Have to say, tough choice between the fiesta st wheels and the oz ones, marginally i'd go for the oz ones

OZ cos it's a lighter wheel (I am assuming its a lighter wheel than the others)
Style wise they're all pretty much the same.

I've voted for the standard ST ones, but ultimately I think either those or the OZ ones will look good - ultimately its up to you which ones you prefer!!

yeh id say they're all very much the same 'camp' but the oz's do look 'lighter'. is there a significant diff' in price? Can you not photoshop on some oz's so as u can compare with the orig' ST150's?

Baring in mind the ones were specially designed to go on the Fiesta and perfectly balanced... i would go for those.

I had aftermarket BK Racing on mine... my tyres were like rubber bands but they cost me a fortune. Glad to be back to 15"... less hastle

Standard for me, i think they look really nice and suit the car. OZ is too Nova to me, always will be.

Before i post... yes the Focus has OZ, but they were specially designed with aid of

I have to say that out of all after market wheel companies the only ones i'd consider are BBS and OZ, i think theyre wheels are designed to be functional and aid performance (and look good because of it) whereas a lot of other wheel manufacturers design wheels cheaply that will appeal to boy racers or rappers!, hope you can see my logic there!

I'd get the OZ or the ford ones btw

Quick photoshop...not the best quality but you get the idea...

Although they look better in real life, rather than this pic

ST wheels or Silver OZ superturismo's, Chris.

I can't quite see how O.Z's are too Nova, since they've been in motorsport since god knows, and Ford have been using them in rallying for well over a decade. They are not a case of form over function, like most other non-motorsport related wheel manufacturers, and hence it's this which makes them my choice, not how popular they are with the modding scene.

Oh..And the O.Z's difference in weight to the ST wheels are negligiable. I certainly didn't notice any when i picked each up at the same time.
