Default E Series wheels... what's the best?
Ey guys... not planning on getting wheels anytime soon, but always looking around. Can't decide what I would actually want to get. Always like the AU2 XR wheels. But, what other tickford/ford wheels you think suit? (aswell as aftermarket).

Care to post some pics of your cars and wheels? (prices would also be great)

Cheers...

I just ordered myself a set of AU II XR style wheels for the EF, so I may be a little bias :P

Here's a couple of pics of my EL Fairmont with my new BA XR8 rims. I love how it looks.

Are those only 17" instead of 18"? And it appears that there is some dish to the wheel, they are not flat like on the BA's.
How much did they set you back out of interest?

There was an optional 16” wheel in the EB and ED’s, it looked roughly like a 1-piece version of the Simmons FR wheel. I think they were made by CSA.

Hey Jared I saw you cruising down Glenferrie Rd. today man your car looks so tuff and horny! It looks fricken fantastic in real life, that picture doesn't do it justice. I was sitting in front of Subbers with my friends and they didn't know what I was on about.

As for wheels, see my avatar! Only a couple of weeks now...

I like the ROH ZS as well, a mate had them in 16" on his R31 GTS Skyline (Aust, not import), looked nice on that.
