Robit28 Member 385 Member For: 19y 7m 23d Location: Brisbane Posted 16/01/07 12:10 PM Share Posted 16/01/07 12:10 PM Ordered my new (run out) 2006 F6 Typhoon last weekend.Rang up today to say I would like the 18" rims upgraded to the 19" ones and was told that I couldn't get them upgraded unless the car came from the factory like that! WTF!Why wouldn't Ford want me to have these wheels????It's more money for them.I reckon the dealer is too lazy to follow them up and fit them.Anyone else had the same problem (not allowed to fit factory aftermarket mags because the car is sitting in the showroom)?Rob.

FPV website lists them as $795 (presumeGST inc) + LCT←Ross the FPV web site refers to BF II.BF I pricing is a $2400 option on top of the 18" standard wheels, as Mal stated.Mine came with the 19", and I wanted the 18" with the $2400+LCT+GST removed, but that was not an option.Brian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31855-typhoon-19-rims/#findComment-487099 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im surprised the ford dealer didnt tell Robit28 that the 1inch difference in diameter between the 18 and 19" ring was and i quote "within ford specs".......
