BA 17's on EA-ED

okin · 07-03-2005, 07:46 PM

Anyone got any photos of an EA/EB/ED with BA XR 17" wheels on? Wondering how they would look.

b2tf · 07-03-2005, 07:47 PM

OED666 has the 18's on his ED I think?

HOON69 · 07-03-2005, 07:51 PM

17" copies I thought?

JADED6 · 08-03-2005, 03:21 AM

Yeh, they're 17" copies of the original BA 18's
I photoshopped some 17" copies of the BA 17''s in this thread.

(i prefer the 17 style over the 18, just a bit more design with the edge rather than the 18's being a flat 5spoke that someone took a grinder to and put a gash in each rim so they didn't look plain)
Both rims are available in 17inch copies for the AU/BA & E-series offsets.

Is there a 18" copy in E-series offset?

They're currently making them

Niko, go and suss Raz's car, same colour as mine, lopped and sitting on BA 17's that'll give you a fair idea, and you can see it in the flesh too.

The 17" copies are cheap as chips atm... The mag shop on the Gold Coast has the sets for $850 or $1350 with rubber... He knocks a bit off for cash too for so around $1300 you get new rims and rubber, thats a good deal imo

thanks guys.

green_monster · 06-04-2005, 05:21 PM

would u need to change shocks or springs from stock to put the 18's on ?

EFFalcon · 06-04-2005, 05:23 PM

no..
but it would look odd as it would sit way too high.

if u did lower it, then u'd most likely have to lip the guards.

green_monster · 06-04-2005, 05:28 PM

ahhso do u know how much it would cost roughly and whats a good drop for an eb S? because i think my suspension is allready tuned from the factory

green_monster · 06-04-2005, 05:29 PM

ps that rear bar on your ef looks mad
is a inspired by the groupA kit?

EFFalcon · 06-04-2005, 05:33 PM

depends basically.
Lowered springs are generally about 250ish for a set (king springs)
and u have a choice of Lows (prolly not much lower then ur car is now)
or superlows (wheels sit about even with the guards)
then u have fitting if u cna't do it yaself, not sure on price of that.

rear bar on mine is actually from a BA XR.

Leave the tow bar i say! The car looks HOT as it is!

SileNceR · 07-04-2005, 07:52 PM

Leave the towbar, if u get rear ended it will save u lots of stress and money

EB-maen · 07-04-2005, 11:11 PM

indeed; towbars are an early version of rear parking sensors
