fook the wheel bearings in no time!
