They are 17" Ford alloys that were available on the MP3 Focus.. They are as rare over here as hen's teeth but are probably the nicest wheels Ford made for the Focus!

You can get them from www.fordpartsuk.com

They are fairly expensive, I was lucky as the car came on them. One bit of advice I'll give is if you do get them, get 215/45R17 tyres fitted. The 215/40's don't look right, and give a very harsh ride. The extra sidewall of the 45 profiles gives that bit more cushioning and fills the arch a bit better.

Yeah, the ST170 wheels are probably the nicest wheel for the Focus. I just need something nice and chunky to hide my puny standard brakes :)
