Hi all, im interested in a new set of wheels and realy like the official ford oe mk2 rs multi spoke wheels offered in the satin/anthracite black by pumaspeed and various other sites. but these are 19inch and the st focus are 18inch, so what im asking is will the larger wheel reduce my accelleration speeds at lower speeds? also will these 19inch wheels fit my st arches fine??? all technical info welcome to help me make this decision cheers

They should go on ok azz, but might effect accelleration due to the larger size, I know my RS2000 feels quicker with the original 15s on rather than the 17" alloys i have fitted.

pumaspeed say this. Due to the wheel offset we advise the use of a hub-centric spacer on the front,on the rear we advise the use of the rear axle spacer kit. hmmm so to stick with good acceleration with the power i have keep 18inch, but what about when i get 260 upgrade would i notice 1 inch bigger wheel? also wouldnt my higher end be increased?? have youseen the mountune wheels for the st focus on the mountune store website?? theyve just added a pic of the mfitted to orange st and due to he large gaps in the spokes due to lack of spokes they dont look half as good as the rs wheels in black what you think?
