**** no

another $300 can get you some brand new 18's with tyres & warranty etc etc.

by **needfordspeed** » September 8th, 2009, 7:13 pm

I'd never pay $1k for SVO's they're 16"

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » September 8th, 2009, 7:17 pm

plus there ugly

by **CHEETR** » September 8th, 2009, 7:20 pm

i dont want 18's...

i have 20z atm, im looking for something a bit smaller as the car is a daily.

ill leave 20z on the weekender, but the 20z are taking their toll on the eb, cant find any simmons so im thinking other avenues.

has to be 3piece or some form of tuff ford wheel... dont want anything generic like bloody gtp rims and typhoon rims and crap they look shit.

by **FordFairmont** » September 8th, 2009, 7:42 pm

what about 17" EL GT copies?

they might interest u.

by **private9** » September 8th, 2009, 11:24 pm

They do look fairly clean, but that's an awful lot of money for them.

I had some 17" EL GTs in silver, and they looked quite good, and a little different.

AJR Directors look great on EA-ED IMO if you're after a cheaper alternative to Simmons.

by **CHEETR** » September 9th, 2009, 12:26 pm

its ok guys, i bought a set of AJR's for $500 today.

anyone know what size the rims are? as i have to buy 2 new tyres but not picking up the wheels till friday.

by **EFFalcon** » September 9th, 2009, 12:36 pm

what kind of AJR's?

AJR's come in 3 different styles.

Directors/Signitures/Finns

Most common is Signitures, then Directors, then Finns.

They were available in 16-18" and being 3 piece can be any width.

however.. generally they're 17x8

by **CHEETR** » September 9th, 2009, 12:42 pm

all good, i just rung the bloke they are 16's with a fair bit of dish on em, organised tyres and stuff so they go on friday and the 20z with bloody adapters come off

by **bigdell** » September 9th, 2009, 1:28 pm

el gt's then paint the centre and spokes in black and leave a silver lip.
not to sure what it would look like but would be different.

by **Dansedgli** » September 9th, 2009, 1:29 pm

What do AJR Finn's look like?

by **pHaT`eL** » September 9th, 2009, 1:51 pm

Multispoke rims, kinda like Azzuro's but with dish

Fin (the better looking ones):

by **EFFalcon** » September 9th, 2009, 1:59 pm

oops... i missed one style

by **CHEETR** » September 9th, 2009, 2:10 pm

the ones i got are the ones on that el but in 16inch

by **EFFalcon** » September 9th, 2009, 2:21 pm

They're signatures.

They're not very common in 16's

by **bigdell** » September 9th, 2009, 4:53 pm

black el gt's

A friend looked at a set of 16" signatures a month or two ago for a similar price, and they had fine cracks on two rims. As quoted by the wheel place he got a repair quote from, "AJR's are a shit wheel". Apparently the outer rims are soft as butter and the centres are brittle and prone to cracking (which I'd agree with, having bent two outers and cracked one centre). They look great though, and being 3 piece, shit is fixable.

Check them for cracks closely

by **EFFalcon** » September 9th, 2009, 8:32 pm

agreed.
I've got 2 AJR's with bent outers.
i've got 1 AJR with a cracked inner
and 1 AJR with a badly cracked centre.

saying that, most copped big hits.

by **SnyperEB** » September 9th, 2009, 8:36 pm

I got my 20's for cheaper!!

by **Dezza** » September 9th, 2009, 9:28 pm

IMO 20s are too big for e-series. I see this whole "bigger is better" philosophy as someone who's compensating for something else

I must admit I paid about a grand for my SVOs over 2 years ago, and I know I paid way too much. They are a great looking wheel, and I reckon the 16's suit my car perfectly.

by **CHEETR** » September 10th, 2009, 3:52 pm

well thanks for the heads up boyz.

went to look at them, all the way over to fucking thomastown and 2 rims had hair line fractures in them.

going to leave the 20z on now, and wait for some decent simmons to come up either 16inch V5's with heaps of dish or some fr's 17's,18's or 19's.. depends what comes up...

i have been right through all the wreckers, all over trading post, ford mods, ford forums, ebay... nothing that really stands out, not even a decent set of 17inch ajr's.

i'll wait out for something decent though.

by **EFFalcon** » September 10th, 2009, 4:00 pm

Good thing you checked eh.
Pretty harsh that the guy wasnt upfront about it.

by **CHEETR** » September 10th, 2009, 4:14 pm

yer it was actually a wreckers ... no shock there ey

glad i posted up first though, would have never really checked for fractures in a 3piece wheel

by **oneredED** » September 10th, 2009, 7:55 pm

Fark! I'm glad I said something!

by **bentls** » September 10th, 2009, 9:02 pm

yeh u owe oneredED a beer lol...
on that note i reckon a set of EB GT's would look good... also maybe some EB ghia rims...? or those wheels sunny used to have t3 pursuit wheels or whatever they were...

by **CHEETR** » September 11th, 2009, 11:57 am

na i have eb ghhia rims in the backyard.. dont like em.

im keeping the 20z now but on the look out for some simmons for track use
