iv'e always loved the el gt rims.. But an original, non marked set is very hard to find i believe

[mitsas17]

I would consider swapping the typhoon twists for another set..
But i want wheels that are in perfect condition
and not many people want to buy 18's! which is unfortunate

Polished Silver Face with Silver Painted Inserts

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.

[Ben73]

First set look the best out of the 2

[Marquis]

Machine polish the stoko's. Luv cobalt el xr's. They would put a horn on a jellyfish.

EL GT's were only 17's.


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

[Franco Cozzo]

They both look good but the original wheels look the best IMO

[5_speed]

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.

[RAPID_BA]

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.

[XR6T0Y]

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

[Pepscobra]

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

[AndyXR6T]

I think the twisties suit the e-series better then they do BA-FGs.

F6 Twisties for sure mate

[mitsas17]

Thanks so much for everyone's opinion!
I'd reply to all posts individually but unfortunately i'd be here all night

Thanks a lot!
And please, whoever hasn't voted or for anyone who has an opinion, feel free to let it out!

unfortunately, these were as wide as i could go, or else it would hit the guard.

What size tyres are you using, i've got 235's on the front and 265's on the rear, 18x8 BF GT copies.

Front gaurds are rolled and haven't had any issues with rubbing. Rear tyres actually could have been wider, there's still room.

[BPXR6T]

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

I saw a set a few years ago and they were stunning. When the sun hits all the angles they are drool worthy. Maybe a photo chop can be done. Not sure on that sort of stuff though. 18 mths or so I will be doing this when I get an xr.

im guessing it would be very pricey though!?
