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.

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

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..

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..

just a quick comment on the spacers, i got them on my ef and havent had one moments trouble and they handle the same, my wheels and spacers can be sold if anybody wants to give me an offer,
