I started out with the 17's, but now have the 18's. I like the 18's better for the look. They can be a pain to clean and am a bit worried about the cost if I have to replace the rubber. :spoton: Some aftermarket jobs look good, but for me factory it is.

Wheels:

As long as the base wheel size is 17" Im happy, not interested in bigger. Definitely not interested in 19". Have another 1 or 2 possible factory designs to choose from would be nice, maybe a polished 17" would be a nice option.

I like Simmons wheels the most and like the polished look. 5 spokes are best.

Gday Suresh and welcome!

I like the 17s on the XRs and think they look nice and suit the car well. The 18s are great looking too but I would never consider them due to cost of rubber.

Looking forward to the fresh updated rims on the BA2. Keep up the good work.

I like the GT-P rims heaps,

I also reckon a 6 spoke flat look rim would look sweet! Also have you seen the ones off the clubsport R8? I love them ones, very similar to the ROH fury. :spoton: Welcome!

My 'T' is due next month and I plan to immediatly replace the XR 17' with BA Luxury Sports 17'. IMO the polished alloy is a great look.

Ditto. Replacement tyres on 18's+ are too expensive. A greater range/choice would be nice to be able to diiferentiate my car from the 10,000 other XR's on the road. Love Simmons rims.

I love my factory 18".

Best looking factory wheel I can recall IMO.

I find them easy to clean.

Love 'em!

I like the EF XR8 rims, but I don't reckon they'd suit the BA too well

The factory 18's look sensational... once again however tyres are pretty dear. The GT rims are also very nice... although I recall there being another set of rims for the GT - a polished looking one with around 6 or 7 spokes... they look really crap imo. I'm glad I haven't seen them often.

For future models, something fresh and new will be good - and simple. Offering an alternative choice of wheels from factory I believe is a pretty good idea.
