There's a white F6 that is almost fully optioned - Great price and an awesome car but it has the twisty's on it. White without the argents does not interest me at all.My question is - Where do I get genuine argents? I'm pretty wary buying things off ebay - especially such a large purchase as this, so that's out of the question. (Plus I don't want copies) I assume Ford would sell them outright and I know know wheel king used to have them ($980 a rim mind you...)Is my best bet just to look for a 2nd hand genuine set? Anyone selling a set? The only other thing I can think of is a nice black/charcoal set - Anyone got any suggestions as to what they think will match the white really well? Would like 19/20's that must clear brembo's and I'll lower the car a bit.Thanks guys,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG twisty's lowered look good.. Give them a chance as will grow on you, paint them dark argent color maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without them, I just don't feel the accents have anything else to mesh with on the car - Just my opinion though...You mean paint the twisty's like this right?I dunno how much I like that though - Kinda hard to visualise on a white... Thoughts?Cheers Bellato - I'll do a bit of digging around on FB and explore the a/market option then.Mummba - Would they come with tyres? What sort of price would you think? Would you be interested in a trade + cash with the twistys? PM me if you'd like.Cheers guys,Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the MKII rims I feel are a little thin.I just want a classy rim that suits the cars styling without looking cheap or making me look like a bogan hahaha!Cheers,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe paint twisty's in the same color as car and put a pinstripe on tyres to seperate maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any merit in what I've heard?I'll look into the pinstripe actually - Good idea mate Cheers,Dan Edited 03/04/13 08:37 AM by NVT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
