PM SFR_ROB, he'll know what they are, he used to have a set on his BA fairmont ghia. I doubt they'd come in E series offset though, you'd probably need spacers.

those rims are B.BOSS Eleanors champ. come in 18x8, 19x8 and 20x8.5 sizes. can check out their website, might be bbosswheels.com or something like that, or just google it if it won't work.

not sure how you will get them on your EL without spacers or hub adapters as i've only seen them on BA/F falcons. good job if you do get them, they look unreal.

hope this has helped.

Ken.

not necessarily...Mate I reckon factory rims, no matter how boring (you think they may be) always look better than ugly aftermarket rims (as above). Nothing worse then seeing so many different makes of cars wearing the same aftermarket rims...
Dude, go the ba xr8 rims they will most likely be cheaper and suit your car!

You can get them from The Tyre Factory, pretty bloody expensive IIRC.
