yeah, I am not sure about the colour of the white rims (10' on back 7' on front) but what colour? Not the car colour (Ford burnt orange - with the ford dealers chocalate brown strip) Maybe a metalic colour?
My brother has an XB coupe in orange with argent silver 12 slotters (10's and 7's) with chrome centre caps and it looks great.
Maybe some deep dish Cragars?
I guess I just associate those sort of white spoke wheels with F100's or speedway cars.
I've not seen a coupe with a stripe like that before but it does compliment it well, how about some interior shots.

Haven't got my calculator head on tonight , but when Dad was keeping records of our XB ( I know , wrong size 302) but he was constantly getting 26-28 "mpg" out of it , and I don't think I'm far behind him , I've got a Light Foot also .

The car that suited the 250 the best was the TC/D 4sp Cortina's , Faclon drivetrain and light body , a very "underated car".
