Heck yeah, lookin EB. A friend of mine wanted to get some of those rims for his previous car (EB Gli, now got a Sprint) but i told him they'd look pretty ghey and that I never liked them. I'll eat my hat, they suit the earlier E-series cars far better than I imagined!

Yeah i have to admit i am not a huge fan of them, but they were cheap and have good tyres, but now that they are on my car i think it turned out better than what i had expected. im just loving the handling at the moment compared to having 15's

I'm with oneredED and XRated. I was never a huge fan of those rims, but they do look good on your EB.
