Default which MAGS for au?

I currently have au series 1 xr 16" mags, they look quite tidy but im looking at the possibilities of bigger wheels.
Was thinking of maybe 18" chrome AMG QUAKES or ba xr 18inchers, wat are your thoughts? how much am i likely to pay for amg quakes?

I think you should buy something totally different and stand out a bit from what everyone else is doing.. and dont just buy wheels cause they are on sale at bob janes.. eg. amg quakes
browse around tempe tyres or the like and get something that really appeals to you..



i have these on my car, and ive always had people tell me how good they look and ask the price and where can they get them from..
its made the car look totally different and stand out..

They won't fit. I think they have a similar offset, but different PCD. (114 (?) x 5 for Falcon, 100(?) X 5 for Holden) You would have to take them to a wheel repair place, get the existing holes welded up and new holes drilled. All to put HSV wheels on a Ford!? I just hope you were joking. If you aren't, why not get AMG Quakes - they are fairly similar to HSVs wheels anyway.
