I believe the the focus 16" wheels that we have been seeing are originally from our family tree in the first place. 2nd generation Mercury Mystiques that is.
They had a machined finish on the Mystique but were changed to a painted silver finish for the focus. Then the was an "optional" finish for the focus that basically returned to the original machined variety the only difference being the center cap. I remember seeing them on the Mystique and thinking they were sharp. And then thinking I should keep and eye out at the salvage yards for wrecked Mystiques that could donate their wheels for me to use for a set of snow tires. Otherwise I might not have noticed fords clever cost saving plan. This is just My observation. I could be wrong? But I'm pretty damn sure.
IMHO they look even better on the focus. And also a tad better than the new 5 spoke 16" wheel they have to replace it.
