Default Rare?

Ive got a set of these alloys -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FOCUS...item2a14224a22

But mine are 16" ?

I cannot find another set on ebay in 16" option, they are mostly 15" or 14" ?

Rare or not? Was going to weigh mine in, but no sure whether they maybe worth something now.

15" were standard on most cars, 16" were an optional extra.

I had a 2.0 Focus with the 16" option. Plenty about.

If there are genuinely no other sets on Ebay right now then get them listed and see what happens. Chances are there will be people looking for them on there..

Nothing to lose if you're only gonna weight them in...

The 16" Zetec wheels are more popular & more expensive than the common 15" ones but still not expensive. Maybe £120 for 4 with decent tyres.
