Honestly? Yuck. But it's your car. Actually, the style is OK, just all that chrome is what makes me sick!

its just for ideas for the time being. just i dont think the 17's are big enough on the au's and i think chrome will look good with the colour. hmm id like to see them on in real life ofcourse before i make final decision.

lol you can say that again, 17's are way to small for an Au unless the car is extremely low(scrubbing on the road)!!! low.

Shame Shame Shane, you have hanging around that other ricer guy to much mate (that bloke in the black ghia i think it is), now here's a set of slush puppies that would look tougher, even a black centre would work well with your car. All good

glad i seen those ones on your car blackers, definatley changes it, they suit your car, but i dont think that chrome would suit mine. in my photochop the wheels are like a white chrome, which suits the car, but in real life i think on the xr they would look horrid.

Too bling for an XR8. Suits the Fairlane, but definitely NOT on the Tickford.

If you want to go chrome, then the ones DOC put up look good, or something like mine.
I dont personally tend to like chrome but I am actually fairly fond of mine. Whatever you like though. My car is going to be painted pink, I know I will get criticised for that. But if you want them, do it, dont let a bunch of (mainly) anonymous people on the internet tell you otherwise! :P P.S Sorry, just realised you have already decided not to get the ones you originally posted, what is your inclination now? pic?

I have just fallen in love with the latest offering from FPV myself. The new Force rims, i believe they are 19"x8" and in shadow chrome look SEXY!! I wonder if they are available yet?
