XR5 Alloys

elissamac · 03-10-2007, 01:40 PM

HI, anyone know if i can buy the alloys that are on the Turbo, I really like the style,
Thanks

mudwaa · 03-10-2007, 01:49 PM

wheelking.com.au if u can afford them.

If you buy the Proper XR5T ones they wont fit cause they are too wide and they will scrub on the car. also the steering ratio on the XR5T is different so it will rub against your wheel arch....

You may have to get imitations.

I want some new alloys for my Focus as well but have no idea what I want yet. Zetec wheels would be nice but all the genuine stuff is so overpriced it's not worth it.

Any suggestions?

Something Simple, Silver and not tooooo many spokes is all i can say... its hard to know what works cause te LT is different to the LS.

Are there copies of the XR5 rims?

i have a new zetec with 1K on it and thinking of selling the rims w/ tires. Wheelking wants $1300 just for rims. Any offers?

fairmont1998 · 03-10-2007, 10:18 PM

What State are you in?

I haven't seen the new Zetec wheels for real yet, don't know if they look any good.

What are you thinking of replacing them with?

Where did you find this info from?

I've seen images non-STs in the UK with these rims on them, the posts that accompany them state they purchased the rims from a ST owner. If you go to the Ford Australia website, and compare a CL and XR5 Specs, the track is the same.

Also what the hell would steering ratio have to do with anything.

Am I the only person in the world that doesn't like the XR5 rims??

I think they look good on the XR5 but would look too vulgar on a normal Focus, not to mention they'd be a pain to clean.

photn · 04-10-2007, 01:38 PM

obviously havent tried cleaning ST170 rims?!!! lol

Those are the imitations. Don't know how much they cost to ship to Australia, something u would have to email the seller about. 495 pounds = around just over $1100 which is not too bad at all with tyres.

i say just find something aftermarket locally that you like MORE than the XR5T rims

Alternatively you could always post in the WTF section of the XR5T forums.

melbzetec · 15-10-2007, 10:06 PM

Miyagi, I'm sure you meant the WTB section (wanted to buy). The WTF would another section entirely!!!!!LOL

FOCUSonTHIS · 15-10-2007, 10:38 PM

Good call Steve....

Rollake70 · 23-11-2007, 07:30 PM

can anyone confirm/deny fitment of xr5 rims on NA focii, other than hearsay?

thinkin bout grabbin a set from european parts

outback_ute · 24-11-2007, 04:39 PM

Compare turning circle figures on the spec sheet. The Fiesta XR4 has a similar issue.

I would have to say the these rims are the easiest things to clean! No corners, no deep grooves just wipe wipe done!!!!

nlfbt8 · 26-11-2007, 11:40 AM

Here's a set in SA ... bit pricey though.

Sometimes this entire forum can be a WTF forum. LOL

Rollake70 · 30-11-2007, 03:13 PM

after reading some of the threads of ffoc.co.uk, they seem to be fitting them just fine.

any difference between our models and thiers? apart from the amount of doors?

if not, im ordering mine tommorow...
