Not too bad - but there are plenty of better looking wheels out there.

I like the BA MkI GT wheels ... they are a nice wheel.
Although I am fond of the BF GT rims as well ... but they are becoming more and more common now.

I love those rims. Always been a fan. GTP 19's are my 2nd choice. Always wanted to see how they would look on an AU.

Why do you reckon they don't suit?

They look ok, but thats about it. I still don't get why so many AU owners go for the hand me downs from the B-series cars, there are crap loads of rims available for our cars that don't look like everyone elses. 8lueoval, Black rims polished lip would look the goods on your car.

but black rims with polished/chrome lips are flavour of the month at the moment.


i like those GT rims, and i think they look good on the car too. thats my opinion. lol

I really like them, think they suit the car & colour of the car nicely.

They look good mate. Something different to whats floating around. In the end it's your car and your choice.

I've got b series rims that don't look like everyone elses. Suppose that happens when you get phoon rims I'm yet to see another AU with them, but i bet you they would exist
