My old man today told me i was stupid to waste money on new wheels and said if i hated the factory el fairmont rims so much he would be prepared to do a straight swap for a set of good condition turbo blades of his EBII fairmont sedan. Thay r a nice looking wheel any one seen eF & EL with these rims? any opinions would be great. here r some pics of the two cars?

Why not swap them over and take a photo side-on? Shouldn't take too long :Reverend:

Turbo blades don't look good on EF/ELs. They don't look great on X-series Falcons either, they are really only suited to the EA-ED shape imo.

My Grandfathers EF had turbo blades on. I don't think it looked that bad. And my mother's XD has them as well, but she doesn't look after the car, so the whole thing looks wrong.

Having said that i've got a set of turbo blades in the garage that i'll put on if the need arises lol.

There's a mint ZL with turbo blades that I see around Morwell. It's an odd car, because it looks slightly lowered (maybe?) and has tinted windows (again, maybe?), but has a sun visor
 : The wheels suit the car, it looks great! Except the visor... But it's growing on me -Dave- |

'blades look great on late Xseries like XE/XF IMO. They look wrong on a EF/EL
