Hello,
I'm new to the site and new to the Focus world.
I just got a white 4-door 08 SE 5-speed. Decent little car, but I need to do something to improve the looks. I really like the Drifz 517 (5 spoke) wheels. But I'm not sure what would be the best looking finish for a white sedan [???]

The 517 in silver or in bronze?

What about a black wheel with polished lip?

Let me know what you folks think!

Thanks
Marc

bronze, or black with silver lip.

WHITE ftw. and if not bronze. but white on white is hot!!

I've always thought white on white was tacky... But thats just my personal opinion. I think black with a polished lip would look great!

 

[hifi dream]

I'm defiantely leaning towards the bronze, but the black with a polished lip would look good too.

Are there good suggestions for a black with polished lip that's affordable?
(similar to the drifz bronze)

Thanks
Marc

The beauty of a white car is that just about any color (within reason) wheel looks good. The only color that can make it really look bad is the wrong shade of white (eg. a cool white on a warm white or the opposite. A white wheel would have to be the identical white of the car and that's often difficult to find.

You know what else has black wheels with silver lips?

Black w/ silver lips FTL..... Plus you just see em everywhere. Go with a bronze wheel. Thats hot.

I think EAP's would look teh SEX

I run bronze wheels on my white focus, and I get compliments constantly.

 

[jgustafson]

Bronze with gold lip if you can find it. lol But i would probably get gold

ive got a white 08 and im thinking about running bronze 17" rota slips.

Crome Focus 5 spoke SVT's would look real nice.

 

[08sesfocus]

the car has so much chrome on it as is im afraid chrome wheels would look a bit over the top

 

[hifi dream]

I agree, I was originally thinking chrome....now that I've looked at other options I'm leaning away from chrome.

Thanks for all the input!!

 

[08sesfocus]

no problem and welcome to the site

 

[hifi dream]

Cool, thanks!
BTW, what do you think about the Steeda SRI on the 08?

 

[08sesfocus]

i love it, it was a pain in the a#% to install but now that its in i couldn't be happier, the throttle response was noticably improved and well as low to midrange power, i would definetly recommend it.

 

[hifi dream]

Cool, thanks for the info!
