Thumbs up 09 Focus Wheels hard to find


I had a really hard time finding decent looking wheels for my 09 Focus LX.
It seems the euro sizing is not popular enough for most manufacturers. I finally scored a set of great wheels from Tempe Tyres in Sydney. They looked so good they asked to put my car up on the site. They are 225-40-18 and the matt black euro style spokes look tits and give the blue beast a real nuggety look. They did take some machining to fit though. $1450 with tyres.
This is NOT and advertisement, I just had such a hard time finding wheels that did not look like crap.

I had a lot of trouble initially too. I ended up just going with stock XR5 wheels. Certainly made the car look a whole lot better!

They definitely look better on your Focus than the pic they have there of them on the 380 lol

I hit a huge pot hole the other day which tore a chunk out of my front tyre sidewall. The Guys at Tempe replaced the tyre for only $100 since I had only just been there buying wheels! Good people. Those wheels look sick on your orange Focus dude. I was wondering how the red stripe ones looked.

yeah I gotta agree, Customer service is 2nd to none the team at Tempe tyres have always looked after me, that's why I keep going back

This is my 6th set of wheels from tempe and I have bought countless tyres from them over the years, last time I was there I was chatting to Anthony Mundine who was getting some tyres on his Tarago lol
