Default Wheels to fit an ST170

Hi
The wheels on my ST170 are getting worse for wear and really need refurbing. I need the car day to day so am looking into accquiring some cheepo steel wheels or alloys to put on while they are being re-done.

Does anybody know what wheels will fit over the front discs and calipers, was looking to fit a set of 15's off a zetec focus or similar but am not sure if they will fit?

cheers

I thought 15" wheels were too small for the brakes but im sure someone else will confirm.

Ah I thought they might be, other option is getting two done at a time and putting 15's on the rear only

The 16" zetecs fit (just) but they're not cheap or easy to hold of. Decent winter wheels though if you can get a set.

Get your wheels done at the wheel specialist they will give you a set of loan wheels whilst yours are refurbed, they just donw my ST170 wheels in Flash Chrome, look awesome. Bear in mind that because of the plastic and thin metal on the centre caps these CANNOT be powdercoated, best thing is to buy new centre caps. The standard St170 wheel colour does not actually match the standard centre caps, i went for flash chrome on my wheels and now they match the new centre caps.

Both wheels look very similar so for the sake of a couple of hundred quid i would get your standard ones refurbished instead of paying out a few hundred more for brand new wheels. Im sure you could get your standard wheels done in graphite
