BA XR rims seem to suit the early eseries, i don't think EL GT's are that suited to the early eseries.

EL GT's would only look nice if your car was a dark shade IMO. But i agree not really suited to early e-series.
FTR's are good all round.
And with the AU and BA's...do you want the little slit or not pretty much :P

Well, i'm not a real fan of any of those wheels :P. As much as i like EL GT's. they're too common. I'd go for the BA XR's in 18", purely because in 17's they look too chunky and weird.

go AU1 17's ;)

out of the wheels you have selected i would go the AU2's as well, the rest wont suit white to well. except for the EL XR rims which suit anything.

but these days i prefer smaller rims as these cars look jacked up with anything bigger than 16's on unless you get some really damn low springs!

Why not look for somthing different?

As someone said before, AU2's on white ea/d's look good, even though im not a fan of the wheels.

Just imagine a set of 18's on my car! You probably wouldn't be able to stop laughing!

Anyway, theboss290, I reckon the BA XR8 rims would look really good on your car.
