Both look great but the FG's do look tough. Either way, they both look really good!

The T Series/Rebel wheels are one of my fav designs but the FG wheels look awesome on your car!
:sm_headba
The full XR bodykit would really complete the look.

You'd have to be one of the first AU owners to chuck FG wheels on?

It's not that the FG XR rims don't look the business because they do. It's that the AU Rebel rims look so damn good, that changing them to the FG rims doesn't really result in much of an improvement IMO. Having said that, why not for a change. Just don't sell the Rebel rims!

I thought the Rebel wheels gave the ute a bit of "Class".
The FG wheels do make a statement though !
I really only changed them because they were cheap, and I wanted a change.
Pretty interesting, the FG's seem to be winning peoples choice.....just.

+1 for Rebels.

Not really a fan of cross model wheel changes.

I prefer the Rebel wheels, they suited the AU really well.. But at the same time the FG wheels look good.. Its a hard one, i guess my originality instinct says keep the AU ones but i cant be sure!

Mate I am honestly split.

I just can't decide, the rebel wheels do look great on your ute (even better in person than that pic) but those FG wheels are just so different on an AU that I reckon they look great.
