[lozz]

cheap set of alloys wanted -thatl fit a 406 d9,
not fussed about tyres,

and not fussy over condition ..just need a set as im Getting fed up with the wheel trims,
if anyone as a set going please let us know,, thanks,

[highlander]

I don't have any going, but check this complete set of 406 alloys on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alloy-Wheel-15-Pe ... 20b59f88c7

or these ones individually (they're all from the same seller, and are all the same type and colour, despite what the photos seem to hint at)

Also, make sure you declare them to your insurer; the buggers will ream you for it if you need to claim and they're not on your policy - or worse, in a "your fault" accident, they may refuse to pay out. You don't want to be in that situation.

I've still got a spare set of 16ins Hoggars. 2 with good tyres, 2 shot. Not in great condition - they seem to be notorious for bubbling up & kerb damage as I've yet to see a clean set anywhere - but here's what they look like:



Currently got 2 sets of these (1 set on car) & a set of 17ins Alessio Polars (no tyres) & can never decide whether to pay to get a set refurbed & can't decide which set to refurb.

If you're interested, make me an offer.

Fit Ford Center caps.
Goto look at offsets as I think the Focus is different, may need spacers?

[highlander]

I don't think those lions are on a cap, they're embossed on the alloy rim itself. Something to do with "centreless wheels".

They're the same wheels as are on my Coupe but being truthful I've never looked that closely at the Pug badge on 'em.

[HimBigChief]

Spacers won't work as Pug wheels will sit 10-20mm further out than your Ford rims. Hence you can fit Ford wheels with spacers to a Peugeot, but not vice versa. Up to you whether you give it a go or not, you could go for the VW look with the wheel level/protruding from the arch.

Would it be dangerous at all?

[highlander]

I imagine that they'd fit on to the Focus, and they'd be safe enough. Legality is another question - the wheels can't be protruding from the wheel arches at all.

The other bugger is that centreless alloys are supposedly more difficult to balance when fitting tyres to them; not all tyre shops can do it. It's a shame because the Hoggars are such nice looking wheels.

[waue1978]

The lion is embossed into the wheel & the offset would push them way out. Fords usually have an offset of over 30mm, but the Hoggars are a 12mm offset. If you look at pics of my car with the steels & the alloys, you'll see how much of a wider stance it gives.
