I've seen a few shockers in my time. Keep in mind that polished wheels need a lot more TLC than painted wheelsDo you have any other pics ?I do have a few others...but due to confidentiality issues, I can't quite post them on the web.

I've got the 17's on my T but I definitely prefer the design of the 18's (just not the tyre replacement cost). Love the rims on GT's too! hey dude, brake dust is a pain but I use the high pressure soap at a car warsh and it takes about 30 seconds per wheel once a fortnight.works great.

If so, why?I work at FMC as the Wheel Design Engineer and would love to hear what customers out there would like to see on the next generation XR's. Polished or chrome mags please will look great against black Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11008-wheels-for-xrs/page/4/#findComment-129248 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suresh,Mate good to see more info.So I am assuming that the pic you posted is the std 17" XR rim but painted like the old rebels black with chrome edges.. (I had some on the old XW HO) Nice... I may have a play with Photoshop to see how this may look on the Phantom with Black wheels with Chrome spokes... Just on the wheel choice. I am more than happy with the 17's and 18's. As per above, the costs of replacing the tyres on the 18's are pricey due to the slightly odd size....Keep up the good work..
