Default Help Identifying These wheels
Could someone please help me to identify these Tickford Mags.
I think they are of an AU2 XR6 or XR8 but I'm not sure.
I would realy like to get some to put on my AU2.

Yep, they are series 1 17" option wheel for all AU1 cars. Came standard on some, but only as an option with something else (I think body kit).

Yep, they are Series 1 XR rims. Darn nice I reckon.

If anyone has another set going for $350 or so, let me know. I might be able to rouse up some dough for them. They'd look great on the wagon.

Mine may be up for grabs with rubber later in the year. Probably closer to $800 for 4 though. They are $450 each from Ford, no rubber, no centre caps. IIRC they are the most expensive 17" rim Ford put on a Falcon ever. Probably one of the most popular too..

How do Ford (Fraud) get away with charging that price without the centre caps.

Cheers Casper.

Love those rims. Wish someone would do a replica in 19".

Centre caps were $25 each.

Even the spare parts guy at Westpoint was laughing at how stupid it was..

Good to very good. Certainly not "as now" as they have some scratches and a few minor gutter marks but given they are almost 8 years old thats to be expected.
Basically looking to get rid of them Sept/Oct when some new goodies will hopefully find there way onto my car. Tyres will hopefully be about 50-70% good still too.

I'll put something up in the forsale section when the time comes unless I have a locked in and firm sale beforehand.

Standard on AU 1 XR8, option on all XR's and other variants too. Standard fare on AU2 Fairmonts with the boydkit and Tickford suspension. Have a set on ours, and they are a great looking rim. Compliment the car very nicely.
