A comment that was made just before made me think; what is the best shaped wheel that ford has ever put onto their cars?
Probably going to be a wide variety of opinions, but just curious. I actually have 3 favourites, the EF/EL xr FTR wheel, T-series Azzurros and Dark Argents. So what is your favourite FORD wheel?

I just realised that my most hated Ford wheel and My favourite are both EL XR6 wheels
And have had both on my car. What a sudden realisation that was.  I'm a bit slow sometimes.Probably best not to say worst wheels though as it may offend some.

You can look to far past the smooth but modest XR8 Rebel 18"x8" seven spoke, alloy 'Speedline' Mags... Personally I find them completing the vehicle from many angles
  AHH Ford just put more thought in to there cars without over doing it

Don't flame me for this. I know it may not look great on every Ford, but the right one these look great, and as I am always looking for practicalities, these are by far one of the easiest to clean, no nooks and carrnies.
[Edit] make that crannies I don't think Carrnies will be hanging around those kind of wheels.
