Started my search for new rims for the XR5. Having trouble locating pics of MA Mondeo's with aftermarket rims. But I have come across this one which I quite like. And it looks like the same color as mine and this looks to be lowered a little unlike mine
I need new tyres, so I figure maybe I'll spend the extra and go to an aftermarket rim with some dish. Painted centre maybe. Most of what I have found are 19x8.5 If any knows of a place where I can look at mondeo's wth different rims, can you please post up a link. Any idea's on nice rims too would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

I do too. I think they compliment the lines of the car.

Bucknaked...those rims are awesome.
The standard MB XR5 wheels look ugly IMHO. And with those low profile 40s there is no forgiving even a light touch of a gutter when parking (3 down, 1 still good). And the OEM Contis @ $400 each would easily pay for a wheel/tyre combo that looks classy and with decent tyres (Yokohamas, Pirelli, Falken, B'stone....). See also : http://www.jaxquickfit.com.au/wheels and Bridgestone Select claim to have a Wheel Style modeller thingy to see what your selection would look like on your own car, just need to visit your local store |

Thanks Allan. I'll check that out. Someone also pointed out to me that these rims are the same or very similar to whats an M5. Did see one this morning with these style of rims. Looks very similar.
Haven't decided on tyres yet. Going to see what I can get in a package. I don't mind the factory rims. I'm not a fan of the rims on the MB, but the MA rims are ok. Think they are on the titanium model on the MC range. |

I love that!!! How come your Zetec has pipes straight out the back, is that factory? My MC Zetec has the ones dumping down before the bumper, I thought it was the Titanium that had them sticking out the back.

Ahh that's what it would be because yeah, mine's a late 2010 build, 2.3L with the 6speed auto but no powershift.
