Mr_Freeze Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi guys, I've just got a 2013 focus titanium x with the 17 inch wheels. The wheels are a bit rough from curbing so I'm thinking of changing to the 5 spoke 18 inch wheels. I've seen the 5 spokes advertised on Ford as both silver and gloss black options. I've seen many with the silver 5 spokes but none with the gloss black. Has any body seen any and if so what did you think, do they look ok. FYI, mine is a Frozen white so I think it would suit the black wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randoms Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I've always liked black wheels on white cars, going from 17 - 18 will firm up the ride a little & cost you more in rubber. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
