I am unsure which way to go, ive got an 97 EL Falcon Gli in Cardinal Red. Will be on superlows asap.
I have decided that i like the 16" EL XR ones and the ELGT's 17". What do you guys think? Thanks Paul |

If they are the only two choices then go the 17's. They're both soo damn common these days anyway.

You'll find the 16's to be heaps cheaper. They'll both look good, but unfortunately they're both way too common these days.

17" tyres are REALLY cheap, i doubt the 17's will end up costing much more.

As much as I like the 16' XR rims on my car plus the cool spare in the boot, I really want a set of EL GT rims or a set of XHP Sabers in chrome, they would be 18' thou
 So go the 17's

FTR's are the go. I don't like the look of EL GT gold against a cardinal red car.

I just got my quote on 18x8 Sabers with the adaptors for pre AU, Yoko C drives for 2400 from QuickFit.
Why not go larger than 17'?

I have a set of 17's. They are 16" XR copies. They are for sale, pretty cheap. Let me know if interested.

Here's red + GT's.
 If i was you i would look into diffrent rims. In Mexico every 2nd man and his dog has ELGT's. Fortunatly here i can count the number of cars with ELGT's on one hand.

Get some 12 Slotters.. don't be a coward! lol
Kiddin, the 6 spokes look more modern, and look alright in silver, as above. 17"s, it's a Falcon after all. |

The 16's look too small. Besides the GT's will make it look more unique, XR rims are a dime a dozen
