AU XR 17" in e-series offset. were on the car when i got it but were bought in 03 for 1800 with crappy jappo tyre package

by **Commando** » January 21st, 2009, 8:17 pm

Contra J-Spec (whatever) 16x9s.

^^^ old pic

$800 with rubber (pricey I know for 16s), bought them off ebay 2-3 years ago. Ended up replacing the hoops anyway because they were too low-profile, previous owner had them on a drift-spec RX7. There's a dude on pertheseries.com with similar rims, except his have less dish and are 17s.

Beware 16" rims though, getting decent rubber for them is a bastard.

by **EF ECTIV** » January 21st, 2009, 8:28 pm

I used to have AMG Quakes in 18inch.... got them from a mates workshop
back 4years or so ago for $1600ish with new tyres....

by **Dumpsta** » January 21st, 2009, 8:59 pm

GT-P Copies, 18x8's. $1500 delivered with craphouse tyres.

by **krisisdog** » January 21st, 2009, 9:00 pm

17" BA XRs, originals so I'm running spacers. You can get them in E series offset tho for about a grand with rubber.

by **SnyperEB** » January 21st, 2009, 9:25 pm

I bought mine of a guy in geelong and we have no idea who made them. Alot of people say they a Herrod wheels but I am unsure!

I have had many:
BA XR's
BA GTP 18's
BA GTP 19's
ED Sprint Wheels

And now these ones are the ones I have settled on:

by **Fairmont888** » January 21st, 2009, 9:36 pm

Genuine EL GT wheels, to date they have cost me $2500 to get onto the car

damn i love these rims....
i really dont understand why so many cars here run factory style rims... ie typhoons on ef's, or ftr's on xf's, i mean yeah they look good (most of the time anyway) but they're just the same as the guys down the road....
dont even mention 'interceptors' lol

guy i bought them off (done over ebay from a guy in vic) said they were still very good condition etc so i paid $870 for them, got them and they were stuffed massively scratched, flaking clearcoat, 1 rim was buckled. so repairs cost $700 and then they had $920 tyres put on them

by **Barnsy** » January 22nd, 2009, 7:36 am

Rims: 16x7 Speedy Ravens
Tyres: 225/50/R16 Toyo Proxes 4 - http://www.toyo.com.au/Proxes%204.htm

by **EFFalcon** » January 22nd, 2009, 8:15 am

not 100% sure on the name of these.

says 'A-Dish' on the sticker inside the rim, they're a Japenese Multi-Piece rim.

18x8 on the front, 18x9 on the rear
AU Offset, so using Adapters.
can't remember how much i paid, from memory between $300 and $400 with tyres, 2nd hand on ebay.

by **Allen** » January 22nd, 2009, 8:22 am

16"x8" CSA on the daily driver ED - Cost me $500 with tyres from a mate.

17"x8" Advanti Fluid on the NF (Have since sold them and replaced with 15" EB Spac wheels)
Cost about $700 for the wheels brand new off ebay, and then $700 worth of tyres.

by **YBHVE4** » January 22nd, 2009, 9:06 am

im running 17x8 ROH RT's. These are e-series offset. They were purchased 2nd hand (cant remember what I paid) with a few scratches. They were Shaddow chrome but now are liquid silver.

Reason I went for these because they were cheap, easy as to get rubber, and no insurance issues as no hub adaptors. If adaptors werent a issue i would have bought these Jap AME 18x8 and 18x9 5 spoke wheels with dish from a mate and thrown them on....but oh well...looks alright for a daily runner.

well i reckon its a fact that hub adaptors are legal and can void insurance. Plus was told some stories of hub adaptors going wrong and didnt want to really take the risk then have no cover too.

I agree that there are so many nicer rims esp like commando's and EFFalcon's but all comes to adaptors or not question.

by **1996xr6** » January 22nd, 2009, 9:16 am

check out this site http://wheels.my105.com/ has most new rims in e series offset

I have 19inch GTP copies in eseries offset with 245/35/19 maxxis tyres.... oh and I got them off a ebay store I think they were called mag wheels, for $1000 new and the tyres were $1000 as well from bob jane i think haha

by **Commando** » January 22nd, 2009, 1:41 pm

Mine have no adapters

If John's rims didn't have that convex factor they'd be my favourite by far. As they are they're probably still my favourite rims to ever grace an e-series.

by **EFFalcon** » January 22nd, 2009, 1:46 pm

i agree Dave, they'd be even sweeter if they were eseries offset, would allow the centre to sit flat!

by **Dumpsta** » January 22nd, 2009, 9:47 pm

I reckon they would look horn in 20" with decent dish.. if you google image work eurolines, there are some seriously fat examples.

Sh!t wrong mags, ROH SVO's. 16x7

by **psychotic-angel** » January 27th, 2009, 7:31 pm

mine are 15 inch chevoiet

by **nothin suss** » January 27th, 2009, 7:47 pm

I have DF LTD's on mine at the moment. Moved away from the 'stolen' stockie look for a while, far less attention.
Got them off Ebay for $350ish? Went to collect them and they were no-where near the condition as described. Guy needed coin so i offered him $60. Sweet!
I would love big wheels, have spent the last year looking but still cant decide what to get. 15" tyre prices is great tho i must say.

by **oneredED** » January 27th, 2009, 7:53 pm

17x8" AJR Directors. You can have 'em for $900 (half fuct tyres):

by **tezza bear** » January 28th, 2009, 5:06 pm
