here's a $5 bet that when you call up for your 'pre-au' GTPs you get a set of gtps and a set of adapters.

I would get a set, but I can guarantee every second other EF/EL is going to have them within a few months as well.

I saw these advertised in the Melbourne Trading post as well - I would add the link for the web version of the Trading Post BUT it would take me too long to find the actual add.

Here's a photoshop I did a while ago with those rims. I also did a coupe conversion, tinted the windows and lights, and extended the bumpers, side skirts, etc.
