Those are the rims available on the post-November XR's.Surely the dealers would be aware of this, they are the ones selling these cars new!

mikeyh Member 8 Member For: 18y 6m 13d Location: Auckland NZ Posted 05/02/08 08:01 AM Share Posted 05/02/08 08:01 AM These are the standard 18" BF/BF2 XR8 rims. I had them added as an option on my BF when I got it 18 months ago, cost NZ$2k to upgrade at the time.Recently (a couple of months back) they added those darkened highlights to the wheels. I'm sure there will be plenty of these wheels floating around, and a wheel shop should be able to darken the inside curve of each "spoke" if you can only find the plain standard ones....

Thought exactly the same thing.Given the brake dust issue, I wish they were out when I bought my T back in 2006!Go to your local Ford dealer, but there are heaps of "Wheels" on ebay that are just mad.Good luck.

Yes those 18" wheels with the grey inserts were designed for the november realesed upgrade BF MKII XR6's. I actually have a december build model and even though they look good I probably would have prefered the previous design "which is exactly the same style without the grey inserts" because they look bigger being in a alloy finish. Going by the price of the previous 18" rim that's listed on the ford website fordthey sell for $3400 and you'd assume that possibly the newer style would sell for more!Im actually looking at selling or trading mine in for some 19 or 20" rims I haven't decided yet!Wheel king in Moorabbin offered me $2000 trade in when I first bought the car!
