It will look mint. No pics required. I have seen them on a few EA/B/Ds and definitely looks good.

Anyway...
I reckon they suit all e-series cars, they are a nice stylish rim... A little common, but a nice rim none-the-less.

they look a bit different to the genuine ones....but they still look allright.. make sure to lower it pretty much asap after getting the rims....nothing looks worse than a car with nice rims and stock ride height |

the 17's FTR copies look alittle tacky on anything.. in my opinion.
In 16" i think theyre just right.

just get them, i actually saw a set of 17 ftr's on an eb the other day, they looked better than i thought being the non genuine ones.
ive got the 16in ones on my EL, was thinking of painting them black for something different, but well wait and see. |
