a full set of 19" OZ Super Turismo GT's in racing silver for the st.

OZ say they will fit - so heres hoping. Should have them on wednesday, will get some pics up

Those are my favourite alloys in the world.

Can't wait to see pics of them on the car, 19" too. Who can say no to 19inches!

horrid alloys imo.
will no doubt look ok on your car tho as they are pretty much the same as the st220 alloys.

Wayn0r · 28 Jan 2006 at 22:05

yea thats the reason i went for them, most of the others i saw would show too much of the 'smaller than you would expect' calipers.

+ they wont be as bad to keep clean seein as they are near anthractite colour

Morba · 28 Jan 2006 at 22:16

thats a bonus, my main hatred for the alloys is from owning a set myself, tho they were normal colour.... well, they were when they were bought and about twice after that, be damned if i was going to spend all that time just cleaning the alloys!!

for those who dont know what they are

Sounds good but can't help wondering why given they are pretty much identical to the standard wheels, I'd have either not bothered or gone for something different.

Morba · 29 Jan 2006 at 02:13

because they are 19's, st220 is 18's?

also, even tho they are like the st220 and the focus st alloys, people appreciate them more on the given car.
i always got comments about my supert's where as others with st170 alloys didnt (even the st owners complimented me on them!)

thanks frostie didnt think to post that.

And my 4 std ones fox need refurbishing and these are more of an investment so i can just stick em on whatever new car i get if theyre the same fitting

If your car doesn't need cleaning now, come do mine instead. It hasn't been done since ~September

I agree, I dont understand why people would want to change the wheels on the ST170 either, personal taste I suppose, but the standards looks so nice.

Wayn0r · 29 Jan 2006 at 18:08

sorry 6th, im all outta tech wax :x

and its probably because they define the car a little more, theyre slightly bigger + it would probably cost a lot more for oem wheels from ford + tyres.

[TW]Fox · 29 Jan 2006 at 18:16

it will still rubbish cos its a mondeo lol omg how bland

Ev0 · 29 Jan 2006 at 19:44

Imagine they are lighter than standard as well.
