A few months ago a place on ebay was selling au xr8 rims with EL offset but i lost their number and email address.

I think they were called wheels direct or somthing does anyone have their number or selling a set of those rims?

sorry man not thinking his car is an au but you can also buy the bolt on spacers and use au rims then your rims will fit both i hate wheel spacers but the type used for el/au are fine bolt on to your standard studs and have their own studs to mount you wheels fairly pricey but but hey then you have rims that fit from 1967-2004 makes them easyier to sell in the future

Don't buy those ones off ebay, unless the wheels cost more for a different offset. Ring Wheels Direct before buying them, its a freecall, you can't go wrong!
