Hi guys,
Need some wheels that will fit over brembos. Here's the for sale thread on my current rims. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...51#post4814651 I'd like a 5 spoke i.e. T3, BA GT or aftermarket and something in 18" would be nice. Willing to go to 19" i guess.

problem.
A) needed them yesterday B) shipping to where I live C) becoming a little overdone (maybe just in the car scene world) = expensive, still contemplating and having a look around

I don't like them ( might be half decent on a white car though ) they look cheap to me, but it's your car and your choice. we all like different looks

That was just a rough idea of what im looking at. Im considering Lenso D1R 20" staggered. I want a 5 spoke and I need them pretty quickly.
![]() Any other suggestions?

yeah i did consider them but i think theyre also a little overdone now. In saying that, i cant remember the last time i seen them on an AU, let alone a ute. Can someone photoshop me one?

I agree with Kris. Shaun, you cannot go past T3 5 spokes. I think they would look great on your Silhouette ute.

haha you guys are just Tickford purists. Im seriously considering the 19" axis hiro, lenso D1R or sanother enkei 5 spoke. As much as i adore the T3 5 spoke i dont want another AU ute. I do really enjoy them but the worlds population of T3 cant just be deeignated to the AFF AU and t-series threads. Besides, id hate to scrub them and be put to guillotine

BTW I hope I haven't offended anyone by using purist. Its good to kick up some dust every now and again. I've just seen a lot of utes/sedans go the T3 rim direction, and I just want something a little different. Thanks for your input though.
Down the track ill be using a pursuit lower bar at the front and rear.

Enkei RP03 will fit and you can get them in staggered widths and offsets in 18 and 19's. I have 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 on the race car.

They are nice, but only come in 17 or 18 and only 7.5 width according to the enkei website.

I would think a 7.5" rim would be too smal for a falcon, especially on the rear.
Main issue with brembos is the calliper width. It's all to do with the design on the inside of the spokes to allow the wheels to fit. Not always the offset. |

Yup! Im picky and shallow and dont care who knows it
![]() So i rang TSW today, they said the SPA above fits over brembos but another of their wheel i was interested in doesnt. The SPA is only $750 for a set cause they order them in bulk apparently, the only issue is they only come in 8" width. I want 9 or 9.5 for the rears though.
