opinions on these wheels

[5L]

i came across these wheels and i thought they look nice, the are xhp shorelines 19x8.5.

what are your thoughts on them

[JC]

Honestly? Yuck. But it's your car. Actually, the style is OK, just all that chrome is what makes me sick!

[5L]

its just for ideas for the time being. just i dont think the 17's are big enough on the au's and i think chrome will look good with the colour. hmm id like to see them on in real life ofcourse before i make final decision.

[JoesAu]

they look pretty good

[JoesAu]

lol you can say that again, 17's are way to small for an Au unless the car is extremely low(scrubbing on the road)!!! low.

[blackers10]

NOOOO!! i have those in 20"
so ok you can have your 19" mwahahaha!

hope that works

i prefer a sportier looking rim on the AU XRs
like the XHP Jet type rim or somthing with just thinner spokes

[DOC]

Shame Shame Shane, you have hanging around that other ricer guy to much mate (that bloke in the black ghia i think it is), now here's a set of slush puppies that would look tougher, even a black centre would work well with your car. All good

Obviously a tyre rotation with those rims would be easily out of the question!

[5L]

glad i seen those ones on your car blackers, definatley changes it, they suit your car, but i dont think that chrome would suit mine. in my photochop the wheels are like a white chrome, which suits the car, but in real life i think on the xr they would look horrid.

They will look good on your car for sure.

[JefXR8]

The wheels at top of this page are horrible :(

The ones on the fairlane look awsome.

Edit thats on the ef or el fairlane

[Jeeepers]

Please, don't do it... They are $#*&!!!!!

DOCs right, get the ons he posted up, they are tough as.

[GK]

Not to my taste personally, but hey, it's your ride!

All the best with your decision process.

Didn't think they were.. its hard to tell because theres so many varietys of impuls. You can get them without the dish, in chrome, black, white etc.. mind you they look horrible without the dish.

I hear you say Dish and in Black. I think I like that idea. :evil3:

[ClassicAU]

I have just fallen in love with the latest offering from FPV myself. The new Force rims, i believe they are 19"x8" and in shadow chrome look SEXY!! I wonder if they are available yet?

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.

[Eu-GenixX]

not a fan... but as long as you like them... i just don't like the colour... too bright for the dark car

[Dark Horse]

Too bling for an XR8. Suits the Fairlane, but definitely NOT on the Tickford.

[5L]

thats why i posted up about the t3's i have already confirmed im not getting them. at the time i liked them, but after seeing them on an actual car, it changed my mind.

[GCFordChic]

If you want to go chrome, then the ones DOC put up look good, or something like mine.




I dont personally tend to like chrome but I am actually fairly fond of mine.

Whatever you like though. My car is going to be painted pink, I know I will get criticised for that. But if you want them, do it, dont let a bunch of (mainly) anonymous people on the internet tell you otherwise! :P

P.S Sorry, just realised you have already decided not to get the ones you originally posted, what is your inclination now? pic?

[RG]

Nice rims ^^^^^^^
XR8 badges on the skirts look the goods too.

[5L]

id prefer to just get 5spokes, not a fan of heaps of spokes.

There was another thread by Chrispie123 who was looking at getting a set of 19" Koya's on his AU Forte. Nice clean looking 5 spoke rims. Would really suit your car I reckon.

EDIT: Here's the thread http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=81942

[5L]

ok, ill look into it. i would prefer to get 19's but as i said. if i got 18's id get the t3's from wheelking.

[stiddy]

I actually like the wheels in the first pic, although its not something id get, but I do like them alot, As nice as GCfordchicks and DOC's wheels are I personally prefer the other rims.
They look awesome AUXR8220.. get them!
