by **burnt turtle** » January 17th, 2008, 10:40 am

hi everybody im new to this site and i have a EBII wit superlows its green atm but in a week im gettin it sprayed jet black, i just have a set of el concord (gold) wheels on it atm but am looking 4 something bigger and beta, does anybody have any wheels they are selling or any suggestions, please help as i can't seem 2 find the rite wheels i want anywhere, it doesn't help that there is only a small choice of aftermarket rims 4 e-series, i am willing to put adaptors on if i find the rite wheels at the rite price.

mate i got some XHP Shorlines in 19's forsale

PM me if your keen

by **pHaT`eL** » January 17th, 2008, 3:22 pm

Theres enough rims out there that will suit E-Series. Numerous copy rims in the right offset are around. AU-BA XR8, BA GTP, BA-BF Typhoon. Got your older stuff like ELGT copies, Koya make some rims in our offset, so does ANZ (Mayhem, Tycoon).
As said, just check out the Showroom or Build threads, your sure to find something you like.

Pats XHP's go great with XR fronts, hes got one of them for sale too

they need hub adaptors coz they r au offset, does anybody have any complaints wit the adaptors iv herd they make the car handle like a bitch and that they put extra strain on ur studs does anyone agree or anythin?

thats them on mine.

there AU/BA offset so i got huby's aswell...
I had these wheel's on mine for about 4-6 months had no issue with the way it handled and no wheel's feel off over that time.

ive been pulled over with hub adaptors and coper looked straight past them. plus you cant even see them thru these wheel's

Ive seen a few copies getting about in 19's... And the ones with the blacked out back on them? They do look good tho, need to be big and have the car low as they are fair chunky!

Yeh the cobras definatly look better on the car than on the shelf.... 19'S FTW tho. Kester will have the last laugh but, 18 inch tyres are cheap as nowadays. Hopefully decent 19's will become more affordable too..

What wheels ya getting?

Konig unknowns are massively hot in the silver and gold finish, theyd suit a falcon also.. Other than that I like Rays Five-spokes in gunnmetal grey but they only really suit jap imports.. If you're interested in some rims my mate put new ones on his vp so he has the old ones sitting at home, one needs to be fixed i think but the others are good, lemme know if you want pics/price..

by **EDFalcon** » January 23rd, 2008, 11:41 am

VP rims wont fit an EB..

by **halo** » January 23rd, 2008, 2:33 pm

really yeh I just know he had some that looked pretty decent.. yeh the clearances would be different you're right.

by **pHaT`eL** » January 23rd, 2008, 2:57 pm

Id say the offset and stud pattern would be pretty far off

by **burnt turtle** » January 24th, 2008, 11:47 am

by **GangstaEF** » February 12th, 2008, 10:36 pm
