i like the 2nd ones.

[kuans]

yea. the 2nd ones. easier to clean :-)

[Velociraptor82]

I'd have to agree with everybody...the lensos do look like great wheels but they don't seem to suit the focus as well i'm afraid. The CRW looks alot easier to clean as well..

are they all 18x8??

[BlackLS]

Keeping the mudflaps? First set

Otherwise second set will look great

[Mullett]

Interesting call on the mudflaps...i was going to keep them (I drive on gravel a lot), but was considering painting them body colour...might make them stand out too much though. They're all in 17 (the size I was going to get) but my photoshop might not have been quite to scale (I tried :P) I keep telling myself I should hate the CRW wheels, and they look heaps crappier than the other ones in the standalone pics, but they actually do seem to look the best on the car...also, because the spokes come all the way out, they look bigger, and unlike the first set, the spokes don't curve heavily inwards from the centre (which I'm not a fan of...)
Plus, CRW are $100 cheaper :P

[Mullett]

Oh, and the CRW come in silver, or white....hmmm. Not sure how white would look on silver car...probably crap.

-RM.

[Velociraptor82]

Yeah don't go white.....definatly go the silver..

however if you wanna get those black stripes, try getting matching black rims....

[Mullett]

I wanted black rims with silver dish, but the choice is almost non existant...although, if I got the first rims, I could get the centres painted black

-Edit: will 18s look too big? I'm half thinking about spending the extra $$$ for the bigger ones and just dealing with the cost of tyres when it comes...

My daughter was looking for the same thing. Someone is bringing out a good looking one which should be available very soon if not now. There similar to the first ones but without the studs on the rim. BSA also do something like the first one but with the black centres.
I'll check with her and post details for you.

well I actually think 18's suit the focus better then 17's. Check out the pics on my previous post so you have an idea of how 18's would look on a standard focus. Really depends on you really as you'll be the one looking at it everyday. Good luck with choosing rims!

I dont really like any of those options.

skriblz rims look far better then the 3 options here.

[RJO89]

Agreed, skriblz rims are awesome. But of the three choices there, I would go for the middle ones.

[MW_WA]

Lock in (B) for me as well, Eddie.
They complement the clean, unfussy look of the car pretty well I reckon.

The 3rd ones would probably look better on a car that's not so "chunky" in appearance.
The 1st ones are just ugly IMO.

[Mullett]

Ooooh...damn right...at risk of ripping you off (it's ok, we're in different states :P) Where did you get them from? And how much? I'm having a very hard time finding rims that'll fit the focus, no-one cares about our poor little 5x108 cars and distributors in WA are helpful but extremely expensive (2k+ for 17s with tyres) :(

-RM.

-Edit: just read the last post....you got them from Tempe. I've called them a couple of times, and I just get the 'the only ones that will fit are the ones on the fitment wizard'. Is there someone in particular I should talk to to get a straight answer?

[Mullett]

And if the Warwick ones are available...I like these too

That looks better than the photoshop shots, I still think you cant go past a five spoke wheel.

[skriblz06]

yehhh its hard to find wheels for our lovely cars, most of the good designs wont be able to match our stud pattern. hmmm nahh no one really in particular to really talk to. I just basically went there one weekend and asked out of the ones they had in stock and I liked, which ones would fit. What I also done beforehand was sent them an email with pictures from their package range that I liked and asked them would it fit a 05 Ford Focus and they got back to me within a few days.

Yes get those Warwick ones! If it fits the Focus I reckon it would look quite nice actually.

[RJO89]

Yeah those Warwick ones look great. Definitely top the list!

[fordel]

I tried a few times looking for rims for my ST170, wasnt much of a real choice that i found.

Those last ones you showed the Warwick ones are 100x better then any of the other 3, i would go with something like that.

That rim would look good on my wheelbarrow.

[Mullett]

The Warwick ones are the clear winner, they're pretty much what I wanted from the start, but I'm still not sure if I can get them drilled to suit...I'll do a quick photoshop and see what they look like

hahahahahahaahahahaah......
if other rim was more of a silver then perhaps would look better????

[Bucknaked]

The center spokes on that are too wide. A little thinner, on the money definitely
