Hi all,

I am planning to purchase new alloy wheels for my year old Fiesta ZXi TDCi. It is clocked around 18K. Please suggest me some good alloy wheels and if possible with price.

Thanks...

What is the budget that you are looking at ?

I assume you are planning to go for 15". Set of 5 in HR/Plati/League should cost you 20-21k.

You can look at Aura also. They have quite a few nice designs even in 14".

195/55/R15 is the best size. Its the stock size for the Fiesta S

My Budget is around 20K. I am planning to go for 14" as the standard size of Fiesta TDCi. (Fiesta S has 15").

Is it not the default of Fiesta S ? Mine is Fiesta 1.4 TDCi which has 14". I am thinking of going for XM+..

Yes, I have seen some good designs at their site. I am exploring other options as well (like imported..)

Unlike EXi/ZXi, the Fiesta S comes with stock 15" alloys. 195/55 profile.

14" alloys are a lot cheaper than 15" ones. Plati set of 4 14" costs around 12k. Say 15k for a set of 5.

How is the quality of Plati? I read some horror stories about imported alloys...

I am planning to by fiesta zxi diesel. I asked the dealer what is the cost of the new alloys which comes in Fiesta S (195/55/R15).

Here is what he told me. The new alloys which are fitted in Fiesta S(195/55/R15) cannot be fitted on the diesel fiesta becuase there is a change in suspension.

Is that true? Is there a change in the suspension of Fiesta S?
Can I fit 15" on fiesta Zxi. Please let me know?

The suspensions on Fiesta S give her a stiffer ride to make the drive more dynamic. It should have nothing to do with the size of the rim. You should be able to fit a 15" on Fiesta ZXi with no trouble.
