As much as I love my 370Z I wanted to get a runabout to make it a little more rewarding when I drive it!
Anyway I bought a 2005 Fiesta ST, great little runner with full ford history and in lovely condition. Only thing that lets it down is the wheels! It needed 2 new fronts so have taken them off and my bro in law has lent me the wheels in the pics below (standard ones need refurbing anyway).
Problem is I actually quite like the 5 spokes!!
What are peoples opinions on these ones? He said I could have them for nothing, they need a light refurb so may get them powder coated white to compliment the stripes?
What ya'all thinking?!!
Here are the wheels as it stands now!


Cheers

I see what you mean about the 5 spoke looking good. If I squint, I can see it sitting on mk1 Focus RS wheels. Would some fit ? However, the wheels above cheapen the look in my opinion.

They are sitting on the fence, looking awesome one side and cheap the other! I reckon a quality refurb and some OE looking Ford centre caps would work. Not sure on white, I'd be tempted by standard silver?

The mk1 focus wheels do fit but its only a runabout and don't want to go buying any sets of wheels for it! These ones wont cost me anything, plus easier to clean (and refurb I imagine!)
gordy - i'm with you one part of me think they look a bit tacky, but they do look smart on the other side. Perhaps possibly anthracite and change the side stripes to the same colour?!
