As most of you have seen I've fitted new wheels to the

Opinion has been divided on the subject but I prefer straight multi-spoke wheels over the snowflake standard ones.









The daytime pics were taken using my phone so apologies for the quality!

after seeing it in the flesh i think i works well and doesn't make it seem like you want to make it look like an rs but update and improve the look off your st.

I agree that multi-spoke wheels look the best and your car looking, at a glance, like an RS is no bad thing.

Ive always been a big fan of the snowflake wheels as they remind me of the lamborghini ones. However, the RS wheels look even better on a white ST!

Thanks for the postive comments guys. They were a lot cheaper than you would have expected (just to iterate, they are genuine RS).

I wouldn't want them black, never been a fan of dark coloured wheels.

I disliked all the s at FITP that had both alloys and an spoiler... why not just buy a damn ?

I understand the wheels in Daves case if he likes multispokes... but please god not a spoiler too

Same here, wheels are ok but not the spoiler

Do your wheels still say RS on?

IMO, the other styling bits are awful. I don't see the point in the spoiler, vents, black wing mirrors etc. I think I have the best that the new has to offer and that's all; the wheels. And yes I do have a preference for the multi-spokes

I don't think that they'll be able to spot the difference Micky... but don't tell 'em!

They're staying as they are, no change in colour at all. If anything I'm making my more subtle. I'd rather not shout from the rooftops and as always, less is certainly more!

And if I want an I'll go out tomorrow and order one from !!

I like the wheels Dave, they suit the car well, my local dealer has an ST500 Fiesta in with exactly the same alloys on but in a 17' fitting. He is giving buyers the option of the RS wheels or the standard black alloys.
