MadeByAlex. Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just picked up a set of mint condition genuine 2016 focus RS 19 inch wheels wrapped in 235/35 Michelin pilot super sport tires. Got them at a steal of a price from a lad I know who works in ford. Fitting them to my 2011 MK2 zetec s tdci tomorrow. Would yous be interested in a picture to see what they’re like?? No suspension mods.....yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeByAlex. Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Just had them balanced and I fitted them myself out on the driveway. No need for steering rack limiters as they don’t rub at all! What do yous think, Cheers lads 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Like that they suit it, rear wheels might look better with spacers and black centre caps would fit in better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 They look great but what's the ride quality like? I had 18s on my Focus for a couple of days and didn't like it all that much. Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be looking in to 15 mm spacers per side but it’s already flush with the Mudgard and might look odd sticking out past, top shout on the black center caps, they didn’t come with the wheels so I just threw my old ones on as they looked no good without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk Ride quality is actually not as bad as I thought it would be , the usual with a bigger wheel you can feel small pot holes and every stone way more then before. Steering feels heavier I don’t know if that’s normal but I like it because it feels like your driving the car if that makes sense. In in regards to the Michelin pilot super sport tires they seem sticky and on pebbley roads you can hear the pebbles flying off the wheel arch it’s like someone wrapped duct tape around the wheel and it’s annoying. Savage grip on corners and pulling off romping on her doesn’t spin half as much with traction control off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethro_Tull Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Looking good. How did your insurers react to fitting RS parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAIDER32 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I like the look, nice job. I always fancied getting my Zetec S 17" alloys sprayed in that newer Rock/Anthracite colour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
