MADF6 Member 399 Member For: 17y 3m 20d Posted 19/01/09 09:20 PM Author Share Posted 19/01/09 09:20 PM Thanks 'guesswho'! Much appreciated and exactly what I was after...Yeah, I'm thinking of staying with my current 19" that came with it (in post 8 from smicky). The black look nice especially on bionic but on black I think they look a little boy racer, and I figure if I'm not 100% set on getting them then don't because at 1K per rim (no incl. rubber) their not cheap. The silver rims seem to suit it a little more IMO.Thanks guys.

Mist Member 54 Member For: 18y 9m 28d Posted 20/01/09 09:09 AM Share Posted 20/01/09 09:09 AM Just to make things worse... what were the other ones out of interest?As Russ said those are the stock 18" rims for older typhoons. I have them on my BA2 phoon and personally I think they look better than both the 19" Dark Argents and the similar but slightly stock 19" wheels on the BF2...But each to their own Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53453-silhouette-fpv-f6-bfii-with-dark-agents/page/3/#findComment-806531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically just blacked out the standard rims. Which one do you prefer?Picture 1 - StandardPicture 2 - Blackened Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53453-silhouette-fpv-f6-bfii-with-dark-agents/page/3/#findComment-809231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIRO F6 Member 1,817 Member For: 16y 3m 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane, QLD Posted 24/01/09 12:00 AM Share Posted 24/01/09 12:00 AM IMO there's no way the older 18's look better then the new 19inch Argents.One question though, can anyone suggest a place where I can get the chrome centre caps on the Argents powder coated to match the wheel's? Preferably in QLD. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53453-silhouette-fpv-f6-bfii-with-dark-agents/page/3/#findComment-809249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
