new wheels..........dont look if you hate fords!
After many months of agonising over wheel choice, then wheel colour and then wheel choice again, I finally made up my mind last month and got these, problem was there were 8x18 only.......so in true powartek fashion I bit the bullet and after some careful measuring and double checking and NO ARCH MODS at ALL there on. This car is lowered on eibach springs and is FULLY drivable and not just posing for the pics, having covered 20 odd miles today there is no scraping, anywhere and to top it off I get full lock both ways and can manover.
Wheel choice wont be everyones liking but I dont like to follow the trend of black wheels thats been with us for the past few years.

Very nice mate. But the colour of the car does not quite go with the alloys.
It goes but not 100% in my opinion.
Darren
p.s. i hope you have not got tiny discs and calipers behind those wheels is so you should be ashamed of your self.

Nice wheels, fair play.
I toyed with the idea of getting white alloys for my WR Blue Impreza but bottled it in the end and went for gunmetal Rota GRA's.
I like white though, they look "striking".

Looks good mate.
The problem with Ford at the mo is that they're making their wheen arches so big, yours is a good example, you've got big old [sorry new] wheels there but they don't actually look that big in the photo, i guess it's because you always link the Fiesta to being a little run around, you think back to say a mk2 or mk3 you'd never in million years be able to stick a set of 18"s straight on!!!
But either way fair play, looks really good and i don't think the colours look that bad together.

Looks superb. I wasn't sure what to expect as I clicked on the link(s) but the car looks great. With black trim and tyres, grey paintwork, and clear lenses I think you've got a fantastic contrast with the white alloys... all the colours work together.
I'm quite jealous. In fact, I actually hate you.

i have recently put white wheels on my scoob and have got to say they are a bugger to keep clean but well worth the bit extra attention they demand.

I must say those white wheels are quite impressive. Good on you and thanks for posting.
