A guy had some in the show us ya BA thread, they were 18's though and the dish sorta looked polished. They were definately impuls though, he got them from tempe. Mines got the shadow centres, i've seen them in full chrome and i thought they looked a bit tacky.

I think the BFTyphoon Rims , the Shadow Grey Ones , 5 spoke are MINT , $4000 for a Set!

: sorry mate, you have a fine vehicle, don't do it to her.

The velvets look good though.

Force rims do nothing for me, not wide enough at the back importantly and the face is too flat.

b2tf · 20-01-2007, 12:13 PM

I love the new Typhoon rims (the 18's), but they wouldnt look any good on anything other than a Typhoon. The FPV 19's I find a bit meh, they look great on FPV's but if they were an aftermarket rim youd probably look straight past them.

I want new rims too and have looked at heaps but I just keep comnig back to T3 rims, so thats what Ill more than likely get.

ClassicAU · 20-01-2007, 05:23 PM

I do love the T3 rims too, dont get me wrong, but i also love the shine on my S1 XR 17's as well. I dont think the T3 rims have the same finish. Is there another set of Ford wheels, preferably in 18", that has the same finish as the AU1 XR rims?

Bucknaked · 20-01-2007, 05:32 PM

Arn't the rims on the Force the same as the ones on the 19's on theTyphoon, except they arn't dark in colour?

I'm with you BD. I don't like them. They are plain and boring. Kinda a bit like the Force it's self.

I like the Impulse Glenn. The dish I like and I'm starting to lean towards this style of rim. I have 2 in mind and at some point will be getting rid of the Blades and going to either Zanetti Kaotic's, Impulses, or if I stick to a rim without dish, looking at the BF GTP 19's. My preference is black centres which i can't have with the GTP's. Going to lower the car first, before I make any decisions on rims

MMMM those wheels on the NL fairlane look horn but if it were my choice id get the T3's or azzurros but u dont like spokes so that count them out

**Mechan1k** · 20-01-2007, 05:33 PM

I wouldn't mind a set of Territory GHIA Turbo 18"s with the appropriate sizing to fit the Falcon.

Only ones I can think of are BA XR 18's. T3 rims definitely dont have that finish.

The look has remained unchanged since July when I put on those sticky grey lines. It's almost time for a change in looks. Lowering I think would be a good start. Then I'll install a set of fluffy dice. Undecided on a colour of those dice. Any suggestions, please, would be greatly appreciated

Actually, most of my plans are on hold. I booked a holiday on Friday, so I gotta save for that.

Cool. As the thread starter, you get automatic choice in the colour and style of my Dice. Pink dice with blue spots it is

Sorry to Hijack your thread.

5L · 20-01-2007, 06:43 PM

haha nah thats ok, i got what i wanted out of the thread on the first page, looking at the zenetti kaotics in the wide package now. and in shadow chrome instead of chrome. or even the impul's like on glennauII's car also in shadow chrome and the wide package.

ozfordau- i think the chop looks good, but i dont think that the rims will suit it in real life, after seeing what they actually look like on blackers car i decided that they wouldnt look right.

HLC · 20-01-2007, 08:40 PM

saw those rims on a green VY SS last night. looked gay as. uhhh shocking.

OZFORDAU · 21-01-2007, 09:01 PM

What about my rims then?

Good luck with finding the wheels u want mate, it takes time so don't rush it as they are a fairly important part of the car as they do help complete the look!
