Getting some new rims!

[Iceman2.0]

Allright so I am gonna be getting some new rims the first of this year after some checks today I now know that due to the cars low stance I need to stick 16" rims and 205/50-16 tires in order to avoid rubbing. Not gonna do bigger rims cause I don't wan't to run super low profile tires. So I found these their the Nascar 614 16" I like them but I am wondering if any of ya'll actually have any info on them?





Also found these that I like a little more any info on some decent black or gunmetal 16" rims would be great.

I've never seen these rims before.

More importantly, do they come in a 4x108 bolt pattern? If not, your Focus won't be able to use them.

I REALLY like the Nascar Steelie looking ones, but doubt they will come in a 4x108 in a decent sized offset to fit our car.

There exists a 4x108, 42 or 45 offset (I believe). Tirerack had these for the Focus a while back but discontinued selling them (no longer on their site).

I so far found wheelfire.com and wheelsnext.com have the Nascar wheel.

The way you made your original post makes it sound like you're ONLY deciding between that Nascar design and that Wheels Next ones. I had to read it several times before I noticed you're actually looking for some more ideas (without any punctuation marks it makes it look like you're just writing one thing).

Rims are a personal thing, and can be cheap or expensive. So far, you're wanting some sort of gunmetal colour. What about your budget? How much are you willing to spend?

[Jason86]

Well, how much are you willin to spend is the question... There are lots of options out there, OZ, Rota, BBS, Work, Enkei .... And lots lots more. And everyone has there own style. But the easiest way to limit the options, is based on budget. If your only willin to spend 4 or 5 bills on a set of wheels, then alot of the higher end REAL performance wheels might be out of the question. However, there are lots of other low end alternatives, that look just as good if not better... (motegi, MSR, enkei, ASA). So in order to help you out, we need a budget line, and what style your lookin for (i.e. 5 spoke, 6 spoke, multi, offset, lip, no lip, steelie, aluminium)... just tryin to help

So $500 to $800?

Is that with or without tires?

[Iceman2.0]

without tires I allready have tires to put on 16" rims thats what I am sporting now cause currently I have the 16" s2 rims

[Iceman2.0]

Allright so theirs a over 140 views but like 8 comments. I would really like the focus family to step up man up n help a focus brother out. When oppinions really aren't desired everyone seems to throw their two cents in but when you really want em everyones silent whats the deal. I am bumping this till I actually get some good oppinions and advice.

[MachFive]

I think it's because:

a. There are tons of wheels in 16" that will fit with those tires. It would take us years to list them all.

b. A simple search through tirerack.com, discounttire.com, victoriatire.com, etc, etc. (hell, even ebay), you can find ones that will be in the $125 to $200 per wheel range you're shooting for.

If you find some you like, definitely post them up and i guarantee you'll get opinions. But as of now, i assume most people don't know what you're looking for.

On a super quick search, these are some i found that seem to be at least close to what you're looking for:

Yeah your right and thankyou for the suggestions. I should be more specific I want 16" I am gonna be putting 205/50r16 on them I am really leaning towards black rims maybe gunmetal. Because I am rocking drum brakes on the rear I want a tire that doesn't make that so visiable. My fave rims have been the black ford racing rally rims which are these however their 17" and like I said those won't fit.



So these are really what I am looking for and I have two problems one I haven't seen any like them that where black or a dark gunmetal. The other thing is I am learry of getting a rim from just anywhere I want to make sure I get a good quality rim. Thats why I am looking for help hoping maybe someones scene some cause I've looked and haven't yet. The ones up top are close just minus some spokes and I don't know about their quality.

[Iceman2.0]

Allright so I am thinking of going another route these are the current rims I sport



And honestly I like the style not the color so I think I am gonna paint them, black of course, however one has a lip thats bent slightly and the other has some small dents on the inside lip which means I proably should replace them. So I can't decide if I want to go the cheap route get a couple new rims/junkyard specialties or put cash towards new ones. Oppinions and expierances apprecited comment away please.
