People,

Just thought I would inform everyone of the availability of Fords 17" RS 7 spokes. I purchased 2 sets direct from Ford back in 2001, these have the part number 5052352 and are the "Light Chrome" versions. I have recently damaged one of the wheels and was looking to source a replacement so I contacted the local dealer who phoned round ALL UK Ford dealers and he confirmed they are NO LONNGER AVAILABLE.

I was then told by several people when trying to sell another set that, "They are still available", "I have a new set in my house", "You can get them from fordpartsuk.com" etc etc. So I contacted Fordpartsuk.com and ordered a wheel which arrived the next day but was the wrong one - part number 5052353 which is the "Dark Chrome" version. I contacted them to ask if they could send the "Light Chrome" item instead - part number 5052352, and they replied telling me that they are NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

The only wheels available are DARK CHROME and SILVER PAINTED items not LIGHT CHROME as shown on my Fiesta Below.
