Hey guys, I'm after a set of 16" steel wheels for my Focus, but I can't find any on Ebay and I've been into a Ford dealership, but they said they didn't have any.
Where else can you buy steel wheels from? I assume bob jane wouldn't sell steelies etc. I've busted a rim on the Focus and want to replace my 16" alloys with 16" steelies, as they're a lot stronger. I'm driving around on the space saver at the moment because my Falcon is out of action too, can't drive my Sierra legally because I haven't got my exemption yet lol. |

I got a set for track days, I found them on ebay for $100 with tyres decent tread. but I busted one on a pothole so they aren't indestructible.
You can also try a wreckers that my have a base model or two. Also try looking at Mazda 3 I'm pretty sure they have the same stud pattern |

If the stud pattern is 5 x 108 then try Volvo as well.

try the tyre shops... people often get new wheels and leave the old steelies at the tyre shop. i was at a tyre shop the other day and looked in the scrap scip out the back and it had several sets of stocko steel wheels in it, looked like commo and falcon but you never know your luck.
