Had to put my “winters ” (all seasons) on my OEM rims. Not a big fan of the look. But the COFL treasury is running low. I want Sparco Terras (16 inch) for my all seasons next year.

I have one winter left in the GMax AS-03's so there is no sense dropping down a rim and therefore tire size.

This will be my first winter with my FiST. Trying to find a random set of cheap 16' OEM wheels that will fit on the car with winter tires. Dont want to put steelies on if I don’t have to without spending a shit ton.

Speaking of winters, I plan to throw on my Blizzaks in November. That’s when I’m going to also do the oil change.

I’m expecting winter this year to be a bit more random.

Good luck! If you wanted OEM 17's you could have mine after this winter. (We don't really get much winter)

Thanks tho, just like the ease of having 2 separate sets. Plus taller sidewall and slightly skinnier tire is better for snow

I'd love to just get a play-by-play repeat of last year

15" wheels will fit on your Fiesta ST, and I think someone else on here does that. You get a real sidewall that will give you a better ride and won’t be as fragile. The Sparco Terra is available in the 15" size for your car

The ST wheel downsizer on here uses 205/50-15, although Tire Rack recommends 205/55-15. Both meet the minimum load rating, but the 50 has a wider tire selection

If you go with 205/55-15, the best bet seem to be this winter tire.
If you choose 205/50-15, get the Vredestein Quatrac 5 with the TR tire/wheel package

Here is a pic of the Sparco Terra and a pic of the Alutec Grip, both 15"

I use the factory steelies and hubcaps that came with my car for my winters. My summers are mounted on the ‘98 Ford Escort alloys I use. :)

 Yes. I'll dig you out of your driveway if necessary. 

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > CarsofFortLangley - Oppo Forever 10/09/2019 at 21:28

Now that I have aftermarket wheels I can put winters on my stock wheels. I’m excited to not have ugly Sport Edition wheels.

As nasty looking as steelies are, I ended up happy to have them. With potholes and such, I'd rather have a cheaply repairable wheel than crack alloys. Imho

Hmm, I'll look into it! We don't really get "winter" just cold/wet.

we get lots of ice, just not snow.

true.  But its contact patch/rubber material more than sidewall width that matters here
