Good one Daniel! Looking forward to seeing how the steed looks with new hooves and shoes! LOL!

If our cars were the same colour, some might get them mixed up! LOL!

Did your car get sprayed yet? That's coming up soon too isn't it?

Surely he means the Rebel wheels? 18's? Not really known as 220 wheels, but they did come on the AU2 XR8 rebel, which had the 220 motor in it.

See if you can get them powder coated instead of painted - a much better and harder wearing finish. And you should be able to get it done for around $100 per rim including sandblasting/prep work.

Ah ok, I see. So what he really means are XR6 VCT rims.

I had a set of these. Apart from the pursuit rims, as a 17, great looking rim. Seen 1 Magna and now 1 BA ute with these rims. Tickford centres as well.

Nice choice. You will be happy.

Strait up, they are standard AU 2 XR8 Rims.I think they where an option for the XR6.

They look good Dan.
Also would work better now that the matching tyres are front and rear not left and right, Not to mention them their rotation direction.......:P
