My picks:

Magnum 500


Azzuro



Kelsey Hayes (As problematic as they were)



Turbine




And I cannot locate a photo, but the AU3 Fairmont Ghia wheels look great. Plus I like the usual 12 slots, globes, etc. But we all know what they look like.

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.

The Rebel wheels were also used on the T1 & T2 TS50/TL50 but just ended up with the Rebel tag. I also like them and have them on my XR8.
1. TS50 five spokes
2. Cobra Bathurst globes
3. Tickford Rebels

I'm assuming this is open to Ford wheels worldwide

I'm going with 05/06 Ford GT Supercar wheels... who can say no to 11.5" rears?:

Bah again its hard to compare the old stuff with the new...

Old - Globes

New - DJR BBS's are awesome, but to be fair to the factory I thought the original F6 rims were a good effort.



Also the original GT rims..

Sprint / SVO 16's. Simple design, but very AMG-style and just look great on these cars, hence why I bought SVOs.



Also love the T3 5-spokers, and for something with a bit of subtlety, BA Mk1 GT-Ps
