There are some way hardcore wheels out there and some are extremely affordable. Just because you don't have 3,000 to spend on wheels you can do some bomb wheels for half that. European bad ass wheels don't always = $$$ imo. Go on VW Vortex and you'll find a load of good options for 4x108.

Mk5's are sexy by themselves...

But I think the OP was refering to wheels for a 4x108/Focus fitment...

with a little ingenuity, you'd be surprised on what will fit a focus.
just gotta get off the mindset of the only thing that fits is 4x108!

Just by looking at Davor's car and Mitch's plans, looks like I have to step up too. Once I'm done fixing one more thing on my car I'll be giving Mitch some of my money.

Thanks.

I think they're called "MP3" wheels from the Focus MP3 Edition that was available in Europe. Very limited and supposedly hard to find nowadays. Wheels look good too. I've been trying to get a "Hardcore Euro Wheel Thread" started here but I've been way too busy with work - in fact I haven't washed my car ever since I took those pics.

Stahl S2 Editions
*look* like 17x8.5 and 17x9.5
again, *look* like a high offset with adaptor setup, probably a 52et front and 45 et rear with 20mm adaptors...

im into lowriders but i'll have to admit that the stretchy look on these cars are pretty sick. i have a 01 zx3 daily driver. the only thing i've done to it is lower it. i've been doing some browsing on this forum for about 2 months now and finally registered to it about 10 minutes ago so this is my first reply on this thing. i'll post up some pics of my car when i get some wheels on it.

There's one other person that's out here on FJ that's been interested for a while now. If he doesn't want it come the time I get rid of my Focus, you're next on the list.

Sorry man, all in good fun.
but a nice set of staggered Euro wheels will run you upwards of $1400-2800 just for the wheels...

hate to say it but very few focus owners can afford wheels like that so as a general rule, it's a running joke!

well if you know the right places to look you can pick up some sweet wheels used ....BUT i have only seen about 3 focus' that are even low enough to pull them off, and most seem to screw up the tire sizes. sportlines arent low enough. you need some coils most likely FK's, pull the helpers and rear perches then you'll be on the ground.

and random those benz wheels are awful chromed out AMG's not even multi piece? weak.
