Hi Jake

Welcome!

What wheels have you got at the moment? The 15s?

How about looking on ebay for some used fiesta 16" alloys and maybe look at getting them refurbished and powder coated?

For the lowering I'd recommend the Eibach lowering spring, they lower it by 30/35mm and are Ford approved

i have the same rims which are on the car at the bottom of your posts. but really want black rims...i have just bought a flush boot for my car also so mods are starting to happen finally !
i have 17x9 black pro race 1.2 rims for sale at the moment. brand new never used still in same box. had them for a race car but decided to use bigger rims, if anyone is interested let me know !!

Rather than buying new wheels the same size at yours, why not get them powder coated then

Will work out a hell of a lot cheaper!

how much would it be aprox?

Depends on a few things

Whether they take the wheels off for you

Whether they take the tyres off for you and replace and rebalance after

Whether you have to get them couriered

I paid £35 a wheel for refurb and powder coat

Then £10 a wheel for tyres on/off & rebalance

Got them powder coated rather than sprayed as it's more hardwearing

Just do some research and speak to people in your area who've had it done or might know someone

My local mechanic and local bodyshop recommended me mine
