YOOT Member 1,201 Member For: 21y 6m 14d Location: Birkdale Posted 05/04/05 09:43 AM Share Posted 05/04/05 09:43 AM So, does ROH make our beloved 17" stock mags for the MkI XRs? I figured they do, but they aren't listed on their website.There is a number of Magnas owned by a computer guru near our office and one of the VRX's has an 18" pair of our mags on it!So I wanna know is can you get the buggers in 19", That would be cool. But I need to ascertain if ROH actually make this design. I will take a picture tomorrow if its there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyre Factory or something like that? May have been the other ford forum?Sorry for being so vauge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramo Member 163 Member For: 21y 4m 16d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 05/04/05 12:06 PM Share Posted 05/04/05 12:06 PM There is a company making copies of both the 17" Mk 1 rims and the 18" rims.The EF/EL may have had the copies, or they could have been genuine rims with spacers as the offset is different. I saw an EF/EL today with BA GT rims.I think you'll find that the Magna you saw either had rims that looked mildly similar to BA 17", or they were the copies with a ROH centre cap on them cos it's not ROH that make them. Does anyone know, on the topic of rims, where I could find a genuine set of 18" BA XR rims at a reasonable cost? Nowhere I here you say as they are an expensive rim. I got a quote from a wheel place for around $3500 with a set of Hankook K104. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlee Member 29 Member For: 20y 4m 8d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 05/04/05 12:39 PM Share Posted 05/04/05 12:39 PM I have seen a guy on ebay selling BA XR6 17" and 18" mag wheels to suit BA and another set with correct offset to fit AU's. They are copies and when I rang the guy to enquire about them he told me they were Enkei copies and you couldn't tell the difference, $1000 for 4 bare rims and $2000 fitted with Nangkangs or something similar, delivered I think ??

In the past I've seen AU XR wheels on a Magna and a Soarer. And just recently I've had BA XR 18" knock offs put on my RAV4...same stud pattern as Falcon whees!
