Those are some of the skinniest tyres I've seen.

Looks good though.

Looks great! I think those rims are nice match with your car and starting to look apart compared to all the other Feistas on road.

OK,

So I lied to you all. I'm sorry.

I didn't really get new wheels. I didn't even plant to, as I didnt want to spend any money on this car. What was up there was a clever photoshop that I did to try to get an idea for what y'all thought of them if one day I ever did get wheels.

Anyways since posting that pic, I've had a stroke of luck. While I was in Bob Jane T mart yesterday looking for lancer wheels for my sisters Maria chapel cruiser, the guy asked me what car I drive. When I told him, he said he had wheels off a Focus that they used for an annual MOTOR mag tyre test or something. He said he had about 30 of the same wheel and that I could choose 4 of the best ones for $55 a wheel!!!! Cool, I thought, but at the same time was dubious about what crappy wheel he'd offer me for such a cheap price....

So anyways, he takes me out the back, opens the box and what do you know, poking out of the box are ROH "Strada". A beautiful 5 "twin spoke" wheel that is reminiscent of an Mercedes Benz AMG type wheel, Oh my god! Wow! I couldn't beleive it I'd never even seen them on a Fez before!!!



I agreed on them straight away, and now I'm waiting on special order Falken tyres to come in next week, otherwise they would have been fitted today, which I'm a bit dirty about, but ah wells. I wont photoshop another pic, ill just wait for the real pics, and post them up when they're on.

Merry christmas boys and girls,
-Dan

Danny not impressed. Lying to the whole forum :( lol joking. Well you fooled me and I don't care who knows it's. $55 a wheel you can't go wrong. Even if you don't like them later on you can always change them and get your money back (plus more I'm guessing). I want new rims on my car, but my whole family will skitz it at me because I just bought 17" MP3 rims. But enough about my dramas. Can't wait to see your fez with the rim's on it

Well, the strada's are on and shod with Falken Zien whatever rubber. They look the kootz so I'll get pics up when I can.

It finally looks a little more boyish.
