Default Concorde wheels onto EB?

Hey guys, im wanting peoples opinion on my possible choice of wheels for my EB. What do you think of either Silver or Gold NL Fairlane Concorde wheels onto my Reef Green EBII Fairmont?
Any other Ford rim suggestions would be great.

Thanks Guys. Trav.

They were fitted to NL Concordes in Gold and NF Sportsman's in Silver.

It was that plane that flew over the speed of sound....Don't know how an EB would look with an approx. 60 inch lift though! E-Series Bigfoot?

Ive got a set that I am getting some "work" done to..cant wait once its done.

I think they are awesome, not to mnay people have them and they are pretty classy IMO.

Good luck finding the gold ones though, I looked for a while then got over it really quickly.

I was thinking about getting some of these for my car buit went 17's instead

But to see them on a EBII would look awesome.

Put a Thread up in "Photoshop" and get ask someone in there to mock up a pic of your car with those wheels on it...then you can see what it would like like with Gold or Silver Concorde Rims.

I'll try an get a pic of mine. I don't have a scanner but i'll see if I can take a digital photo of the one regular photo I have of it. Its a Rosewood EB Fairmont 5 litre, dumped, dark windows, clear indicators and the gold rims. As far as i'm aware they were the last set Rex Gorell Ford had in stock, and that was around 6 years ago. They would be very hard to find now.

I've always been a big fan of the Concorde wheels. If they made a big enough size I would have put them on my EF but I wanted 17in. The gold wheels work best with rich, dark colours but the silver may also look good on a green car.
