won these quite cheap on ebay (7x16'' O.Z ultraleggera's with 195/45 tyres on).

prefer them to my old 15's and they grip much better also.

yes i know it has massive arch gaps. i have no back seats as it makes trips to B&Q easier and i don't want to lower it because it will either go bang or get sold soon.

not sure, doesn't say on the alloy from what i can see. could only see the 7J stamp.

seems to handle better than the others.

took the 5mm spacers off the front and left them on the back.

might as well be a shopping trolley with the amount of stuff that gets loaded into the back of it

coilovers are over 400 quid and it seems pointless spending that money when i can put it towards a vx220 (hopefully).

My mk5 zetec-s had 122bhp standard and was imperial blue

edit - but didn't have air con

122 standard? pub talk rr figure i think. my cousin had a mk5 zs when i had my mk6 zs and they were neck and neck performance wise.

Imperial blue is lovely though, one of my favourite ford colours ever.

Only reason i bought these were because my old ones were on the markers and new tyres were more expensive then these alloys.

I have the RR to prove it
Was the highest output standard fiesta on the day.
Broster from here was there too.



mk6 is heavier and they had to start quoting 0-60 instead of 0-62 to make them appear quicker

And the mk6 has the same power as the mk5. Exactly the same in performance.

Maybe on paper but real world it isnt. As i said, my cousin owned one for years and i drove both as did she and we both agreed they are the same. Also been side by side and it was also the same then.
