E-Series will have to run staggered offset hub adaptors.

He is looking to get 18-19's in the next couple of months or so..

Why would you need to run staggered offset adapters?

You would just get +35 fronts and +45 rears, they would sit the same as on an AU-FG?

I rang the guy at Top Tyres, and this is what he told me, so maybe he doesn't have the full complement of different offsets?

Anyway, I would consider a set of these in 18-19" ...I think the 20's are a little too big for anything that isn't body-kitted out in a big way.

They look great, I enquired about them and the center caps say "MC Racing" for those that think it say Simmons it doesn't. $2500 with tyres for the Non-staggered set.

Vertinis are just as good IMO, I'd love a set of Vertinis fairlady blacks, awesome looking rim. Wouldn't suit the barge but.

Lol. Chimmons RF20z represent. I'm guessing they aren't a 3 piece wheel?

I guess that knt that was going to manufacture his own will be shitting bricks about now.

Are you sure it's 5 wheels at that price?

Why would there be 5 wheels? A set is generally 4 and if you were to get a staggered set then you'll be up shit creek with a spare

The 5 means 5 stud.

Dayum! I love the idea of being able to afford a fr style rim, but the fronts on that fg look crap! Fr's look awful without decent dish. Guess the 9.5's +35 would fit the front of an el with 20-25mm spacers, then you lose the whole staggered look. :-(

EF/EL don't need staggered look, we can run decent dish front/rear :)

They've lost all the prestige of being semi unique now. Don't think anyone with a half decent build would buy them unless they were only going to keep them for a few months before everyone else has them. The front wheels on the FG look arse because of the lack of dish - the whole Simmons look is something that comes from the epic dish.

Yeah we can run decent dish on the front but we can run epic dish on the rear with 3 piece rims. If only these were offered in a 10 or 10.5" rear, it'd nearly satisfy.

Got it spot on sundeep. Never = the uniqueness of a real fr. In saying that I've seen plenty of datto's and mazda's as well sporting genuines that look crap coz of the lack of dish. Wish they'd leave em to people that had the room to play.

Not much different really then the Te37 argument. I'm considering the varrstoen copies only because It'll be a long time until I can afford genuine Volks and the cheaper copies actually are offered with decent specs. Plenty of decent builds with imitation wheels though...

It's a shame they're limited to only 18x8 and 18x9.
They really should at least have a 18x10 option.
