Default Best looking Ford wheel ever?
A comment that was made just before made me think; what is the best shaped wheel that ford has ever put onto their cars?

Probably going to be a wide variety of opinions, but just curious.

I actually have 3 favourites, the EF/EL xr FTR wheel, T-series Azzurros and Dark Argents.

So what is your favourite FORD wheel?

I just realised that my most hated Ford wheel and My favourite are both EL XR6 wheels
And have had both on my car.

What a sudden realisation that was. I'm a bit slow sometimes.

Probably best not to say worst wheels though as it may offend some.

They were actually SE wheels. The Concorde wheels were a semi-snowflake style.

You can look to far past the smooth but modest XR8 Rebel 18"x8" seven spoke, alloy 'Speedline' Mags... Personally I find them completing the vehicle from many angles




AHH Ford just put more thought in to there cars without over doing it

Not a Stupid question at all. And the answer is, Yes. The're also the same as T1 & T2 TS50 wheels. Although they have different centre caps.
