hey all, going up to the GC tomorrow to have these wheels fitted.
http://www.bsawheels.com.au/index.ph.../g2/g2-28.html the guys have recommended Nexen N6000. Does anyone know about these tyres, i've never heard of them and the tyre forums have mixed opinions???

And they are drilling them for me but from a blank rim as opposed to slotting a wheel with a different PCD. also everyone feel free to comment on the wheels!!!

They look freaking awesome buddy. I'm sure I don't have to ask to post them up, but please do! Great choice, I think with the Moondust Silver Fiesta it'll doo absolutely sweet.

Think of the ride though, looks are one thing, but the ride would be near appalling. Sometimes I think the 16" rims can be a little rough with the crap roads in Queensland. Would looks the tits though!

Mate, you better be at our next cruise because I want to get up close and personal to that sexy master peice of an automobile! Looks superb, definitely a hot set of rims fella. The Moondust Silver works extremely well with the black rims IMHO. Top job!

I haven't bought a Feesta yet but I am probably going to next week...the sales dude quoted some rediculous amount for the 17" factories....he said it needed spacers or something, I am not sure what he was on about.....did you just get these and bolt them on with no probs?

So to answer your question: Yes I just had a set of 17x7 wheels running 205/45/17 tyres bolted onto my car. the Factory 17's are bloody expensive and IMHO not worth the coin...
