Anyone know if the 16" alloys from the Streetka will fit the Kat - quite like the look of them

Pumaspeed are selling 'em. Quite cheap too. So I'd say they are suitable. Give them a shout.

I'm sure they are the same off set and have 4 bolts so they should fit straight on to a kat. Was looking into the idea my self :wink:

Just got this from a KA website.

PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter, which translates into the number and distance from the centre of the stud holes and to the centre of the wheel. The Ka shares the same PCD as the Fiesta, Puma, and many other Ford models up to some Mondeos and Granadas: 4-108. This means that there are four studs, with a distance of 108mm from the centre of the stud hole to the centre of the wheel.

Will a Puma with StreetKA wheels become the Puma's evil twin? laugh.gif
They should look good though.

195/45/16 tyres have the same rolling diameter as the standard 195/55/r15 Puma tyres, this is why Tony has said this. You can not get a perfect match but the 16's are only 2% off the 15's

FRP wheels won't fit staright onto standard Puma hubs, if that's what you've got (unless you use spacers)

What about the Focus ST170 wheels, think they match the Puma well, and they do fit with small spacers, and I think you may get them cheaper.

and if you need a replacement you will always be waiting for a second hand one to be available.
Personally go with the ST170 wheels at least you can buy them new in the first place.. and not some refurbed kerbed jobbies.

They might possibly of done to keep the MP3 special? Allthough they are just 17 inch versions of some of the 15' alloys found on the new Fiesta

FYI the wheels on the FRP are MiM Brescias...might be worth seeing if you can get these in the correct offset to begin with and save on buying spacers...might even do them as 18s cool2.gif

You might try looking for a set of ST200 Mondeo wheels. They might be worth investigating as an alternative to the FRP wheels.

They look fairly similar.
