Hello everyone! I need this forums help on researching and finding a wheel choice for our shop fiesta!! Its bee about 8 months since it last hit the road due to being so damn busy in the shop but it will be back on Daily driver status soon!! With that said i want to get a set of wheels!

I am so busy i cant spend the proper time to research who sells what and what are the most up to date options! I would love a picture of said wheel and a link to purchase to that i can just look in this thread at the options! My car is Oxford white so if i dont have to coat new wheels thats a plus. I prefer 15" or 16" wheel look

Thank you for your help!!!

Russ

These are going to be my next set of wheels. Wish they were a little wider but 7" is ok for a daily.
OZ ultraleggera 15x7 $199 each on tire rack. 12lbs a wheel! Great choice for lightweight performance and look good

I second a set of Team Dynamics. 15x8 relatively light weight and they look good.

sounds like a good excuse to spearhead a 4x100 or 5x114 lug conversion kit

4x100 conversion is cheap and not hard to do and now you can buy a jig to drill the hubs on the car, brakes you can do on a drill press, super easy now.

15x8 6UL, roll formed so very strong strong, +36mm offset, 11.4 lbs, will fit a wider tire better, just $159 each.

They are also made in 7, 9, 10 and 11" wide versions, 11's are in the 14lb range so you can run really wide slicks for all that power you will be or are now making:)

I have 15x8 6ul for my all season tires with my DIY 11.75" BBK I just finalized yesterday, a company will be offering the brake setup soon.

I run 15x9 Konig Helix, 13.4 lbs, roll formed, $1240 shipped for 10 wheels! I use them front and rear for summer tires and race tires but the rears require a camber change to fit, for drag racing you do not need that wide a rear setup of course.

I might order a set of 15x10 front and 15x9 rear 6UL for my track wheels next.

Rota RB 15x7 +30 Offset
$515.00 for a set off of 18racing.com
I was going to get them this year but my wife is pregnant with our second child so I gotta hold off till next year. I've only seen one other Fiesta with these wheels and it was the GRM B-spec fiesta they were going to race.
I love the minilite style of wheels. Those CCW's are gorgeous.

These are my 16x7.5 Sport Edition SE-17s. (18lbs) and they were less than $100 per wheel

Being creative is going to 4x100, very few good options in 4x108;)

If you want 15x8 Team Dynamics are it unless custom wheels, a bit over 15lbs each, not sure how much weight will effect drag racing but road racing, autocross, street, it effects every aspect of performance including ride.


There are some 7's that are decent weight and cost but that will hinder how wide a tire you can run though with drag slicks they might be fine on narrow wheels and still pretty wide tread, not my area of expertise.

------------

16x8, Rota Slipstreams, not my favorite style, weight and not the strongest wheels made but decent overall.

16x7 Konig made Maxxim winner in the 16+ lb range, good quality, usually found for under $100 each.

--------------

4x15.xx lbs, 60+ lbs
4x11.4 lbs, 45.2 lbs

How much time will 15-16lbs of rotational, unsprung weight cost in the qtr mile?
