Default Set of Wheels.

Hey, not sure if there is already a thread for this, sorry if there is.

I own a Vintage Green (I think) EB Falcon and am interested in getting some new wheels for it. I know many people will have different tastes, but i would like peoples opinions, and possibly pics of their own EB with the wheels.

Something like this is what i had in mind, looking similar to this, LINK HERE. I love this type of design, but i dont have enough money to fork out on genuine BBS (Unless you can recommend a cheap place). So if anyone could recommend me some kick **** looking mags similar to that style that look sweet as on an EB, that would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Looks very similar to my BBS wheels. There are lots and lots of copies on the market so you don't need to spend that sort of money unless you are as obsessive as me.

Just bear in mind the E series Falcon has an unusual offset so that limits the options. The best thing would be looking at pics of already modified E series cars and seeing which wheels you like.

Another option is purchasing good quality adaptors and looking at aftermarker Jap car wheels.

on that option though, bear in mind that your insurance company will not insure you if you run the adapters, no matter how good quality they are.....

this is THE ONLY thing thats stopping me from running a set of AU Azzuro's (TS50 wheels) on my NC

Ah ok lol, thanks.

efgiar, your rims certainly do look nice.

Trouty, the BBS rims in your avater are i think exactly what i am looking for. They look excellent, but the price is what hurts. :(

By the way, the stud pattern for the EB is 5 X 114.3. Should've said that before. :nutsycuck

Cheers for the input guys.
