notorious benny Member 54 Member For: 16y 9m 23d Posted 29/07/08 07:42 AM Share Posted 29/07/08 07:42 AM G'day all, my name is Ben and this is my first post on your forums.I am ready to order a new FG XR6-T, however I have a dilemma....I have a good quote for the turbo manual with the lux pack that I would jump at, however I am not a fan of the 'premium' 19 inch wheels. I dont think they look as cool as the stock 18's.However I cannot have the lux pack with the 18's (even though they are getting a deal) the factory wont deliver them that way :(I have also read that the ride isnt as good with the 19's either, can anyone comment on that claim??I guess I will have to find someone who has 18's and wants a straight swap over to the 19's..........CheersBenny.PS does anyone have some good links to the new turbo with the 19's and in the colour ego?? I have only really see the pictures of the XR-8 with 19's in MOTOR a month or so back.I am in a country town and I have yet to see a 19's equipped model in the metal.

I guess though, if it rides well enough for me I will keep them, hopefully they will grow on me.I get to sit in the leather interior, but I dont see the wheels while I am driving it do I :)Edit..... Geoff, thanks for the reply, it would be great to see some pictures of your new ride. that's the exact colour I am wanting to order.

Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 9m 15d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 29/07/08 08:36 AM Share Posted 29/07/08 08:36 AM I have the 19's and like them. If you look at them in the flesh they're a nice looking wheel I think. I got the lux pack because I wanted the leather, prem sound. I will be selling my factory 19's as I have other wheels being delivered soon. The ride is fine with the 19's so I wouldn't worry too much about that.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48127-fg-xr-6-turbo-wheel-options/#findComment-711865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
