looking great - are they the e-series offset copies ? or genuines if they're the copies, how much did you pay ? I'd love a set of those on the EB.

Hey guys thanks for all your feedback! The wheels are 19" Fpv Gt-P copies, made to fit e-series offset, so no need for spacers. I bought them from the trading post, brand new wheels, slightly used rubber but in excellent condition- practically new! Then had my rear gaurds lipped as the 255's where rubbing on the rear (235's at the front), cost me $1,650 in total.

EDXR6T - ed ghia interior.. is tempting.. bastard! :nutsycuck
XRated - Hey Luke this is something ive thought about aswell, but have never looked into it.
Fantz - Thats a good price, don't know how much extra the tyres would cost though. Wheels Direct have wheels/tyre packages for $2499 for the GT-P copies with new rubber.<link>I'm sure you can get them for cheaper than that. Make sure you shop around.
MADNC_8 - Wayne, they will definately look awesome on the NC ;)
Sick EB - lol i work in the city. You must have seen me around Elizabeth st.

Anyone selling an electric e-series sunroof? I soo want one! :sm_drool:

Thanks guys! I'm pretty happy with how the car is looking at the moment. Have a few more mods planned, should turn out better hopefully. I've been thinking about putting on a sprint kit for a while now, but still undecided if i should or not. I probably won't end up doing it, but then again who knows i might.

It was a private purchase. I know The Tyre Factory is also doing wheels/tyre packages of the same copies, but don't know how much they're asking.

yeah i've wanted one for years... and now i have one. I know that doesn't help you in the slightest. I had the choice of buying one for the EL, and a set of extractors, but then the EB came along, with both of those items already and a BUNCH more, for the same price it was going to cost me for the roof and headers :P

which brings me to my next statement, LTDHO has/had an EB Ghia V8 with a sunroof in it for sale, maybe you should buy that :P It'd go nicely sitting next to the XR. Not sure if he still has it though ?

Nothing will ever beat your White EA with polished AJR'S on the front, and polished turbo blades on the back, and car bra, so we couldn't see the EL XR6 engine conversion.

But this is a DAMN close second ;)
