Rims for the new ST

Hey guys. I'm new here and picking up my ST on Monday. I want to buy an extra set of rims for the car and stock winter tires so I can switch the summer performance tires that come stock. Are there older rims from older gen Foci that I can pick up that will fit the new ST? 17 or 18 in rims? I know it's a dumb question, but believe me when I say that it's been tough finding an answer online. I am only asking because I don't want to spend a crap load of cash on rims that will be only on the car 4 months out of the year. Can you guys point me in the right direction because I am looking at used rims to purchase. Cheers

The 2000-2011 Focus was a four lug wheel, the 2012+ is a five lug.

Ford has a couple wheels that would work, 16" steelies are under $100.00 each from me.

I would think so. I think a range rover wheel fits on the new focus as well. Correct me if I'm wronge.

The Range Rover wheels found on jholso's 2012 Focus are 5x120. He used a custom set of wheel adapters.

FYI, those Range Rover wheels are made by Rimstock,Plc...the parent company for Team Dynamics ;) .

2012+ Focus uses 5x108 wheels.

Depends on the exact tire and size that you want but I think about $100.00 a tire for Dunlop Graspics.

Al is still down in Hastings, I don't know if he's still in the place you remember though.

Fusion wheels fit the new focus. Also try 99-05 taurus wheels,off set may be a tad off.
