No offence Mecha1k, but I just don't like those rims. My parents have them on their S3 SR Wagon. I thought they were a poor modern version of the XR rims on the E-Series. I can't remember their names.

I had 2 clover leaf rims on my trailer. Don't have them anymore

I sold two of mine to AUsFalcons ... and he put them on a trailer ... to suit the ones he already had on his AU .... must admit ... they look decent on a trailer (the 5-spokes anyway).

Have seen these 5-spokes on a lowered Hilux (older model) with lower profile tyres ... and I do admit they do look much better (makes the rim look much bigger).

Very true! I paid $60 a piece for them in 2003, didn't put them on my car until early 2005 though, and today got $50 each for them! :

Thanks for all your help today Casper, it was really appreciated, and it was great to meet you!

I agree with the comment about the rims in the pic, but as Casper said to me today, the worst rims Ford ever made were those on the AU1 Futura! Thankfully I took them off today!

As for the Clover Leaf ones, I like them more and more the more and more I see them. :

Won't be able to afford that for a while and even if I could, I need some new tyres on the SR sedan next! Having sampled these new ones I got today from Casper, I think that maybe I'll be spending a little more than I had planned to pay for those I was putting on the SR LOL!

It would look really good lowered though I know!
