If you are looking for a set you can consider this design by Advanti - the 15th Anniversary model. It is available in Hyper black ( silver), gun metal or black. I am buying the silver, size 18" x 8" wide.  |

Yes, I'm getting it for the Forte. Offset 45 mm. Tyre size is 225/40 x 18" leftover from the ex-Pug. According to Uranus 17 x 7.5" would fit the Lynx RS, but the tyres should be 215 and the offset 42 mm. PCD is 114.3 for both cars.  |

After fitting the 18" wheels to the Forte I can then fit the original Forte 17" rim/tyre combo to the Lynx RS which needs new tyres. There won't be a problem with the PCD and offset. The only thing doubtful is the bore of the Forte alloy rims. Hope it fits. |

I prefer semi-solid forged...<7kg and gunmetal finish so that dirt gets camourflaged |

There sell the aluminum centre cones. I'm worried the Forte rim bore is too small to allow mounting. |

I will ask the guy to try fit first. I actually don't like 8" wide but there is no 18" x 7.5" for this design. I may opt for 17 x 7.5" by trading in the 18" tyres also. |

Ideally 195 wide tyre should use 6" rim. So 7.5" - 235, 8" - 245.
Sometime I really wonder why after market rims are made so wide....

I fitted the rim/tyre combo. Will post pics later. 235 is the ideal width for 8" wide rims, but 225 is still OK with the tyres a wee bit narrower. The tyres did not touch the fenders. Anyhow it looks nice. The Hyper Black (silver) is actually not silver. It is a lighter shade of gun metal and gloss finished. |

I much prefer the OEM dimensions like 16" x 6" (Suzuki Swift Sport, Lynx RS), 17" x 7" (Kia Forte) and 18" x 7" (Mitsubishi Lancer). |

Took back the original Forte rim/tyre combo to fix to the Lynx RS later. Btw, I've seen a picture on the net where the same rims were fitted on to a Golf GTi. Looks good. It means they should have a PCD to also suit a Focus. It should look good too. |
