laumk7 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ah okay. So what have these wheels come off then? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SINGLE-GENUINE-FORD-FIESTA-MK9-NEW-FACELIFT-SHAPE-15-ALLOY-WHEEL-AND-TYRE/331479862672?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D29165%26meid%3D04bb140439c245d08c263f6ee7097679%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D111593679688&rt=nc They're the same wheels I've got on my mk7.5 2013 zetec Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexh89 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I recommend the Zetec s street pack alloys. I've had no problems with them in the 10 months I've had the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Entity Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Get zetec s alloys, best looking oem wheels and I've had no problems and hit plenty of potholes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macleod92 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Do you mean these ones? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Fiesta-Zetec-ZS-ST-Street-Pack-15-Alloy-Wheels-Silver-MK6-MK7-MK8-/221691984180?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item339ddf3934 Surely a a newer set of wheels like these would be more likely to be better? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FIESTA-MK9-ALLOY-WHEELS-SET-OF-4-ZETEC-15-INCH-GOODYEAR-TYRES-2014-/331461919687?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d2cab83c7&clk_rvr_id=783693019264&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true Cheers, Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace1969 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Mine are the first link but 17'' not a problem at all and what a few said in the other post on here. Hit loads of holes and no steering wobble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macleod92 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 So considering the fact that I drive around a load of country roads which aren't the smoothest in the world. Do you think I'd be better off going for the 15" version so there's a little bit more rubber to protect the alloy? Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace1969 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 That is a good option going smaller wheel and bigger tyre. I would look at going 1 bigger on mine just for the road feel as it's a bit hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardM_Berks Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Suggestions: 1. Check that the inside tyre wall isn't compromised in case it's not the wheel. 2. The Ford Zetec S 17" wheels may be an option (larger diameter wheel, lower profile tyre, better grip, but - more road noise, slightly higher fuel consumption, though). 3. Ford B-Max Titanium 17" wheels - but use the Fiesta 205 40 17 tyres (wheels look nice, appear strong, may have wider offset). 16 inch steel wheels may still be impacted by a severe pot-hole but you could re-use your standard tyres (and 16" tyres are cheaper than 17" If you can provide timely photographic evidence of the pothole concerned, you might also send full details to the relevant local council, holding them responsible and claim full cost of repairs. After-market wheels may not be as strong as OEM and may cause insurance issues if fitted and not declared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Entity Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The top link, you can get them in 17" too like mine. And no not necessarily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
