Fiesta Titanium - Alloy Wheels

[jimbob1989]

Hi.

I am interested in buying a new Fiesta Titanium 1.6TDCi and would like the 17" alloys fitted to the car. Unfortunately you cannot have them as an option on the diesel model any more so I would have to buy them as an accessory/from parts.

Couple of questions!!! If I did this, would anyone here be interested/think there will be enough interest to buying the standard titanium 16" wheels off me, and what tyres do people with the 17" alloys have fitted so that I could price them up!

Thanks a lot!

what tyres do people with the 17" alloys have fitted so that I could price them up!

The original tyres on mine are Bridgestone Potenza 205/40 "RE050A" (there are several subtly different Bridgestone models - not sure how much difference there is). Last time I looked they were about £120 each (not looking forward to when mine wear out...).

Ask the dealer to make you an offer for the 16" wheels and tyres that its supplied with and get him to price you up a set of 17" alloys with a rather large discount cause your buying a car of him!

The 17" alloys inclusive of a good brand tyre is around £250 without discount per corner

As antonyj says, negotiate with the dealer, maybe they could do a swap of the alloys from another one of their cars.

I have 205/40 Continental ContiSport3's and they were £165 per tyre Asked for a dicount and got them for £120 each
