Right, 2006 Fiesta ST, lowered 35mm on H&R springs/Bilsteins, slightly tatty looking standard wheels....I fancy a change, and figure something motorsport style would suit the car. The current wheels are pretty heavy and their style makes them look too big for the car from some angles...lighter wheels may show some handling benefit too.

I would be looking at 17s, probably anthracite as I feel it goes well with performance blue and would be easier to clean.

Here's the car as it is now:

And now for the wheels...

Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 (shadow isn't ideal I appreciate but hard to find them in anthracite)

Speedline Mamora

Speedline Turini (need to make these anthracite)

Compomotive MO1770

Compomotive MO1771

Currently favouring the Pro Race 1.2, admittedly common as muck (though not in anthracite) they're also the cheapest and lightest.

Compomotives are heavy and very expensive, and not sure they suit this car as well as they do most Fords!

Turinis still make me think Renault, though they're a classic and well made, whilst the Mamora is a new style but not sure how it would look.

All comments and suggestions welcome :)
 
Get the standard wheels refurbed, I cant see any of them making the car look anything better than it looks now.

The Fiesta ST is quite a nice looking hot hatch, "motorsport" styling does not belong here
 
6 Spoke MO's in anthracite. I see a mint blue zetec-s with them on every day and it looks very smart. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow and see if that helps. Pro Race 1.2's are common as muck on everything now, hell I had them 5 years ago at 18 on my VTR :p A great track wheel they may be, I wouldn't want them on a nice road car.

Just to add I think thats pants, motorsport styling only suits certain cars and IMO ST's are one of them
 
I have no 'shop skills but I think the Speedline Mamora or Compomotive MO1770 will look the best. If I still had mine i'd put the Mamora's (in white) on mine for sure :)

Pro Race 1.2 suit really well imo.

Thats not an ST is it? If it is then dont get the 1.2's! It makes the break discs look tiny. Comically tiny! Need something with a bit more 'spoke'.
