Or something else completely

Bear in mind before you vote, It's going to be going on a mk7.5 frozen white fiesta with full dress up kit and ST rear diffuser



C ;)

Same dilemma when buying our Zetec S Frozen White. Eventually went for your 'B' 16" after a back-to-back test drive against 17" 'C'. Car drove ...errrr so much 'sweeter' on them is best I can describe it, more so than I was naturally expecting. Cheaper to replace tyres, lighter, less aero drag!!! It all sort of boils down to cosmetic versus practical in the end. 17" definitely filled the arches/looked better. 16" looked acceptable and definitely drove better! ('A' not an option in our case). 'Pays your money, takes your choice'. So we put our vote down as 'B' I guess as we voted with our feet (wheels!)

Personally i like the B or B in white which is A lol
I don't know why

C for sure. They look so much better in my opinion, then again I'm biased because I had them on my ZS.

I have B, I like C, but would be interested to see what A look like in the flesh

'C' every time. Have these on my ZS and they really do look nice. But hey, I guess I would be biased!

I have a titanium and they come as standard with B, when I ordered the car I was always under the impression to change the alloys when I had the car in any case as I didn't really like the look of them, but after having the car for a while they did grow on me despite my best efforts! Out of these I would personally go for C as they do look really nice when on the car, I was actually get some myself but I went for some aftermarket ones which I will leave some (rubbish phone!) pics. They are 17x7j so a bit bigger than standard but very happy with them!

C looks nice,should have gone for other as i have ZS alloys but like C.

Voted C, seems to be the popular choice. Could look even better with the rims in black or some other colour.

C for sure!

Got to be CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC all the way, far too many spokes on A&B or am I just plain lazy when it comes to cleaning wheels :unsure:

C!

C... but I'm biased :D

For looks its a 'C' for me although i sometimes find when driving over really poor road surfaces the 17" 's can be a bit harsh when you are just rolling home from work in traffic due to the tyre profile. Don't know how much better the 16's would be but guess it depends on how much it bothers you.

I think that sometimes but then I corner at speed perfectly and regret nothing :D

Just realised (doh!) A and B aren't even an option for me, it should be E actual TX wheels, I've highlighted titanium wheels.....what a bird brain lol

Anyway after some research I'm sticking with the wheels that come with the car rather than C, as the steering rack limiter is really putting me off, two reasons there's a few entrances / exits around here that require low speed and almost a full lock on the steering and second touching anything to do with the steering rack really gives me cold feet

I might well get them painted, we'll see
