hi,
I want to buy a set of wheel trims for a friends birthday present.
Her car is a 2007 fiesta.
how do I know what size to buy? Obviously I don't want to ask her...
Is there a website / chart anywhere?
thanks in advance

I'll go with an educated guess that you'll need 15 inch ones since that model of Fiesta has 15 inch steel wheels.0

If you want to be double sure sneak a look at the tyres but if Angry Fanboy knows what he is talking about (and I have no reason to suspect otherwise) then 15" sounds about right.What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?0

If you do decide to take a look at the tyres to find the right size, and just incase you aren't sure what to look for (I realise this may be like teaching my grandma to suck eggs) the way to find out the size you need is as follows:
The tyres will all have a set of numbers printed on them. For 15" Fiestas I think it will be something like 195/50/R15
It's the last number that tells you the size of the wheel the tyre is fitted to. If it says 15 as I think it will then it's 15" wheel trims. If it's any other number then you'll need to buy the same sized wheel trims as that number.
Hope that's clear enough!0 -
I just hope they are indeed 15 inch now!
If they're too big you could always get some sandpaper and rub the edges down a bit...

OP you shouldnt be buying wheel trims of any size until you have checked the size of wheels on the car.
Of course anyone on here can take an educated guess but they may be wrong:(
Looking on honest john fiestas of that age could have 14", 15" or 16" wheels on although 16" will be alloys0 -
