Hey guys, I'm just after some extra opinions, I've currently got BF XR8 18's on my car, but I'm tossing up trying to get my hands on some Tickford 5-spokes (like the ones on b2tf's ute). Thoughts?
I might actually prefer the BF's I think, but maybe time for a change? The T3's would show off my new premium brakes once they go on too ;) On a related note, and might sway me one way or another, if anyone knows anyone selling any, or wants to swap, or wants to maybe buy these, let me know (mine are mint, with brand new Sumitomo ZII's) ;) Cheers, Matt. |

I reckon keep the BF 18's, they are unique, not many people have them on AU's

Have you considered something that isn't on every other Ford?

Matt, I say get the T3 rims! I have always liked them myself, but could never find them. Plus, I want two of your BF's for mine anyway! I need a spare and one to replace my hacked wheel! :P

They are both very similar in style, so a change maybe good, if your bored with the look, me personally I like the T3s.

I prefer the T3 Azzurros for looks, but they are a sod of a thing to clean.

T3's but I am biased too. Apart from the forums I havn't seen another non T series AU with them on the road. Good way to change the appearance and give it a clean factory look.
