Before they are on your car? I've been to a site where they have a pic of your car and you can put on whatever rims they sell. Personally I like black rims but with their software the black did not look good on my silver wagon.
Any suggestions, ideas or pics of rims on Foci would be appreciated.
I'm looking at 17x7 rims with 45 series tires. I went to 23 tire in mississauga but the more rims I saw the more confused I got.
Thanks

i recommend going to the 'members ride' section of this website and other focus specific sites like focaljet.com to view pictures of wheels on your color car
also, personally.. i like my wheels to be as close to the factory offset as possible and as light as possible.. i bet you if you exclude wheels that are heavier than your current wheels and far from the factory offset, you would eliminate most of the wheels on the market
offset and weight are key when choosing a wheel.. they are just as important as the diameter, width and bolt pattern

Ok, so I have narrowed my search finally. The rims I like are MSR style 138's but they are 7.5" wide. I have read the wheel and tire sticky thread but will this extra 1/2" or 12mm roughly cause the tires to rub the fenders?

I think you need to figure in the offset before you can definitively answer this question.
