New old connect owner

[Cal1990]

88k from new 1 owner who was my mate

Got it for the grand sum of £1000



Washed and polished today at work

Plans so far are mondeo vents and handles inside ally ones

And a set of wheels but that's what I need help with. I have the choice of two sets st ones for 300

Or focus spec ones for 100 quid 4 good tyres and IMO they look nice on a connect!

Pics below




Focus wheels



I want connect to be nice outside and still drive able I do a lot of track roads and dirty as take my sons quad out at weekend so don't think 18s would be really practical

What size are the two options? personally everyone seems to go for the ST wheel and I like to be different but thats just me.

Focus are 16" and st are 18"

Yeah me too mate don't like to be a sheep

I had until recently a set of Borbet 16" similar to the Focus ones and looked good. Now have 18" Mondeo but just up sizing the tyres slightly to give a better ride as van now lowered.

That looks stunning in that photo mate! They are very similar to focus ones

Graham when I change to the mondo wheels can I use the steel wheel bolts/nuts whatever they are ? Or do I need to buy other ones

[Graham Taylor]

Buy new ones. Taper looks the same but recommendations are to change. Also found them a little shorter than the Mondeo nuts too.
