Default BA XR8 17" Are On...Lowering Next
Just got my set of BA XR8 17" rims.
I reckon they look sweet, should look even better when the car gets lowered.
I got them from Wheels 2 You and they cost $1190 with brand new tyres Silverstone, balanced, wheel nuts and delivery.
There E series offset.
What you all think???

nice one! brand new as well? nice price! Lowering obviously entering your mind? I'm considering the AU series 2's at $1200.But a bit more as I get lowering at a discount at the place I'm getting them.

Yes I know, that is why I asked whether the copies to suit the E-Series offset come in 18 inches too.

Looks great.
I want a black car :(
Why did i get dodgy centre caps when i ordered my copies. Some chrome coloured ones that dont match the painted wheel..
After lowering it will look even better and handle like it's on rails.
