As some of you know I recently bought another AU, I still think these are the "real thing" after testing many of the later series.
Here's some phone pics, yes the XR8 wheels are on for now but I think not for too long. Don't really have to do anything else but an Edit  :

No ditch the wheels. They don't suit. Looked perfect on the Meteorite colour, but not so sure on the Blueprint. I like the ones that were on it.

 : Now don't you think I'm just the one to find the right wheel  : :nutsycuck b2tf, thanks very much mate, yes I reckon they look alright also, got to see it live. Bucky, you know pics are decieving, those Lenso's looked great side on but the offset was way out for the rear, didn't fill out the rear gaurd at all and the one important thing for a Ford is a wider tyre rim combination to fill out the buldge ! Thanks all for your positive comments, it drives like a dream and man does it feel nice !!!!!

I have seen this car in the flesh and it is absolutely immacuale. Nothing wrong with it. Looks like it just rolled off the factory floor. No onder you didn't want to take it to Melbourne.

Looks good Maurie although i have to agree the stock rims look better than those imo. They do suit the xr8 really well. The only after market rim that i have really liked on the t3 is the bbs motorsport wheel or Jamie's enkie rims.

Nah.. those wheels don't suit your T3 at all. You should really think about getting rid of them and selling them to me BD ....
 : .....  :hihi: .. Nah, just kidding. I like the rims BD.

Looks OK BD. Are you kidding - it looks sensational. I love those wheels on both the XR and the TRex! They are a very classy wheel. Though they would look better on 012s T1. Or my wagon. lol.

I think they look neat on the car. Something to make it look different.

Rim's need to be bigger. It looks like the perfect height, all u need is to go up a few inches and maybe dump a little to compensate. Those rims do look good though. Just go bigger!
 Nice car mate. I envy you

Beautiful....
Actually I wonder how those rims would go on say shaynet's TE or Noddy's TS? Definitely suits the darker greys.
