It has often been said my taste is in my butt, but, if the rain photo is not photoshopped then beautiful.

I'd go with the Typhoons, look so much better, and bigger and wider so you can run bigger tyres too. |

I like the F6 rims on the F6, for some reason they just look wrong on every other car I've seen them on. I prefer the look of the FTR's.

I had EL GT rims (copies) on my EF (with a EL XR kit on it) and I thought they looked the goods. However I still think the stockers look the best.
Stocks look great on your car, only improvement I could think of would be the same style in 17s. Some company was doing a rim in the stock style in 17 inch at one stage, always wished I put a set of these on the car. |

Both wheels look nice. But I have to admit, a el xr is simply a beautiful looking car. Despite the rims you choose.
One of the ford gems in the stable for sure. El xr I put it with the ba xr8, just beautiful looking cars. |

FTR's. Twists are nice, but the ftr's are nicer

On that particular car, the originals look sweet...!
They suited the E-series shape perfectly.

I think the twisties suit the e-series better then they do BA-FGs.
F6 Twisties for sure mate |

F6 rims look the best of the two. Best wheels I had on my EF where 19" BA2 GT-P's.
