Default New Focus RS wheel help...

To cut a long story short, my dad doesn't really like the wheels that come on the RS. He also says they're a bugger to clean properly too because there are so many spokes, and i think he could be persuaded to get a new set of wheels if i found the right ones.

I had a play in photoshop and i came up with this...



Then i lowered it about 20mm.



I think it looks awesome on those wheel, but there's one problem. They biggest they come in is 18", and i've looked quite hard, but i can't find anwhere that does a similar style wheel in 19".

I don't suppose anyone here knows of a wheel manufacturer that does something similar in 19"?

Exactly what I thought. You would think you try something different on the new RS.

But where can i get a set of 19" wheels of a similar style? Something chunky and not multispokes.

These will probably get disregarded as 'jap crap' but Rota Grid Drift rims in 10j are fairly similar to the above:

That looks beautiful!!!

But I'd rather go for the 9x18 Compomotives to help fill those arches, will make up for the fat their not 19's.

Awsome!

They don't look bad, but they don't come in anything bigger than 18s, and my dad wouldn't want to downgrade from 19s.

I agree with Tiff on this.


look really good on a Saff, but on a focus RS no.

You need a sharp type of wheel if you know what I mean.
