I am currently look to see what rims I will want on my AU, im after something from the current G6E/T range.
So I click on accessories and find that Ford are listing a range of Mullins rims straight off there site. Since when has that been the case and why that brand? None of them look over appealing at all. http://www.ford.com.au/servlet/Conte...=FOA&c=DFYPage For once I was actually after factory options.

it's been the case for quite some time, since the release of the FG. They obviously had calls from the public for more wheel options so they found someone to do it for them.

Not strange that it was mullins, in the days of the BA XR series the wheels were made by mullins.

None of them do it for me.
I just purchased a set of 19" G6ET rims for my BA GHIA,$1000 from a ford dealer in Adelaide,I couldnt say no for that price.

Pity they do not offer a 9.5" rear wheel option for their performance models.
I would spend the $'s on factory 19" that were 9.5" wide for my car.

He said they had "excess stock" the normal price was about $1500,I couldnt believe my luck when he said I could have them for that price,that didnt include the ford centre caps which cost me another $45,he only charged me for three,normally $15 each.
So for $1045 I got a set of brand new ford factory rims,this was after going to a few wreckers who wanted $900+ for BA/BF rims with shagged tyres on them.

They aren't the only dealer selling them at that price. That is about the list price.
Absolute bargain. |
