Polished turbo blades beat ANY 15" rim. They look gorgeous on any EA-D.
 Welcome to the forums btw.

Go the EB s pac rims. I used to have some polished when I had my ED and they looked great (they replaced turbo blades).

Ed xr6 rims you say? I'm interested, if your willing to get them off your hands, as i need a cheap set of rims, just to compliment the ED XR front i got, just for a while.

One consideration for you is turbo blades are 6.5" wide, where as EB spack rims are 7" wide.
If you go the turbo blades put the spack caps in the centre so you get the ford badge, looks a lot better.

depending on the tyres you get spac rims can look bigger or smaller... mine look big (i've had a few ppl who refuse to believe they're 15" till they look at the tyre specs) and yet i've seen some with 195's on them and they look tiny...
Bridgestone G`Grid (might be Grid II now) 225's are what I have and I reckon they look tough too... grip ok also except in the wet when u push them (Even then they're not -that- bad )

The 225 Yoko 352s on mine made them look tough as. Would put them on the XD but Globes are tougher.
