JasonBrown2K13 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Hi all, Just after some advice really. The stock alloy wheels on my Fiesta are a bit scuffed and I'm thinking about either getting them refurbished or looking at some aftermarket wheels instead. When it comes to wheels I like wheels that make the car look sporty but also fairly discrete. For example the wheels on the car below don't really do it for me: I prefer the style of the wheels on the car below: Which wheels do you think would look best on my Fiesta? Below are a few photos of my car. I've tried to look on the internet for wheels people have put on blue cars like mine but I haven't really found anything.

It looks like the biggest wheels I can get are 17" or 18". Ideally I'd like not to have to lower the car and also maintain a smooth ride (I'm sure the tyres affect the ride quality more though?) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I've always been a huge fan of Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 and have stuck a set on my Fiesta.

Dan P Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 They're available in a range of colours. White could look nice against your blue but they're not very subtle and are probably a challenge to keep clean! I think black and blue can work well together - check out matte black Ford 5-spoke alloys on my other build build thread. Before I invested in the Team Dynamics I did a lot of Google image searches and browsing of online stores (e.g. Demon Tweeks, RimStyle). You can go up to 18" however 16 and 17 are more common. You may need a steering rack limiter depending on what wheels you choose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonelson96 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Stock 15 inch Escort Gti wheels suit fiesta's quite well sometimes. I used to have Fox racing wheels 15 inch on my Escort Gti which are pictured below ( I don't have these wheels anymore) but they could suit the Fiesta quite well?

I'll have to see on Google if anybody's done a blue Fiesta with similar black wheels. I've seen some black wheels on blue Fiestas on Google Images but I wasn't liking the look too much. Do they do those wheels in a silver style? That could be an option. I'll have to do some research about the steering rack limiter as well. I'd probably go for 16" or maybe 17". I guess a garage could tell me if I needed the limiter? (I'm new to cars, haha!) 10 minutes ago, Antonelson96 said: Stock 15 inch Escort Gti wheels suit fiesta's quite well sometimes.

I could find some wheels in that style. The other thing is I'm only 18 and my insurance is high. Will adding fancy wheels increase my insurance premiums?

Dan P Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 They do a whole load of colours http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/team-dynamics-alloy-wheels/team-dynamics-pro-race-1-2-alloy-wheels-set-of-4 Hopefully someone else on here will be able to advise you about a limiter - it's more to do with the width of wheel as you maintain a constant radius by reducing tyre size as you increase the rim size. Insurance companies vary, you'll just have to ask - my current insurer, AXA, allow aftermarket alloys up to a value of £1,000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have a look at those and see if they have anything I fancy! I'll also get in touch with my insurance company too. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
