Stock 18" rims & Tickford suspension
I tend to think 8" wide wheels are too narrow on Falcons especially on the rears.

I tend to agree with ya MRJUCY. But I know I dont have the coin to chuck on some 8.5-9" rear wheels on mine even though it would look pretty tough.

BTW, meteorite AU's FTMFW

I love those ROH Mantis rims........there are some on the wheelking website in 17" & 19" - prices on the site.......

I remember a while back I almost got some 17" with tyres off ebay for $600, but at the time i didn't have $600 to spare, so I couldn't get them - devastated!!!

No offence taken, I've been looking around at new wheels for this reason, there are 3 cars parked on the street I work on with the same wheels, they're becoming too common.
