Hi

 

I am driving a 2006 Ford Focus, was thinking of upgrading my rims to 17" , however I am having some problem find a compatiable one. Focus PCD is 108 as compare to Japan car of 90-100. Been to a couple of workshop but no luck. Would like to seek some advise from the guru here where where can I fin 17" rim with PCD of 108. Thanks~!

tat pcs u can only get OZ rims.. momo... afew only

u can check out fordsg forum to enquire.

 

last time i tried 17" supperlegs. and the down size to 16"

 

17" is nice looking , more grip compare to 15-16".. but down side slower pickup due to friction. and less milage abt 50-100km

16" so far v nice compromise .

 

for best grip 17" and nice looking

 

for overall 16" , but mind u , it does look like 15" (canot compare grip to 17" alot difference)

Hi thanks! Is OZ & momo comes with PCD 108 compatiable? I having a hard time finding it. but I heard from one stamford tyre one of the staff told me. Using 16" is light but with 16" tyres, the weights comes about the same as 17". 17 rim is heavy but tyre are light. I wonder is this true.

Look for Volvo car owners when they traded in their existing ones for bigger sizes. My MSCP have a focus running on 17" volvo rims.

not true...

 

my 17" supperlegg... with tyre is much lighter than my 16" with tyre.. reason is tyre more weight.. the OZ supperlegg v light.

and use 2 finger to carry the 17 rim.

 

slow pick up is due to the amt of friction on wider tyres.

 

u can try YHI there to indent the rims... coz v seldom on market direct have.

my 17" is sold to an ipoh 2 litre focus.. drive down to buy one.

 

16" sold to a malay guy ... in sing.

 

momo think stamford can get.. but bear in mind.. momo nice looking but heavy.

 

### pls get a decent light wt one.. due to focus not v powerful,

 

------------------------

 

volve is for mark 2 version focus...

 

splash... u looking for 4x108 or 5x108? 4 or 5 holes..?

 

4x 108 hard to find, normally indent.

else 5x 108 ... easier.

I am driving the MKII, 5 x 108 is what I am looking for. I did check with YHI and they hv one which is Yokohama "CONNOISSEUR NO. 151C", it resemble the 2009 RS model rim which I am looking for, the sales quote me $600/piece (2.4k?)*saying yen increase etc..., Jap rim blah blah" I fell off my chair and don't intend to turn back to them given that kind of price, I rather go for bodykit with spare for I.C.E.

ok u made ur choice

 

do the bodykit

extra 50bhp

[Azarael]

ford focus quite weak torque, better get light rims...... 17 inch ! if u go for cheap heavy ones, performance and FC will suffer i think

[Furrynadz]

wat rubbish

 

all 1.6 same torque +/0 10nm

 

16 inch with lightweight rims and lightweight rubbers is the key

[Splash11]

 

Any recommendation?
