000 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The car I've bought has the 16"s, thinking of upgrading to the 17's, reckon it would be worth it? If so how much would it be or is anyone selling them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiestaZS90150 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I think its well worth the upgrade =). Looks alot better than the 16in. Why didnt you get the 17s when you ordered the car? I have 17in, they fill the arch alot better. Gives a even more sportier look with the low profile tyres on it. As for prices i have no idea. I think focus RS wheels would look great on a fiesta =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think focus RS wheels would look great on a fiesta =) The dealership was selling the car at a price that I couldn't refuse! Hoping they're not too expensive and that the sale of the 16's pays for it. Do you have to tell your insurers about the upgrade from 16' to 17?

FiestaZS90150 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I wouldnt think so. Here in france all we have to do is respect whats written on the car specs. What ever is written on the car (Sticker on driver side door) then you will be good to go. The sticker gives you the tyre sizes you should run on the car. Normally 3 sizes =). But if you get the ZS 17in ones you are good to go since you can get them stock on the car as new. now i live in france lol. You guys have to tell your insurance when you change a light bulb lol.

I know. Guessing I'll have to tell them if I do. Looking at the ford website, the alloys look really expensive..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiestaZS90150 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 well it depends where you live. I asked for the ST ones and they were 600 each. and then a guy on this forum from norway or something like that bought them for half the price from his dealer. Best is too go down to the dealer and ask. Or check on internet for another type of ford rim that would suit the car. I know the Cmax rims are similar too the ST ones. http://img210.imagevenue.com/loc217/th_98511_C-Max_met_ST_velgen_635_800x600_122_217lo.jpg but they are 5 nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 The alloys will be £160-200 each new from Ford, then you'd need tyres on top. And yes, you must declare them to your insurance company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

000 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Just a really random question that popped into my head, on the key for the car, if you keep hold of the unlock button does it wind the windows down? I've noticed various other cars do this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
