the second ones are my choice .. god your lucky i cant get any to fit mine in the uk unless i want to spend big big bucks. ive tried lots of wheels the studs line up but the centres are always too small, ive still got to try a set of "s" type jaguar though,
fingers crossed

Keep the Rebel/TS wheels. If you go the FG you will need to keep changing them. Although if you want to sell them a set of spares wont go astray.

love em mate! looks great.
but don't give away or toss your old wheels - make them pride of place on someone else's AU.

Plenty of interest in the T wheels, but no one seems to keen on the $1k price for them, so looks like they'll live in the shed gathering dust, until I get bored with the FG wheels :

May as well be one of the "first out of the blocks" with the FGs on a AU.

I'm not split at all, Rebel wheel are spot on imo, not really a fan of those FG wheels, too glossy,can't beat the factory flat silver look.
Focus wheels on a Falc.
Now if you were to put the FGXR8 19" rims not that would catch my eye.
