I'm in the same boat dude. i know someone on the buy sell trade forum that's selling all 4 of his (which i would buy if i had the money). not sure he's doing it seperate but it's worth a shot. jshbaseball's the name. Saw them in person, he said they were brand new and they sure did look brand new.

500+ for the w/tires (i think) i don't know what he's willing to do but like i said, it's worth a shot. btw they came off a 2010 ses if that helps

edit: he's trying to sell it all together to save up for a stanced look so that's why i don't think he'd part them.

If you can't work a deal out, don't forget your local salvage yards. My local one sells rims for $50 a piece.

I got a brand new 15 inch rim from a friend of mine who runs a wheel shop for a third of the list price, I could certainly cut you a deal. Post a pic of it?

Just so you're aware, last week I bought a set of the 17 inch rims from someone on this site via the buy/sell/trade forum, and I thought I'd warn you about the TPMS...since I just went through this.

The 2008-2009 Foci use the TPMS sensors that are attached via a long band. The 2010-2011 models use the TPMS sensors that are located at the valve stem. I, like you, have a 2011, and the wheels I bought (with TPMS sensors still attached) came from a 2008-2009. If you end up getting a rim from a 2008-2009 model which has the sensor attached, you will have to buy a new sensor for it separately, or else you are going to permanently have a "Tire Pressure Sensor/Monitor Fault" error go off on your display every 15 miles of driving. The yellow light will blink and then stay on. You will likely be able to pass inspection just fine without the TPMS sensor, but it's REALLY annoying, because it constantly blocks your entire odometer display until you hit "reset". I have tried EVERYTHING to try and make the 2008-2009 sensors work with my 2011, including contacting multiple shops and the dealer, and they just aren't compatible. Who would have guessed that the same body style car would have different TPMS sensors?

I've been told the 2008-2009 band-style sensors operate on a different frequency than the 2010-2011 valve stem sensors, which is why they won't work together. Really lame, but I thought I'd give you a heads up in case you run into this down the road. It's little more than an annoyance...but I have a BRAND NEW CAR. I hate seeing a dash light go off constantly when my car isn't even a year old.

Here's a link to my thread which explains everything (in case you want more info): http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=264129

Why don't you just have them refurbed?
