wouldnt it be just as bad as seing ba/fg rims on a e series????????

OI!
It's fully sick, brah.

Why don't we just chuck some XF Snowflakes on your ED

why not, they actually look alright.. ea had them on the ghias aswell so they still suit..

Don't Rage Russ!!!

Or some nice 14" jelly bean mags!
There's actually some in the For Sale thread

Stay on topic...........

The buy-in idea is an excellent one. How to work out the formalities, I have no idea.

Well today was an interesting one with regards to what the industry thinks of E series owners. Most places opinion is that E series owners are mostly low income earners. They also said that people who drive $2000 cars aren't usually kean on spending $2000 on rims and tyres. If they have a show quality car than they can buy Simmons or a set of billets. There is plenty of E series wheels on the market when you consider that the sell 20 sets of AU offset wheels to every 1 set of E series wheels. The other thing is that it takes 20 weeks to make the Die or Tool to make the rims, 4 weeks to test the rim to make sure it passes ADR's and then they have to make the 400 rims and paint and box them which i guess would take 1 month. I am not going to fund this on my own without others taking a gamble as well. Why should i buy 50 sets just so a few people can get what they want when i am taking the risk of getting stuck with them. No one in the wheel industry gives a toss about E series owners anymore. So it looks like this will stay just that A DREAM. Even though i am sure that some would pay up front, i cant see 50 or 60 people doing this to make it a reality. The fact remains that the greatest ever wheel Ford had made the EB GT wheel can be made in 19 inch but probably wont happen

Did you get a price on getting the tooling made up?

I am going to talk to a couple of mates of mine that have a few dollars and see if i can come up with the money in full. Than if the EB wheels take off than the EL GT would follow than the EL FTR'S after that than maybe some further options after that. Maybe some of the EB GT wheels could be done in Silver or in the FPV Dark Agent colour as well as the normal Gold. Maybe also an option of some 9 1/2 inch rear wheels options if they would fit.

Mmmmmm, sounds good.......

Let me know, if you want me to go have a chat with ROH here in Vic.
Happy to smooth the process where-ever I can.

Im definately game for a set of EB GT rims.

Any progress on this????

No, there won't be. The cost of this will be huge.

I would be surprised if you can get the rims alone for under $1000 a corner selling the little volume that the OP's intend to. Anyone have an idea of the cost to get them ADR approved? Your best bet would be to try and get a wheel manufacturer to do them, but as said, highly unlikely.

These rims are going to be made by ROH and the prices quoted include having them crash tested and ADR approved. Maybe you should read the whole thread and ask a question if you dont know and not guess. I would only do it if it was done properly, thats the reason i want to use ROH and not a cheap chinese manufacturer.

I might just mention that someone in this thread is well versed in the legal side of things..... There is a member here studying law.......

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this didn't happen, or if it did was more like the price of 3 piece wheels.....
