wheels look great. I like the BF XR8 rims. They are much better than the BA XR8's

yep,I recon 1-1.5" lower at the rear(maybe just lowering blocks), to level her up, the front sits good for an every day car.

Oh man, i have been beaten to it!! :P They look a lot better on an AU than i imagined, very nice choice. I have always liked those rims. I also know they are still very expensive to buy new. I don't think anyone makes copies yet either.
