Purpose and characteristics of the wheel rim

The presented aluminum wheel rim was developed as a component dedicated to the sports variant of the Ford, ensuring full compliance with the manufacturer's factory requirements. The rim construction is optimized for stiffness and stability, which translates into predictable vehicle behavior at higher speeds and during dynamic maneuvers. The grey finish blends well with both light and dark body paints, emphasizing the sporty yet understated character of the car.

Geometric parameters and vehicle handling

The rim features a factory-selected diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, and number of mounting points, which allows for maintaining the correct geometry of the running gear. A properly selected offset supports stability during braking and cornering, and the rim width allows for the installation of sports-profile tires, providing better grip. The bolt pattern and number of mounting holes are consistent with Ford's requirements, which facilitates installation and guarantees correct load transfer to the hub and suspension components.

Benefits of using an original Ford wheel rim

Using an original aluminum wheel rim on a Ford Focus Mk2 ST allows for maintaining the structural integrity of the vehicle, without the risk of improper wheel seating or unfavorable changes in track width. Factory fitment reduces the risk of vibrations, uneven tire wear, and excessive bearing load. The aluminum construction helps reduce unsprung mass, which positively affects suspension response and ride comfort, while simultaneously improving steering precision compared to heavier steel solutions.

Condition, application, and practical installation tips

The wheel rim is a used item, making it an attractive option for users looking for an original component on a reasonable budget while maintaining compliance with factory parameters. Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard inspection of the working surfaces, bolt seats, and the hub contact surface, as well as to balance the wheel after mounting the tire. Correct installation using the appropriate bolt tightening torque is crucial for the safety and durability of the entire running gear.
