Just a bit of info, all the wheels supplied factory for the FPV's and XR's are made in China. I would not be surprised if the copies are made in the same factory as the originals for Ford.
During FG Development, it was discovered the supplier in China of the FPV / XR wheels had the new FG ones up on there website months before any photos of the car were released. Thankfully it was that difficult to find the website, no one did. They were listed as being on sale too, when we translated the Chinese. Would have been interesting if someone had actually found the site and purchased some. Still one of my favourite e-series wheels are the FBT Speedlines. I have a set sitting in my garage ready to go on the XG Panelvan I am doing up. |

Are these aftermarket ones drying up or what? I search pre-au etc. on ebay every now and again and the results seem to be shrinking every time.

seems to be no imagiation with rims these days, Every kent buys a Pre AU and must fit FPV copies to it. screw that!!!
Most jap rims fit pre aus. Just gotta get good offset. like 0 offset or +6. |

Will 10 inch wide rims even fit under the gaurds of an E series, let alone 12s!!
If so tho, I'm goin 8s on the front and 9 or 10 rears if the dish is big

10s fit on the rear fine. from what Ive seen. Mine are 9.5s all round and fit fine. so extra .5 of a inch easy.

I'm seriously considering hub centric hub adapters and some nice rims. I love multi-spoke rims and these Ford copies are not what I'm after to.
