Default Looking for ideas on wheels for LW Focus

I've got a 2013 LW Trend (Hatch) & am looking at putting some new wheels on the car. It currently has the 16" factory wheels.

Car is white in colour.

Anyone got any ideas ??

Thanks

Probably need more info, here. e.g. What are you trying to achieve? How much are you willing to spend? Do you want to move up in size to 17 or 18 inch wheels . . etc.

Be aware that there are restrictions to what you can replace your current wheels with, such as ensuring the new wheels do not exceed maximum rim, offset and track limits. A reputable tyre dealer would know what to fit. Then there is the grand-daddy of them all and they will stuff you up quite easily - your insurance company. Don't assume they'll be prepared to insure you after you changed your wheels even if everything is done correctly and legally. So check with them before you do anything.

Yeah I'm fully aware of registration & insurance issues.

Just seeing who's got what on their car because trolling through web sites seems to be just more of the same & I'm looking for something a bit different to the norm.

I put a set of 18s off a Titanium on my white LW Trend and they really suit the car and colour

Plenty of options with high end stuff, off the shelf suppliers of 5 x 108 PCD isn't plentiful and good to hear you are aware of limits. Call me a tight **** but I have two sets of Speedy Carbines which can be bought for 250 a wheel, and look good in my opinion. It is purely a individual thing.

I have to agree. Look very good on the car.
