I found that the BF F6 standard wheel was not grippy, too smooth, and did not like it. I rang City Ford; they quoted around $1800.I bought a brand new one with the fpv logo for $700 3 months ago from a company in Vic.I tried ebay at the time, but couldn't source one.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly never considered it due to the fact I thought that they costs as y'all have said, $1300-$1800I say go for it mate, seems to be no bad feedback on the wheels!

They are aslo better without the badge, because the badges fall out when the glue ages and gets hard. 333 AND 013 BOTH NEEDED badge warranty.Cars are much better to drive with this wheel fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Member 55 Member For: 17y 3m 10d Location: Melbourne Posted 02/05/08 04:50 AM Author Share Posted 02/05/08 04:50 AM Thanks for the advice guys, think ill buy it, sounds like a very nice steering wheel and a decent upgrade over the standard leather wrapped XR one. Ohh and BAman, $450? bastard! lool.. the guy selling it to me wanted $600 originallly, will actually cost me $550 but its a brand new one, never used before and ill treat it like its made of glass lol ... ahh welll as long as it lasts and doesnt fall apart quickly or anything then its worth it...
