Ive recently changed vehicles and have my rims from my old car but i really cant decide if i should put the rims onto the new vehicle, do they suit it or look wrong with the colouring... Or should i look into another style/brand. Any ideas on other wheels also ?

Thanks

+1! They are different to most rims on other falcons and look mint! As if this question needed asking!

100%, black centres don't work on cars that are not white.

That, or a set of RE30's

19" Meisters would work too.

Stretched tyres and slam it too. I'll add you on Facebook if you do.

Do not molest them by painting

If they dont suit
Sell them and buy something that does

Paint centres black is everyones universal answer for everything
sadly this has been done to death

Wheels on the GTR look like HRE's to me. High end euro rims usually dressed up on Ferrari's and the like.

leave them gold.

stretched tyres + slammed, and it would look pretty tidy as far as falcons go.

How are u goin to fit the nuts ?

I faced this problem, ie gtc needs special shape nuts with either 12 x 1.25,12 x 1.5 etc depending on jap vehicle, ford uses 14 x 1.25 i think off the top of my head.

?.? Let me know wat u come up with cause i am sure interested, as my car is wheeless atm.

Cheers

These rims were on his last Falcon, so can't see it being a problem?

Yer they do need special nuts and in pretty sure ford is an imperial thread, I got my last set from mr mag they got bulk wheel nuts to choose, $5 each though.

What about advan rs 19s ?

I vote sell - gold rims and green car just doesn't do it for me - seems a bit trashy.
