ah right, i thought that 270notes for 17s were cheap! looked on ebay and all other 17s with tires were 400ish so went for it!!! think 270 is still good price didint realise they were that price from halfords tho, oh well!!
it needs lowering tho

The tyres halfords sell with their alloy packages are the worst of the worst

If you need a set of 4 budget tires for your existing 17" wheels it can be cheaper to buy the set of halfords weels and just ditch the rims

i was thinking of doing this but thought i wud get a betta job taking them off, for example u cant get to inside the wing at the door shut with it on the car so u are not doing it properly i my opinion, its all perfect now, more pics to come!!!

more pics then, put car back together need to let paint dry totally then i can rub few runs out and get it even shinyer!!!!
first pics are off the wing and how my painting on the left is actually shinyer and less orange peely than the ford painter bits!!!!!! i have not polished or anything my parts it just straight from the gun!!!!
next pics are off the car all put back together........... not bad the car has cost less than 3k now with the 17s, just need the engine ecu then its done!!!! so prob at most 3.5k for a 8 month old fiesta with 1.6k miles!!! bargin!
