Thanks Mate.
Looking at buying a BA xt Falcon and it only has the steel rims, so I am thinking about keeping the alloys off the Futura.
One dealer tried to tell me they wouldn't fit.

They'll fit if they're 16" or greater.

And ... to add to this ... I have S2/3 5-spoke XR 17" Tickford rims on my BFII XLS ute.
They were much better than the stock 16" rims that came with it ... and in better condition.

The old AUII ute looked tough on steelies though ... dealer had it on the yard with replacment steelies with the XR kit and lowered it looked surprisingly good.
