Default Focus ST on diffrent wheels..

Anyone got any pics of ST's on diffrent wheels?

Was thinking about puting some 09 Focus Rs wheels on but not sure they would look right on a 5dr ST..

Any pics welcome

How do the 20" change the handling tho? as I dont want to compromise that just for bigger wheels, id rather just stay for 18" bbs's and keep the handling perfect

I don't really rate how they handle on 18"s let alone 20"s lmao They are a really really nice car but they are too nose heavy I'm thinking of chopping mine in for an old shape RS

Paulo, I think they are fantastic cars, I can understand what you mean about being nose heavy.. Still think they handle better than the majority of cars out there..

Im sticking to 18's

Those BBS wheels are simply awesome on most cars, they suit the ST down to the ground as well.

Prefer the standard wheels to those personally.

The RS doesn't have the greatest of wheels.

I'm with you on that. They're not a bad wheel, but they do look a bit 'ordinary'

My money is on the standards or those BBS ones
