Commonly known as the "little Bopper".... there was a web page running on its build quite a few years ago.

That XR50 ute is owned by Canterbury Tyres ...... had a good laugh when they put those wheels on but they finally threw them away and put a decent set on it last week.
And that Cortina has Win all over it!!!!!!

Alright, sorry guys. Little bopper isn't too bad.
I've seen a commodore with the same rims on it as the XR50 so there are some ppl out there who think they are cool!! Very strange! lol |

Those XR50 rims look like something that some bloke in a shed decided to make up out of spare bits and pieces.

I reckon a black rim and chrome spoke design would look cool..
But I might be biased

Worst..looking..rims...EVER
No one can honestly say they look good. Sometime you might say that there is one car in the world that they would suit, but no, they are terrible, what was the designer thinking and even worse who gave it the ok to be produced. |

I really don't see how they could withstand the punishment Australian roads deal out. They look like they'd crush as soon as they hit the first pot hole at the wrong angle

 Not the one I saw! I did have a pic of it but can't find it. It was a white VS! I can't believe there are more of these rims getting around! I agree with you Polyal. Not to offend anyone, but I always thought the tri spoke rims were hideous, until I spotted the XR50!!
