FPRXR-6 Member 239 Member For: 22y 1m 28d Location: Melbourne Posted 25/06/03 03:25 AM Share Posted 25/06/03 03:25 AM I went to the dealer to see how much it would cost me to get the factory 18" with Falken tyres.After having a look at my 17" wheels the guy at the spare parts section said that it would cost me $1600 change over. Now I'm unsure if I should go for it or get aftermarket wheels. What do you guys think of these wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock Dunlops Ford fit are pretty decent tyres and you may lose ride quality or have increased road noise from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm unsure if I should go for it or get aftermarket wheels. What do you guys think of these wheels? Those wheels look great. I love how they are subtly different from the factory wheels rather than "in your face".A note on the replacement cost of tyres for the 18's. I had to get 2 new tyres and got Hankook Ventus Sport K104's. They were $300 each compared with $595 for Dunlop SP9000's and $520 for Bridgestones. So as you can see, quite a bit of money can be saved if you go for a lesser known brand name. And funnily enough, the Hankooks are rated to carry more weight than the SP9000's!.
