If they're the ones I think, they look average but sorta grow on you after a while. I guess like my S1 Futura wheels did! LOL.

I took off my stripe... no way I'd ever put it back on either. Looks 10 x better without it.

Ok my opinion about strips,

Theres a groove on the rubstrip, front bar and rear bar for the pin strip.
I say if you want something different from the red strip that came with AU1 XR's, go the grey/metallic AUII/III XR stripes. I've seen a few AU1's with this treatment and it looks the goods and looks more classier. Once again this only my opinion.

I own an AUII but i have a very soft spot for AU1 XR's with the full tickford bodykit and bi-plane, was definitly a shape that stodout and was one of the first saloon car to make a bi-plane spoiler work with the shape. Hence why i had to get a bi-plane for mine.

Yep, 16".

Mine are not for sale though, they have become expendable drag and burnout tyres. Beats destroying the road tyres.
