Default Where to buy wheels?

Hey I am looking to buy some black rims for my vehicle for when I get it, and I was wondering where the best place to purchase them are?

I know little about fitting and sizing. I do know that I want to purchase 16" all black rims--but I do not like any on Discount Tire and Tirerack.

Ford Racing rims (which can be purchased via our member, FORDSVTPARTS, of Tousley Ford)?

Team Dynamic rims?

That was going to be my next question--which other vehicles share the same size rims as the Fiesta.

Those Ford Racing rims are sexy. Thanks!

the fiesta has a 4x108 bolt pattern... Depending on offset (how the wheel is mounted compared to where lug nuts bolt to the wheel) there are a lot of options...

offset should be between +45mm a couple mm's difference should be fine but nothing to drastic...

just do a google search for "4X108" and you'll find a lot of options are out there...

2000-11 Focus wheels fit the 2011-12 Fiesta. Revolt. Build. Rise.

Yeah what eRic wrote, the first part anyway. I really don't think a revolution is necessary. I thought about buying black 16" wheels from Tire Rack. I like the Sparcos and I was just going to tell them that they were for my son's 2002 Focus because I didn't want to pay for the TPMS but then I figured I'd be constantly staring at a low tire pressure icon so I might spring for the extra $180(?).

You might want to confirm this, but I've been reading some posts on other Ford forums that if you purchase Ford/Motorcraft TPMS sensors, there isn't any need to recalibrate them with a clicker or reset tool.

Maybe FORDSVTPARTS can chime in on that because I haven't found anything "official".

Anyone have any tips for buying wheels in Canada?

Probably not buying for a bit, but who knows what tax season will bring :P

I would love to support our forums, and try to do it whenever possible, but curious if anyone has seen reasonable prices in Canada? (Alberta) - Or if you guys still recommend our sponsors & shipping costs..

Thanks!

I purchased Ford Motorcraft sensors and a clicker for my wheels.
When new sensors are mounted, they must be retrained according to the official info that I found on google. http://www.fordtechservice.dealercon...Aid_102010.pdf
