There is a 5 Spoke 16 inch wheel also available mate. Don't have a picture on me but if you go onto carsales and search up AU XLS utes they came with them from factory..

As for Tailights i reckon you could pick up a set for probarly $100...

**Polyal** · 31-03-2006, 12:13 PM

yeah id be going the s pack wheels before them..I love the s pack wheels, reminds me of the Viper RT/10 rims with two more spokes...lol..and a bit skinner

Casper · 31-03-2006, 06:27 PM

looks better on the wagon than they did on my XR!

SIKSIX · 31-03-2006, 06:33 PM

yeah they not too bad. I think they look about 16", or abouts there.

Casper · 31-03-2006, 07:18 PM

You mean these wheels

I only have one of them left ... sold the other 3 ... they were in immaculate condition ... not a mark on them ... and 80% rubber too.

XR6-VCT-2000 · 31-03-2006, 10:52 PM

same rims as mine in that picture above , i like them too , just the pattern of the rim facing the opposite way on the other side disapoints me a bit ( would of been nice to have 2 left and 2 right rims, instead of 4 identicle rims , oh well , still very nice rims imo for standard'ish rims .

DENKO · 31-03-2006, 11:15 PM

yeh im selling the same rims for $400 with tyres Mechan1k, anyone want them for $400 with tyres?

I don't like those at all! Horses for courses, of course!

Finally someone else who agree's with me. I prefer the cloverleaf style to the "buzzsaw" look too.

MNM96 · 01-04-2006, 09:23 AM

Those wheels, with the Bob Jane Bathurst 1000 tyres, nearly turned me from an XR to, God I don't know??!

I put a set of the SER I CLover jobbies onto dads BA. Looks much better than the Stockies. Quite suits, I reckon.

**Polyal** · 01-04-2006, 03:22 PM

they look alot better on a BA than an AU thats for sure!

They do look good on the BA, but I reckon they look a bit busy in contrast the the more quiet lines of the BA, if you get what I mean!

Here is a link to the wife's au1 futura wagon with the rims in question...

Bucknaked · 02-04-2006, 12:00 PM

I think the 2 worst rims ever designed for the AU are the clover leaf and these

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

GlennBA · 02-04-2006, 12:26 PM

those 5 spoke XLS rims look great imo.. there used to be a monsoon series 3 SR wagon with those rims up my street, looks awesome

Casper · 02-04-2006, 04:43 PM

I'll say the 16" clover leaf rims suited GK's wagon EXCEPTIONALLY well. The difference from them to the old 15" futura rims was massive.

Casper · 02-04-2006, 05:47 PM

Certainly suits the wagon a hell of a lot better than my XR6.

GK · 02-04-2006, 06:00 PM

I'm really happy with them. Immediate difference in handling and feel, less road noise at speed also. They look absolutely great too!

Selling the 15inch tyres to your neighbour on the spot was a huge bonus too Casper! LOL!

You were right of course, there was no way I was going to put them on the car again. I had no real use for them, as the SR has 16's as well!

Somedays are diamonds. I dont even think your tyres had cooled down before they were rolled away to a new home.. and you got your money back on them.

Yum-Yum · 02-04-2006, 06:24 PM

Bwahahahahaha that's gotta be one of the biggest bonus's when buying rims, having ya old one's sold on the spot, on ya GK!!! and yeah they do suit your wagon really well.

That would look really good indeed. It's not likely to happen though! Well not for a long time, got no more money for mods at the moment.

I appreciate the sentiment though! LOL!

Racecraft · 02-04-2006, 06:57 PM

they look like hubcaps :(

not a fan sorry

GlennBA · 02-04-2006, 06:59 PM

That looks 100% better GK. I hate those futura 15's!

Casper · 02-04-2006, 07:02 PM

The pictures dont actually do it justice. Once we put the first one on the rear and compared them it was no contest. The other 3 were on in quick succession and the wagon looked heaps better. The difference between a 205/65 and a 225/50 in width is massive when you put them together. The car just looks beefier and going from 65 series 300e's to 50 series 3000a's would be a massive step in handling.
