I hope they make an RPF1 that fits this thing.

I think I may have found a solution that might work? (timo, please feel free to offer your input)
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 Lightweight Wheel

I have been emailing an employee and the 18x8 wheel weighs 20.9 lbs, has a 50mm offset, and a 73mm center bore but they can provide a ring to match the 63mm center bore that the stock wheel has. Would this work for the st or would it affect the steering, etc?

I was able to configure a set of 18s to the exact specs?

Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2
Selected options:

select: 8.0 x 18
select: Anthracite Grey
select: 55mm
select: 5x108
select bore: 63mm
Edit options
$253.50 x = $1,014.00

That's interesting miklopolis. I have been corresponding with a sponsor over at the focus forum focaljet. He has been really helpful and here is what I have found out so far:

The wheels can be ordered in 18x8 but the maximum offset available is 53mm. For what it's worth, 53mm is also listed as the max on the team dynamics website (Team Dynamics Racing). He did say he would look into 55et availability but I'm fine with ordering 53.

The 1.2 wheel can possibly be ordered without the 'team dynamics motorsport' stamp on the lip of the wheel. It's known as the 1.2s and he is looking into this as well for me.

Here is what I've been quoted so far:
"Yes, you can order a set of 18x8/5x108/offset choice with hubcentric bore wheels. Price is $231.95 each/$927.80 per set + shipping."
add $10 per wheel if you do not want the engraving (this has not been confirmed-still in the works).

If we get a group purchase going the price should lower significantly based on this thread I found in a google search:
Team Dynamics Pro Race Super Buy

I will keep you all updated when I find out more info. For the record I have no affiliation to either company or team dynamics. I just want to find the lowest weight wheel for my future st and use the stock wheels for winter tires.

This site is helpful in picturing how certain offsets, tires etc.. will differ from the stock rims. I used to have a Volvo 850 T-5 and the wheels are the same 5x108 pattern. Unfortunately they are only 16" so I am thinking they won't clear the brakes, was hoping to use them as winter wheels.

I hope 16s clear! I have a set of snows mounted up for my titanium Focus that I was planning on using on the ST.

16s might be real tight! I hear they are still finalizing the brake package though, so I'm not sure if the brake rotor size is the same as from the spec page here in another thread:
Front: 320x25mm discs, 57mm wheel cylinder diameter
Rear: 271x11mm discs, 37mm wheel cylinder diameter

Edit: Browsing around other forums, looks like some people were fitting certain 16" wheels on their BMW M3s with their larger 325 mm rotors (there was talk about shaving the rotor though ). Lots of people have fit 16s over the MazdaSpeed3s 320mm brakes too. So depending on the wheel shape and the STs caliper size, they may just fit.

I suspect this will be a matter of model, width, and offset for the 16's. Team Dynamics has a set of ProForged 19.5's that are specifically made for Focus RS owners. I will make an inquiry and see if/at what offset the Pro Race 1.2 in 16x7 will clear the Euro ST's brake package. I know the Pro Race 1.2 in 16x7/45et clears the Focus SVT brakes which are 299mm. Will see if TD has some insight.
