Let's be honest, it's a 1.25 engine, so no matter how heavy or light the wheels are, the car isn't going to be fast no matter what you put on.

paulworthing Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well tbh I am not sure that any of them are going to make that much difference to your performance - and I would go with jma - it is how they make your car look (and reletive cost) that would be the deciding factor for me!

blade Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 that s just the point,the car goes really nice,and i dont want to lose that.... i ll probably go with the superleggera ones,they are lightweight,and look good on any car.... could anyone photoshop a fiesta so i could see how it looks with the superleggera alloys??? please???

paulworthing Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I would say that, if you do not want to potentially compromise the ride quality you have currently got, that I would not go for anything bigger than 16". You only have to look at the depth of rubber on the 17"s to know that they are going to give a slightly harder ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
