Default MKII Typhoons or Dark Agents?

Hey guys,

After new wheels for my car, I'm looking at either Dark Agents or MkII Typhoons, or the silver 'Dark' Agents.

What are peoples thoughts on them three rims? In 19"

The car.





Note: Car now has clear indicators, not a big difference, but yeah..

No pics of the wheels, everyone knows what they look like.

Anyone wants to do a chop that would be awesome to.

Cheers, Dan.

Yeah I think dark agents are what Im leaning towards, and if I don't like them I'd paint them silver or try trade them for silver ones or something else.

Just wanted to add that red walls are pretty high on the agenda, so what would people think of red walls with the 19" dark agents?

Shouldn't have sold the GT-P's, or at least upgrade to the 19" versions. They suit your car really well.
Oh well, I reckon get the silver Dark Agents, the silver seems to suit your car really well.

Red walls would look good on it too being a black car.

bit different to compare a red and black car. Dark agents with a red wall would be nice but being a black rim they wont be noticed as much whist driving. But they would be my personal choice over the other set

They look awesome on that car..... I used to have a white ed xr6 with very similar spoiler kit....... Really like those dark agents atm....

Can anyone give feedback that the quality of the resellers on e-bay are as good as the originals????? I assume these being the old style off-set must be from the same seller??

Yeah they are Mick's wheels, I was very disappointed in him selling the wheels as they suited his car to a T, but he wants wheels that you can see at night, "Rolling Bling" as he calls it! He's on the lookout for 19" GT-P's.

The wheels are from WheelMags in Thomastown, Melbourne. They're not an ebay special! They are still a good quality wheel, 99% identical to the originals. My GT-P's were originally from the same place, I bought them second hand tho. All the copies they make come in different sizes and pre AU and AU/BA offset, so you can get them for any Falcon basically.

Well i was going to man, it was all set up and everything and then he messaged me back and said he wasnt so sure on the swap anymore and that he would prefer to just sell them which is fair enough I suppose so ive messaged him now but havnt got a reply as of yet.

its so weird driving around on ftrs again.

Crap camera, crap photo, picture doesn't do it justice in anyway IMO. I love it with the new wheels, and have had only good comments so far from people who have seen it in person.

What do you all think?
