Hi there, I am after a set of 15 inch wheels (steel/alloy/anything) to fit a Ford fiesta XR4. No tyres needed. I want to put race tyres on to do track days
I understand the LR focus is the same stud pattern as the fiesta ? 4x108 and 52 offset - unless someone can tell me otherwise. Pick up south east Queensland. thanks Paul |

I have a set of 16" 4x108 with barely road legal tyres. They fit a Fiesta happily but might be an inch larger than you would like. They're in Sydney though...

Thanks guys, but 15's only. I have a set of 15 inch race tyres, and as they cost about 1200 per set i want to put them to good use.
Cheers though |

i've also got a set of 16's (4 x 108). with used "race tyres" on them.
I used them about 12mnths ago down at wakefield park. the two fronts were new and are still pretty good but the backs were used when i got them so they're a little bit on the shagged side. Where are you from? lemme know if you're interested. *edit* sorry, didnt read your last post about already having tyres. i'm still willing to off load them if you or anyone's still interested.

Hey Mick, what size wheels are on your car?
I have 2 sets of 17 inch xr4 wheels. The set I will be offering for sale have done about 5000K (a few track days in there) but are 80% tred. One wheel a little bit scuffed, come with the 4 covers etc etc. I was going to sell them, hope to get about $1000, but if you have 15's perhaps we could do a deal? |

Talk about timing. Up until a week ago I DID have my OE 15's but alas they're gone to a good (hopefully) home now.

Have gone around QR before, but it will be interesting to see how it goes following the modifications.
I essentially raided the pumaspeed catalogue and got everything imported. Just getting the cams and performance pulley set installed on Tuesday so should be a load of fun. Although the best mod you can do is always suspension and sticky rubber. So mods done so far. KW coil overs ( sensational body control on the track - pretty harsh ride H&R front swaybar ( see above) all available suspension performance bushes ( noticed no difference) performace discs - (better brake cooling) mintex race pads - (noisy but great bite and pedal feel) braided brake lines - (perhaps better pedal feel) replaced fluid with penrite Sin complete millitek exhaust system ( seemed to reduce low end torque condsiderably- but top end was a bit better) k&n filter system (sounds great but negligable improvement) dreamscience flash tune (made the biggest difference to performance - cured the annoying idle/low speed problems) ridiculous expensive spark plugs and leads - (made no difference) fitted 15 inch wheels with yokohama advans (yet to test the stickyness but the ride is so much more comfortable)

Hi, I was reading your post and see that you have some wheels already, but I have some of the same size wheels but alloys if you were interested? They are in near perfect condition, and the wheel nuts and valves are still in their original packaging. I could deliver them as I live in Toowoomba for $75 a wheel delivered, cheers, Terry.
