Brigante Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 similar style but which alloys are the nicest? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350896351653?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350889166316?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 i think i'm swayed more towards the dare but i'm not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Minty Jupe Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 out of the 2 i would go for the Dare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAZ91 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The Dare's do look good, a nice price too :) Id personally like Dotz on mine http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-TUPAC-ALLOY-WHEELS-FORD-C-S-MAX-FOCUS-MK1-2-RS-GALAXY-KUGA-MONDEO-CONNECT-/300646770174?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item45fff1a5fe#ht_5105wt_1171 tad expensive though :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesm182 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Out of those two I would take the dare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Recommendations on other alloys would be appreciated. Limited to around the 400 mark though Then i've some how gotta put tyres on em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Cheung Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Both are very nice! Fox ones remind me of those sat on the 599 GTO, The Dare ones are just as nice a design though and a better colour B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliaskok Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 i like the dare. They look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLORYFOCUS Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I have those fox on my focus I was torn between the these and the dare. Te dare look nicer off the car but I prefer the fox on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 do you have any more photos of them fitted mike? and did you need to fit rack limiter kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLORYFOCUS Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 No went straight on with no problems. I will take some more pics tomorrow and get them posted. I only fitted them a week ago so don't have many pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 as far as i've been aware i'll need to fit rack limiter kits to stop the tyre rubbing when on full lock. the kits are only cheap though have you lowered yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 how much did you pay by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLORYFOCUS Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Seriously I get full lock no issues and mine has been lowered. I bought it lowered already so can't be certain by how much but had to buy a low profile trolley jack to get under. They were £730 with some falken tyres, locking wheel nuts and new black nuts.

Brigante Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 i'm looking to buy new alloys fairly soon. dont think i'll lower for a while though still think i'm siding towards the dare alloys but the foxes do look proper mint fitted though where did you buy yours from?

Brigante Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 well it doesn't look like i'll be getting new alloys any time soon as just as i was about to check out i was told the alloys i want are out of stock and they wont be in stock for 8 weeks. even though they are still in stock on the site really really annoyed now i was looking to order them today and have them fitted next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Mike have you got any more photos of your alloys yet dude? I'm starting to think they may be the better option but need to see more photos of em fitted to a car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLORYFOCUS Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm rarely not at work when it's still light outside. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thats a great help mate nice one Know what you mean about work. I rarely see any daylight when I'm working. I go to work in the early hours when its still dark n drive home at night when its dark. Thats 12hour shifts for ya What is the actual colour of the alloys like? Are they a lot lighter than the dares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLORYFOCUS Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 No they're quite dark. A lot of photos on google and even sites that sell them make them look quite light. This is quite accurate if they are in strong light: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 gotta say mate i'm really torn now as they do look really mint on a focus. one of the things that was making me side more towards the dares was that every image i've seen of the foxes they look really light and i want a darker alloy. but now having seen how dark the foxes actually are n how they look on a focus they might be winning it for me managed to find some photos of the dares fitted to a car, had to borrow em off a bmw forum so i hope the owner doesnt mind if he see's this what does everyone think now that we can see both sets of alloys fitted to a car?
