I just received a set of New steelies from ebay seller "gapmety" for $49 each shipped for $46.54.
If anyone intrested just search "04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 FORD FOCUS RIM / WHEEL 15 INCH STEEL" or seller name. Its the best price I found besides tirerack. Now to order winter rubber...

oh and I also bought TMPS from ebay seller "666parts" for $44.98 free shipping. Search "4X Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor TPMS for Ford 9L3T1A180BB DE8T1A150AA TPMS12"

Its says for "04-11 focus and 11-13 FIESTA" so they should fit no problems. But if you want you can wait for me to put them on first before ordering.

I got my TPMS sensors in today from the same seller. It was about a $100 less than Tirerack so I figured I would order them.

Are those TPMS' confirmed to work with the FiST? Nice research, by the way.

This is the second set of sensors i bought from this vendor. They work fine on my Rota Grids. I have my michelin Xi2's wrapped on steelies with these sensors already just waiting for the temps to drop below a constant 45 to try them.

Oh okay cool, I was just curious. I think I'll just order them and give it a shot. Winter can happen any day around here as well.

Any issues with the sensors? I'm thinking about ordering the same ones.
Yes I cant get the light to stay off. I get all the honks for each wheel but when i start driving the tpms light keeps coming on.

Cool, thanks! Sorry about your luck. I went with the TireRack ones and bought a trigger tool too.

I ordered the same eBay TPMS from the same seller and also cannot get my car to recognize the sensors.
