+1 for that comment.

If I had the $ I'd certainly be looking into a set of those rims for my own AU, ever since I first saw those rims I just wanted some!!!

They REALLY suit the AU in the original post too. If you have the money to spend on those rims, all the better for you, and go for it I say!

(I'm assuming the pic is a chop to see how it would look and not the real deal. If I'm wrong, please correct me).

It looks nice enough, but there are better rims out there than these, IMO. If you get them cheap enough, go for them, but if you are buying them new, just look around at the after-market; there are hundreds of rims that kill these.

Yep they do look great but to me no point putting on 18's when for a little more 19's are a motza to buy....
When Ford start making factory rims with a 9" wide rear I'll be the first to buy !
