Wheels for XR's

[GlennAUII]

I love those wheels! they suit those cars so well hey

They do - but I think it's the curvy EF/EL panels that go well with the curvy rims. I'm not sure they would look any good on the sharper paneled BAs - in fact I'm pretty sure they wouldn't - and they're only 16's. They make my plain Jane GLi look a little more bearable though

I have 19,s on both of mine only cause 20inch doesnt fit. I think bigger is better when it comes to wheels.

Anyhow, check out wheel finishes I've looked into for XR.

One word...............NICE!!!!!

I like the ideo of adding a shadow chrome finish to the wheel range. Even if you make it an option on the existing designs, or if there are new designs, the buyer can have the option of geting them in shadow chrome or standard. Would make for some interesting combinations!

.....how about a retro look like the Globe Bathurst rim that the HO 3 used at Bathurst in '72? Classic rim that one!

I like the idea of having that as an option, because some of the brighter colours shadow chrome wouldn't suit But on mercury silver, black, white etc it would

Yeah mate, exactly what I was looking for to put on my T3 ... and this is what I found ...

Suresh> as has been said it doesn't matter how many designs you have or different sizes there will always be some who don't like it. I understand the cost to Ford for producing several different optional wheels would be prohibitive. Aftermarket are always going to offer bigger range and cheaper prices because the costs can be spread over many many vehicles sharing the same stud patterns and offsets etc.

Now, the things I look for in a wheel are :-

1) ease of cleaning

2) hidden wheel studs

3) a rim lip (I hate spokes that finish flush at the rim because of the damage factor as well as the bad looks - it takes away from the appearance of the wheel being wide)

4) five spokes, but on a larger wheel seven spokes also looks OK.

Anyway here's my favourite wheels ...

Nice wheels turbo6man.

Hey does the piece that hides the stud clip or screw on?
