After many months of agonising over wheel choice, then wheel colour and then wheel choice again, I finally made up my mind last month and got these, problem was there were 8x18 only.......so in true powartek fashion I bit the bullet and after some careful measuring and double checking and NO ARCH MODS at ALL there on. This car is lowered on eibach springs and is FULLY drivable and not just posing for the pics, having covered 20 odd miles today there is no scraping, anywhere and to top it off I get full lock both ways and can manover.

Wheel choice wont be everyones liking but I dont like to follow the trend of black wheels thats been with us for the past few years.

liking it matey, but would perhaps go an inch or two smaller on the diameter cause they look a bit big, would give it more of a really slag look.

But looking good mate, dont normally say that about fiestas, here are some pics I took at Knockhill a couple of weeks ago of a 600bhp fiesta, same shape as yours, enjoy

I did have 17s on b4, looked a litle lost in the arch TBH, the JWRC pics u put up mate are teh theme Im goin with, there are some monster fiestas out on the scene now, most of them running cosworth power and 4wd, as u can imagine thats going to be seriously fast in such a tiny car.

Handling has suffered a little since the 17s, may need to lower a litle bit more now too. As for keeping them clean.nightmare, within 10miles teh innder edge of the wheels was caked in poo.

Don't like silver and white tbh. Still very sexual wheels if not a little big.

I feel ford need to bring out a proper hot fiesta maybe one with a turbo. The is a blue 2l one near me with factory viper stripes on it. God how i love blasting past it!

wheels are not too big, there is still huge amounts of space in the arches too.

does need a dirty big engine thou.........who knows

Watch this Space :D

race the ST while u can mate, some serious development working on these cars atm and belive me they fly!
