**LOW FOCI** · 04-13-2006, 04:26 AM

I want some budniks!! 17 or 18

**stayfocusd** · 04-13-2006, 08:54 AM

something black with a polished lip...
17"
I like them with a lot of wide open space...5 spokes

**OmniFocus** · 04-13-2006, 10:42 AM

A beefy-spoked inset 5 or 6 spoke wheel... in a variety of colors.

**Jive_q** · 04-13-2006, 10:54 AM

Euro "mp3" alloy, hands down the cleanest looking rim for our cars.

**LornesBored** · 04-15-2006, 05:50 PM

I like wide open spoke wheels as a start.

but next year I will be moving into the multispoke genre.

Style/color is secondary for me. Weight and offset for the money are paramount.

After shopping/scouring the internet for FOUR MONTHS..this is it \/ \/ \/
OZ Ultraleggera
15x7
4x108 bolt pattern
42mm offset
Satin Silver
11.6 lbs each

Nice wheel John. Only 15"?

**wilko** · 05-14-2006, 11:31 PM

My favorite wheels are making this awful flapping noise. So I am going to relpace them with Sport editions F2's.

**ZX3 Bullet** · 05-15-2006, 08:14 PM

favorite size for the focus is 17"

Got them yesterday. WOOWHOO!

Yeah, I have been autocrossing on 17" wheels for too long. They are too heavy (21 lbs each w/o tire mounted) and force me to use a tire with only a 40 series sidewall (too narrow, IMHO). I am going to a 205/50r15 for a while. Much cheaper tires are available in that size, too.

**Dwzx3fc** · 05-17-2006, 10:21 AM

15" are great for keeping the speedo and gear ratio's stock,but luv my SVT
Euro's in 17".

**seanmc** · 05-22-2006, 04:30 PM

Centerlines are nigh-perfect, in my book. Forged, light, strong, and also *very* reasonably priced. Favorite is the 'Excel,' which no longer seems to be avail in anything smaller than a 19"

Basically, my ideal wheel would be this, but in a 15x7 or 15x7.5 - so long as it fits over SVT brakes (most important). Failing that, a 17x7 or 17x7.5. 16" doesn't seem to offer a ton of useful choices in track rubber, so it's less useful.

Forged, forged, forged, and affordable. Basically, Centerline.

**Westermlstr61** · 05-23-2006, 12:37 AM

definately the steeda sport 18's in silver or black, probably the black

**02ztsian** · 05-26-2006, 12:41 PM

By far, OZ Superleggeras, 17x7. I also like the FRPP 15 spoke Euros but the OZ are lighter and - oh ya - already on my car!
