Well I can't make sense of this because the wheels pictured earlier in this thread are exclusive to the ST Handling Pack only.
According to Ford they are not standard on any Puma.
There has to be an explanation for this...either your car does actually have the Handling Pack which also includes the black roof, or your wheels are different to the ones pictured in this thread.

EDIT.
When I made my post I hadnt noticed you had posted a photo of your car, so looking closely at it now your car has the standard ST alloy wheels, not the handling pack wheels.

Ah, at the risk of being sexist, I think wheels are mainly a boy thing! I just knew they were black!! I paid for the black roof separately, so no handling pack there. What are coil overs??

There's a lot of exclamation marks going on there. :o
You sound like my girlfriend whenever I ask her what kind of car it was...and she will reply with the likes of - a blue one. :lol:

I was a bit free with them I admit. But I'm not as bad as that, as I love cars - but the wheels are ....meh! My beloved is obsessed with them, says they make or break a car's looks. Maybe.

As far as wheels go I like them to have a nice but unfussy design...something that is reasonably easy to clean. I have never been a fan of multi spoke wheels for this reason.
I am also not keen on all black wheels, although depending on the colour of the car they can look ok.
The wheels that are exclusive to the ST Handling Pack look terrible in the picture. It looks like a wheel behind a wheel.
Maybe they will look better when seen in real life. :)

Coilovers are coil spring with the shocker in a single unit as opposed to separate parts 👍 not as nice to look at as a lovely set of alloys though 😉👍

As far as I know the coils in the handling pack are of a blue colour, what's the standard sprung ST Puma like,the Fiesta ST3 is a nightmare twitchy steering ie the car tramlines constantly, the damping is dreadful my last car was on 255/35/20 and wasn't the best but the fiesta takes it to another level on 205/40/18
