Got my new wheels today! - Ford Forums

The BA XR8 replicas I had been waiting for arrived today. To pass the time waiting for the courier to arrive around 4ish I spent the day washing, waxing and detailing Monty. Then I took to the brakes and painted them silver. After what seemed an eternity the truck arrived and I washed and fitted the wheels and they look fantastic on the EL Fairmont. :) Glad I chose silver for the brakes too, they look sweet throught the rims and the silver suits the Cinnamon body colour nicely.

I've taken some photos and will post them once I get them developed and scan them. The only digital camera I have is my phone and the pics don't do the car justice.

E series replicas are only available in 17" but don't judge it til I put the pics up! They look stunning on the car :) To use the 18" replicas I'd need to fork out for hub adaptors and I like my car insured...

I've taken a bucketload of shots, but they won't be ready til Monday, the photo shop is that flat out. I guess there are a few of us 35mm film users out there still

Will pick the best shots and post them Monday arvo.

Thanks for the comments people :)

I got them from Wheels Direct in Melbourne, cost $875 for the wheels only and $66 freight to Adelaide. They also put wheels up on ebay a lot under the username 1300direct.

Here is another shot too :)
