Why when I called Rota dir3ct they told me they only come in black for our cars?....
I just looked for wheels that I knew would fit from a specification stand point. I know our bolt pattern, size, width, and offset. You can find scores of wheels that will fit the fiesta ST that don't turn up in searches specific for our cars.

Very nice, in reference to the eibach prolines, how is the ride compared to stock?

As good or better. It's a progressive rate spring where as the factory are linear. You get a little extra compliance with the eibach initially. It would probably work a lot better with some quality dampers but for the commuter factor they are ideal. I'm planning on a track day in the next few weeks so I'll know more then.

You're absolutely right. They are steel gray. My invoice just says silver. That's not direct from rota though.

I work in wheels and tires and I called them and he said that's l they make but online shows otherwise


I'm guessing the guy was just too lazy to look? I'd love a 17x8 for the stock tire in the polished. But guess that's not happening

I'm pleased with how it turned out. 215/40 tires ride awesomely
Would love to get your thoughts on the Riken Raptors, especially compared to the OEM Bridgestones.

Also just overall impressions of moving to the 17x8" with that tire size - I'm thinking about doing the same thing.

I'm not sold on them yet. They seem to squeal a bit. They stick...but I felt a lot more confidence in the Bridgestones. I am making an effort to let them wear in a little as tires with greater tread depth tend to squirm a little more than worn tires.

Easily my favorite wheel setup I've seen on a Fiesta. I was inches from buying these, but got a headache just thinking about cleaning them.... [dunno]
