If you buy the Proper XR5T ones they wont fit cause they are too wide and they will scrub on the car. also the steering ratio on the XR5T is different so it will rub against your wheel arch....
You may have to get imitations.

I want some new alloys for my Focus as well but have no idea what I want yet. Zetec wheels would be nice but all the genuine stuff is so overpriced it's not worth it.
Any suggestions? |

I've seen images non-STs in the UK with these rims on them, the posts that accompany them state they purchased the rims from a ST owner. If you go to the Ford Australia website, and compare a CL and XR5 Specs, the track is the same. Also what the hell would steering ratio have to do with anything.

Those are the imitations. Don't know how much they cost to ship to Australia, something u would have to email the seller about. 495 pounds = around just over $1100 which is not too bad at all with tyres.

i say just find something aftermarket locally that you like MORE than the XR5T rims
 Alternatively you could always post in the WTF section of the XR5T forums. |

Compare turning circle figures on the spec sheet. The Fiesta XR4 has a similar issue.
