Yep....well aware of that wheel ;) having had fakie advan rs rims before....I found the multispoke hard to keep clean (cause lazy kent lol).

Saw a cheap set of them in 18x9.5 +22 all round......think he wants $1250ono...I'd offer 1k cause pretty sure you can buy new for $1600

Let us know how you find having a 30 profile rear tyre....currently using 245/35/19 atm and find on some rough sections you can feel it slightly more compared with my previous 18s...but the 19s just look so right on our big boats :P

Picked up a FGX XR6 Luxury Pack (leather, gps, prem stereo, 19" alloys) factory new, in Silhouette Black, auto, $34.6k delivered. Didn't look at the Turbo as it ran the same brakes as non-Turbo & no Ford warrantied brembo brake option - a pity - and why? Have driven company Fords, Holdens & BMWs & drove alll these before buying the FGX XR6 Lux Pack as my personal drive. Seriously, none of the others came anywhere near the value proposition of $35K for the world class I6+ZF combo, glorious ride on our crap roads, sharp handling & the Synch2. Have to wonder why the last XR6 Turbos weren't offered with the braking package they needed & deserved - unless you picked up a limited run Sprint  - reckon would have sold a heck of lot more XR6Ts if they did...

:Welcome2FordXR6t:

Good purchase. I think you were close on your thought pattern. Sprint or nothing for the "bottom of the barrel parts bin haul" for the brembo's. You can buy them cheaper aftermarket anyway, if you really want them.

 

Add some pics of your new ride; we'd like to see it :spoton: (instructions)
