Dudes, what do u reckon r the best lookin rims for the ea/b etc.
I have a ghia so naturally the Ghia rims which i reckon look sik, specially lowered r tha best. Polished even better.

If I could find wheels that looked heaps better then the Ghia wheels, at a reasonable price, I would have them.

I reckon the best looking wheel for an EA is polished FR's, 17 or 18".
I put on my mates set once *drool*

But there a little too pricey for this car.

polished wheels

KK don't know about in Sydney. Look in the Yellow pages but get a few quotes, and if you can, pop into these places to get quotes so they can see the rims. First price i was quoted was $65 a rim alot around $50 over the phone and the cheapest i have had was $30 and this guy was looking at my rims. I will do this when i find alternate wheels to get around in for a few days.

Re: fav wheels

hehe good work Bass... and Kenaz too. I think the EA is one of only a few cars that looks respectable with 14" wheels. For the AU, even 15" proved too small.

Re: rim & tyres

PHIL82,

The important thing is do they look good to you?
Do you want or can you afford anything else?
Is the car an everyday user or weekend/show special?

It's your choice!

Me, I have 205/65/15's on factory Classic alloy rims on the ED. The car is used everyday as a family car, mainly driven by my wife.

Sure, I fantasize about 17"+ rims but I know I'll never buy them for this car the way it's used and considering what there worth and what you sacrifice.

rims & tyres

FordRaptor

I agree, my 225/60/15 tyres all-round have worn out and I only can afford 205/65/15 sized tyres.

My EA is mostly driven daily and on weekends and runs for many kilometres so I suggest going for 205's is the only solution.

Having the pursuit rims dipped in melted chrome would be nice!

Has anyone lowered their EA 1.5 inches with 205/65/15 tyres? Look sik?

mags

Hey... I personally think 15 inch wheels look good on EA/EB and ED's. Fat tyres match older model cars.

I love Simmons mag wheels... looks nice.

17 inch wheels would suit the Ford Falcon EF onwards.

It's your personal choice really.
