I have two favourites.

Internationally, the MkI Focus RS Oz Racing Wheels.


And locally, would have to be the G6E Turbo 19's in both Original and 50th Anniversary finishes.

Good to see a wide variety of tastes out there. There's certainly been a lot of different styles of wheels on Fords over the years.

I have a few that I like. A couple of them are hard to track down exactly what model they're from as they seem to be on a couple of models or there were different wheels on the same model (eg AU XR8 & AUII XR6)
Anyway, These are mine.

BA XR8
AU XR8 (thick spoke wide at edge no grooves)
AUII XR6 blade wheels (similar to ute ones?)
Snowflake
EL Fairmont Ghia
EA-ED Fairmont Ghia/Fairmont turbo blades
KH Laser Horizon ROH wheels
12 slotters

I agree. They were the start of something new. AU1 tickfords as shown in the other post were also very classy for their time. I still have 2 new centre caps which go for $90 odd new.

I'm torn between Option 52's and EL FTR's as far as factory wheels go.

Both made an immediate impression on me as soon as I saw them. Also, no offense to those that do appreciate them, except anything bigger than a 16" rim seems to hurt my eyes

AU S2/3 XR rims ... I still have them on the BFII ute



Although I do like these GTP rims though ... and look nice on other B-series models as well.

Already mentioned I think, but the AU XR6/Tickford Fairmont wheels look fantastic:



Or the optional 16" alloys of the ED era (look really good polished):




Cheers,
Brett

12 slotters I like. They looked especially good on my HQ Kingswood and HX Sandman

Modern wheel, would have to be the ones sm1dy put up, followed by the 19" GTP's and the T3 5 spoke. I also like the rims on my XR5

Phwoorr.. Those AU XR rims are the ones I was referring to in my last post. Man, they are nice. I'm pleased to see that they'll fit on a BF. Woo Hoo
They're the ones I'll want on my BF when I eventually get one. (I'm sure it will happen one day )

Those GT-P rims are very nice too.
