Looking very good! I've always toyed with the idea of fitting XR5 18's (and front bumper) to my sedan, but felt for me the 17's were a better balance of handling and comfort. Those 18's do look damn nice though. Looking forward to more pics!

I always wondered whether there was a Focus ST/XR5 sedan market. Beautiful!

Looks good sumpPUMP. I just picked up a set of KU31's and new Xr5 rims myself ... and I live just up the road in Warnbro.... small world.

Car looks great with the rims on!

have always preferred the sedan greatly over the hatch on the focus. if the XR5 came in sedan I dare say I'd be driving one now (zetec sedan here)

i would almost have considered the Volvo S40 T5 over the XR5 for just this reason...

sumpPUMP - Great choice on the wheels, they really make the car look good.

The focus sedan looks better, but thats just me. The bonus of the S40 T5 is that its AWD.

Easy to do on a screen......

Quite a few mods there. Black headlights, lower sill on skirts/spoilers, delete door strips, delete fuel door! rear light chrome surround, XR5 rear fog lamp/reverse lamp, high lift spoiler with alloy struts.

Got the tyres delivered from Option1garage in QLD for $176/tyre (delivered to my door), so it should end up $194 /tyre to have them fitted. That is a good price form Tyre Power in Rocky. Last time I went for a quote on KU31's, the cheapest I could get was $240/tyre... hence why I went to QLD...

And yes I have an XR5, but I needed new rims for the KU36's I'll order soon for track days. I'm sick of screwing my road tyres on the track. I'm currently in the process of rubbing them back prior to painting them black.

I would be careful with those wheels on that car, you may find (maybe) that the wheels rub when you reach lock when turning the xr5 has a larger turning circle because of larger bump stops ;)
