And snow tires get pretty expensive for larger wheels, so I'd aim for 16s.FORDSVTPARTS wrote:As mentioned 15's won't fit but any 16-17" Focus wheels will and 16's are pretty easy to come by used.

yeah, I'm lookin for some 16"s.
Also, I've heard the saleen hood scoop for these was nothing but a mustang hood scoop for 99+. is this true? Or where can I order one? Hood just looks a little plain to me.
Near future mods are
16" wheels with snow tires
Hood scoop
Projector headlight possibly with HID's.
Short throw shifter
Tint tails
Possibly HID fog's

Oh and you can also use Cougar/Contour wheels, they share the same bolt pattern and similar offsets if you didn't know.

what do the cougar/contours offer for 16+? i the only 16" wheel for the contour was the svt ones, which means more $$
A friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, I said "No, but I want a regular banana later, so Yeah."

I think he was generalizing to save time by stating that basically any 16" wheel that fits a Contour or Cougar will also fit a Focus, he just didn't feel the need to specify "SVT Contour" and Cougar.Monkey-Gein wrote:what do the cougar/contours offer for 16+? i the only 16" wheel for the contour was the svt ones, which means more $$

I've noticed SVT Contour wheels can be had just as cheap as stock Focus wheels, just depends on where you find the best deal...
Pants too tight, wheels so bright!
