Hi Gents, We are looking at the possibility of manufactering exact copies of the EB GT wheel in 19x8.5" in the same colour. Maybe also an 18". What we are interested in is the type of interest there would be for this wheel. It is a very exspensive job and they would be manufactered in Australia so good quality.They would probably be a once off run of 125 sets. What do you guys think.

I think Its a great idea but ultimately the success of it is going to come down to the price of the set of wheels..
Any idea how much a set will be ball park?? Cheers, Nik

Eaturbo, I will leave this thread as is so you can gauge interest. As soon as this turns into a goer I would ask that you read THIS THREAD and follow the procedure so the buy can go ahead without a problem ;)

Do the EL GTs in 19 you will get shite loads more buyers. I would've loved to change my 17s to 19s. You see heaps of people asking for EL GT copies and originals. How many do you see looking for EB GT mags?

We are still looking at doing something but it is alot more involved than first thought. I like the look of the EB wheels more than the EL's but i will wait and see.

I reckon EL GT's would sell a bit better than EB GT's in that size. Theyre a wheel i always liked but they just were a little small in 17's.

19"x8.5" EB GT wheels Soon Maybe
Linear Mode
