CLICK HERE and it will give you their old post for contact details and what wheels they had for sale.

Some guy had 19" Cobras in the For Sale Section - the ones with white inners - he wanted $600 for them with tyres

I have to agree with the fella who has leprosy in this thread. BA-BF wheels look homosexual on older falcons. It's a bit like the old VB-VL and VN-VS brigade with the newer body kits on the older cars looking like try hards. I'm just giving my opinion.
