| They would need hub adapters to fit an XF, making them kind of expensive for what they are, but if they are what you want, maybe thats no prob. I am told they are illegal though. |

As has already been said, they're AU, and won't fit any pre-AU Falcon without using adapters, so not worth it. There are better wheels you could get if you're after a set of wheels... |

WOW those wheels look s**t. Each to their own i guess.
What was going through fords mind when they put wheels on the xr6's. EF had FTR's, and they got it right. Then EL's had those awful 6 spoke things then these on early AU's. I dont get it. |

its true they are s**t looking, but they were FREE and so were the tyres...... and to be honest anything is better then the stock rims and hubcups thats on the ute at the moment.

Actually the EF XR6 had some other 5 spokers (well really 5 groups of 2 spokes) as standard. The FTRs were an option on both EF and EL. |

| $250 for spacers soon makes the wheels not free. Should peel the good rubber off them then go to a wrecker and ask to swap for an E series offset rim. |
