Hey All,
My FEZ Zetec now has 40,000 K's on it. I have just changed 2 of the tyres. When I went in for the last service ford said all 4 rims were buckled. Had a tyre blowout when I hit a pothole the other night and have had to put the space saver spare on the back. Ive read a few posts about RIMS buckling on the Fiestas. Just wondering what I should do, do I get a used set off ebay, go through my insurance company or get el cheapo CSA Alloys from Beaurepaires? Id imagine Ford won't cover that sort of thing under warranty. I just find it strange that all 4 RIMS have buckled, I've never ever had the problem in any other car I have owned, although this is the first car I've had with low profile tyres. Cheers |

Yep unfortunately it seems to be a common problem. There seem to be a few sets of wheels out for them now, but they are nearly all expensive because of the size of tyre...
Goodluck |
