Arrow Rims Required

Hi everyone.
i am looking to upgrade from the 15'' rims i got the car with.

i have been looking around an have chosen 2 different rims that i think would suit both my budget and my car.

i have chosen either:
-el gt 17'' gold rims (see pic)
-or some aftermarket BA XR8 18'' (that will fit an eb)

if anyone has these rims can they please contact me

thanks
Matthew

i will sell you a set of ba 18's with brand new tyres alll round for $1000.
as long as you dont have a problem with two of them using spacer plates as two are ea-el offset and two are au-bf offset. worked fine for me. where are u located?

Go for the BA rims, they suit EA-ED better than the EL GTs.

yes i have the spacer plates and i have wheels nuts for all 4 wheels. just need nuts for the spacer plates. u can use stocko wheels nuts off any falcon to replace these(15 inch stocky wheels nuts i mean). reason i dont have the spacer plate nuts is i rounded them off with a dodgy socket.

so if ur still interested, PM me and we can organise pick-up or payment.

This guy on ebay was sellinh BAXR8 & EL GT 17", yes the add has ended but maybe you can pm him and ask if he has any in stock - he is based in melbs and they are pre+au fitment.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....EWA%3AVRI&rd=1

And yes wheels direct are good but you have to add $100 for pre+au fitment
