I have decided its time to finish what I started 4 years ago.
When my GT gets here I am going to finish modifying my Au Xr8 and one of the jobs is the wheels. I want to go 19 inch but am having trouble deciding on what rims to get. I have had a look at the show n shine thread and must say there are some very nice rims in there but that doesn't seem to be the place to discuss what I am after. SO basically I am looking for ideas and feedback about what type of rim people have or have seen on AU s that look the goods. Some of the rims I have on my short list are the BBS motorsport rim, the speedywheels Cheetah and the Mercury although the later is 18inch only. I have seen a couple of Falcons on the web with Cheetah 18s and I don’t think they suit the car as much I as I had thought seeing just the wheel only although a monaro with 20s looks pretty good. Those pictures are on the speedy website. Other wheels include the G max M190 and Showwheels Intro mesh. I would also like to know more about these wheels

Check out Bluedrivers rims, by far the best looking set of wheels I have ever seen on an AU.

They'd be 19s.

Thanks. That would explain why I was having trouble.

And before you ask, he's not selling them and when he does he has already told me he has a buyer...

Yeah I wasn't going to ask as they're no good to me unless I can buy new.
Still very very nice
