Hey guys,
I'm new to forums so go easy on me if I'm doin somethin wrong.
I'm currently building an el xr8 with a blown coyote motor in it n I'm trying to get it ready for Motorvation in Perth soon but I'm having a lot of trouble finding wheels to suit an EL???
I've been looking into Asanti custom wheels from the states but ther also roughly $1500 per rim not including tires so I'd prefer to pay less than that for a car that's gonna b doin a lot of burnouts.
Does anyone know we're I can find wheels to suit?
Thanks guys
Callum

Preferably 20s. 20x8 on the front and 20x10 on the rear but anything close will be good enough. These wheels will only be used for car events with burnouts so ill b buying show wheels too for show n shine.
The type I'm after is a wheel not too fancy maybe a 5 spoke with a dish. Colour doesn't matter I can get it powder coated.
It's getting a 4 link put in the rear end now so ill take some photos when it gets back from there.
Cheers

Yea not too keen to run wheel spacers while doin burnouts tho. I want to keep all wheels the same, just looking for a cheaper option than wat I'm being quoted by Asanti so if I scratch one during a skid I won't cry myself to sleep.
Do they make replica FPV wheels for E series cars anymore?

By something like Work/Enkei/WEDS wheels. Cheaper than $1500 each. More like $600-1k each.

Koya wheels do great packages with custom offset to +15 or +10 for under $2800 I believe.
