Yeah they did. They look exactly like the SVP ones but without any paint in the background. I was at a dealer for prices on an MK2 with and without a lux pack.

I still not understand why Ford do not offer 20 inch rims. Holden do.

I think the price is ok. But I still think it could be better price to sell.

this thread isn't about GMH, it's about a new model Ford.

if you think the price could be better, go down and bargain with them, get a better price, then fit some 20's from any wheel store.

Looks good, Ford generally have good luck selling limited edition Falcons (except the 50th av ones).

As for the rim size, for most people driving on Australian roads (read that as crap roads) 19 inch is big enough if not to big for a nice ride (the thing most buyers are looking for).

I've got 19s on my FG and they are big enough, I'd probably prefer an 18 to be honest, more comfortable and larger tyre choice. I've got 20s on the other FG, they are just massive. Nobody needs a 20 inch wheel from factory. I think Holden do them largely because of the massive wheel arch flares on the VE, they make every wheel look like a 16

Interesting they have gone black on black with the ICC, no silver buttons this time, reminds me of the GT Black interior.

Yes theres another thread about this in the FG section...

Cars look mint inside and out, near as good as the 50th anniversary models.

I was wondering what was going on, I thought I posted it in the fg forum. Limited editions are selling well, love the 19s with the grey overlay. In regards to the 20s I think the ride quality would be a bit to harsh. I still don't get why they put sat nav in the utes rather than the sedans

Sedans get a reverse camera, not available on utes hence the sat nav.

The ute looks like a luxury pack with some badges and a bit of body kit. The price is right but the reason I did not order the luxury pack is I did not want 19" wheels so I just ordered leather seats.

The roads up here are bad enough on 18s, 19s & 20s seem to get damaged far to often.
