Hey, I am looking at buying a new set of wheels for the old Falc, and found these GMax Matadors, which I like.
Anyone know about quality of GMax?? And, anyone tell me what wheel I need. Options are 18" x 8.5"114.3 x 5H in either ET35 or ET42. What is the difference? Pic

These are a nice looking wheel, they have made it to my short list for my FG MkII XR6T ute.
ET35 or ET42 refers to the offset. It is the distance from the rim width centre line to the mounting face. ET42 will sit further in than ET35 and will most likely have less dish. What model Falcon are you wanting them for? |

And I had them on my BF F6. Quality is first class but they can't handle hitting a rock wall at 80 kph. LOL

Well not quite; I was coming home from Lakeside Sprints, but there was no rain storm. It had been drizzling, and where I went off, the road was covered in oil so I was just a passenger. |
