Well im in the market for a sexy set of 19' wheels! i dont know what to get and whats available in the e-series offset! i know theres the old amg wheels and roh wheels but im looking for something newer and different. Dont want to get into the replica wheels as to many people have them. Any ideas? What are spacers/hub adapters like?

Don't use adapters man, you already know the risks involved with them, not worth it.
I still reckon the 19" MkII Typhoon wheels would suit your GT kit well. Otherwise how about some FR19's but theres a massive price involved with Simmons! How about the FPV Cobras with either the white inners to suit your paintwork or the black inners (off the GT 40th Anniversary) which would look tough and suit the inner parts of your GT kit.

Do you want chrome, alloy or black?
In PRE+AU very limited amount of wheels available - if your going to use hub adapters then there is 1,000s if wheels available. Here are some in pre+au:- Then there are the 11 diff styles from WheelMags:- CLICK HERE You dont want a FORD replica wheels but if you fit one with Hub Adpaters all you will be doing is fitting a Rim that everyone sees on Holdens unless you want to spend the big bucks Good thing about replica wheels is their re-sale, you will always get a good price for them when you want to sell them and trade to 20"s, i am sure the replica wheels will go to 20"s in the near future. Re-Salel on Commy wheels, um dont know but cheap How much do you want to spend on wheels and tyres is another question |

Im a real big fan of those apec huskys!! Ive seen them on ebay and really like them with the chrome inserts as apposed to the black or red. I wonder if they come in 19"?

I also quite like these wheels

As i said wheels you see on a Holden rather than Ford Replica Wheels :
I think the Husky's only come in 18"s There are also CSA Retros which go to 19"s and Showwheels Streeter but they only come in 18"s Also i am pretty sure Showwheels will make custom wheels for pre+au As I said all depends on what you want to spend.......... 19" Pre+AU Dark Agent Rims with Nexen 3000 tyres $1,820.00 Last edited by Sorted; 28-07-2008 at 03:38 PM. |

I think the apec range can come in a 10 offset.. which would work with e series, isn't it 6? they seem to have all the different sizes to

Im at my gfs place so this is the only pic i have access to at the moment. Ill put some more up when i get home. Im still trying to find some EB GT flares and skirts but theyre proving difficult to find right now and ill decide whether to lower it more or not when I et the 19's on as they should raise the ride height a little when i get them on. braden has a couple of photos as well.

That looks TUFF, nice ride - first mod before wheels pay $100 and get Black and White Number Plates or any other colour as when they are bad like yours are they stick out like dogs balls against clean cars
More pics side shot |

Yeah i know, ive got the cash, but I want custom plates and Ive decided I want and NEED wheels more than i need number plates right now! The ftrs just look tiny. I plan on getting the plates with the money i get from selling the ftrs hopefully.
