Ford Fiesta - Alloy Wheels

[dish]

Hi,

Planning to change to Alloy Wheels for my 6 month old Platinum Colour Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi ZXi. Budget ~ Rs. 15 K. Want to retain standard 14' wheel size and OEM tyres MRF ZVTS 175/65R tubeless tyres.

Want assistance with the following information

1. Best Make - Indian and Imported.
2. Best suited Finish - Painted Silver, Hyper Silver, Black Machined, Hi Tone Machined, Chrome, any other ? Which has the best ease of maintanence
3. PCD and Offset for Ford Fiesta
4. Alloy wheel dealer in Bangalore. Any feedback on Car N Style off JC Road ?

Plan to buy in the next 4-5 days.

So why are you not going for the original equipment alloys used on the SXI especially if you are sticking to 14 inchers?

[dish]

OE alloys look terrible ..... and overpriced at Rs 20 K for 4 Nos.

well i have a ford feasta 1.6 SXI n da present size of tyres is 175/65/R14 with alloy wheels.so iam thinking of putting 16inch alloys n tyre size 205/45/R16 so is going to give me good handling n good ride plz help me out with this..........

@ronick - check that it won't foul with the body.
Also, it will give a good handling but ride will be BAD!

Ford has changed the alloys that come with the sxi since March. They look good, according to me---you can take a look at my car. Only drawback is that they cost 22.3 K for a set of 4. They are made by Hindalco.

if you want to retain the stock tires you would need to go with R14 rims and your choice is limited.

I recently upgraded my rims and went Plati, it cost me 18 k in all for a set of five - 16.5 k for the alloys - ~1k for special wheel nuts - .5k for fitting and wheel balancing.

[ronick]

so what about going for 15 inch tyres 195/55R15 n 15 inch alloys for ford fiesta.so is it going to give me good handling n good ride too......

[Wolffe]

15" will look good,handle better.Ride quality will take a hit.Best to stick to 14"-quite a lot of choices are available for alloys.

[Wolffe]

I own a Fiesta as well.I upgraded my tires from MRF to Bridgestone Potenza GIII - 185/60/14.The ride & handling are good though a bit noisy.Am looking for alloys as well.Will keep you posted.
