I am looking at getting some new shoes for my AU2 XR8 ute.
I have been looking at the following wheels: FG XR6 Turbo 19" Premium Wheels FG G6E Turbo 19" Upgrade Wheels What else do you think works? BTW, the car is dark blue. I have been lookin at Rota wheels (te37 copies) which. Are 18x18.5 front with +30 offset and 18x9.5 rear with +38 offset. My only concern is that they will be too wide on the rear and will rub when I am towing? |

Personally I like the G6E Turbo 19" ones. I was going to put them on my old AU Fairmont before I decided to sell it. If you ask nicely, somebody might do a photoshop for you. :P

Well, if your ute is hanging round the city streets, get the bling.
But outside the coastal cities, stick with stock ute wheels. Imagine getting a specialty tyre out at Mildura or Longreach or somewhere like that. It'd come by special order eventually, after you've spent a night or two in a motel. |

The ute is a city car
I have just taken a liking to FG XR8 18" rims. A photoshop would be awesome for the 3 sets of Ford wheels, would you prefer a side on pic of my ute?

Wow, those wheels look awesome on the AU but think it might take the sportiness away from the XR8, to me they will make it look more classy . . .

I'm a big fan of 5 spoke Tickford rims.
I've noted for a long time though, that I like a car to look stock. Having said that, my second option to Tickford would be other rims from the Ford range in 5 spoke form. In my mind, they (5 spoke rims) just look "right". GK

G'day all, Ba ghia thin spokes like Dansedgli had on his ute a little while ago- cost effective, attractive factory look, would suit my galaxy blue futura nicely. There are heaps of rims that would look hot on an Au, those earlier examples are a falcon lover's wet dream lol
cheers,Maka

The au rebel wheels are one of my favorites, and its a bloody shame they didn't make them to clear brembos.
