Focus ST MKII - Anywhere to swap alloys?

[moebiusuk]

Hi all

I'm looking to buy a Focus ST in a month or so but I hate the alloys. I think they're a bit over the top. I was thinking of selling them and using the money for different ones (probably add more on). The problem is, the car will be my daily driver so I can't exactly take the rims off waiting for them to sell. Is there anywhere I can go to part exchange alloys?

I'd imagine somewhere like the ST owners club or something like that.

There is normally a swap or wanted section? Maybe passionford etc?

Focusstoc.com is the place for a swap or pat ex. I've got a wanted ad on there at the minute asking for set of standard wheels, so if you find you want to sell a good set, rather than swap, drop me a line.

Thanks guys. I'll be in touch BlueST as soon as I get mine.

Does anyone know the smallest size Ford wheel that will fit an ST? Planning to get some 17" steel wheels from something like a Mondeo (if they will fit) for winter tyres.

I think 16 inch steels will fit, I'm sure there are some people with winter tyres on that size rim.

That would be good! Would take te same size as my BMW e36 then.

If you look at My Tyres in the wheel and tyre package section, it will tell what size steel wheels they offer and what size tyres. Also, I'm pretty sure the winter wheel size is listed in hand book.
