Default 12 Slotters on an EL
Anyone here have 12 Slotters on their EF-El, Or have a pic of what it looks like?

I wanna lower my EL and get a nice fat set of 12 slotters for it.

Anyone?

That would look awesome.

Maybe someone is really good at photoshop and can make one up.

I've seen one or two ELs with 12 slotters. The cars weren't lowered so it didn't look as good. Car needs to be lowered to have 12 slotters i reakon, doesn't look right otherwise.

As long as the globes are 15". 14" globes are just as bad as jelly beans.

If you like the look of older design 15 odd inchrim go for some WELDs or CRAGARS I saw a red el dumpt with a set of fat cragars on it and it did look pretty tough, and i usually hate the look of 15" wheels on an e-series

12 SLOTTERS DO NOT BELONG ON ANY E-SERIES!!

If you want cheap, but stock 15".

This is the best post I have read in E-series for a while.

If you do put 12 slotters on an EL please DON'T post pics.

I think one of the issues here is money and 12 slotters are cheap - if he could afford Welds or Cragars I think he would more likely go a good set of 17" for the same price.

Interceptor rims look better than 12 slotters but each to their own
