Agreed! If you've got the cash, these are the only choice as far as I'm concerned.

BA II Rims arent too common "yet". Yes the Simmons are different and yes they're a fantastic looking rim, im sure a lot of people on here would love a set, i know i would, but they are quite pricy compared to alot of the other rims out there. Also, there is not a massive range of rims that fit e-series without the need for spacers/hub adaptors.

Yes the 15 inch Spac wheels are the only choice!

do it, do it, do it!

If you can't find a set of them, FR18's would be second choice.
