Well its another obnoxiously frequent F1onNBC ad break, so here's my Fiesta on its new winter wheels. Anybody know where I can find some nice Ford caps?
Edit: sorry if the photos are bad, no preview on mobile so I have no idea if I'm posting the correct ones.
I don't care about hubcaps, steelies look great, I just want to protect/cover up this:

Junkyard or craigslist?
I had these on the HHR for a while, made it look semi-decent.

Very nice. OEM hubcaps can be found on hubcaps.com

I like the look (and cost) of steelies, but I don't like how the middles are exposed. I want some caps to protect from rust. This somehow has already happened.

How do you like the ST? I'd been considering one but then I got the Dart through my job.
And perhaps previous gen Focus centercaps would fit?

I think steelies look better without hubcaps and they look best when painted .

Though at 60$ they cost almost as much as th wheels themselves.

I agree, I like them plain painted black as well, I just want a small center cap for the middle of the wheel.

It's amazing. The best (and only) car I've ever owned. My only complaint is the frankly horrible Sync/MyFordTouch system. I understand why some people are seeing.

If you're looking for 14", I think these foxbody bottle caps are pretty awesome

The fiesta would look like a rally car, lol

Cant tell if these would stay on.. Seems they may be just caps for an older rim with the built in hubcap and not the true hub cover that could slide into the steels itself. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-… or these may be it looks like all metal http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mondeo-FO… Doesn't have a good explanation of the product...

Those are on the normal wheels, they don't fit on the steelies.

I should do this to my ST.
I have already put 2 blemishes in my rear right wheel by touching curbs :|

Really, its your first car? Congrats! I also started off my auto owning career with a blue Ford, though it was 26 years older and considerably more truck like. My first new car was also a Ford, the Focus I just traded on the Dart. It's too bad you can't pick different infotainment systems for cars, like if you could option this with Chrysler's Uconnect or Kia's UVO. I love the Uconnect 8.4 in my car, even if it is a bit distracting.

Idk, it's the wheel hub itself and not the wheel so I'm not sure if that's good for it.

I think I have too. The thing is I dont even notice when it happens which makes me think it's my dad when he "borrows" it.

I was able to find center caps for mine like you described, but I had to go to the VW community to learn where to get them. In this case, they're non-USDM caps from a Tiguan. Had to special order them. They were expensive. It was totally worth it.
I'd try a Fiesta ST forum to see if anyone has figured out where to get them. I have to believe there's some Euro-spec cap for a basic Fiesta that would work perfectly.

wow, those are great looking. As much as I do want caps, if they cost more than the wheels its kind of pointless. I hope I can find a cheap set.
