Tickies. As common as they are, they look sweet on the EB shape.

Yep! On a dumped EB they always look fantastic. Ned's green EB is probably the best example.

Agreed. AU II's suit the shape very nicely

I had the AUIIXR8 wheels on my EL ghia, they looked pretty nice. The BA XR8's don't seem to suit the shape of the e series as much in my opinion, but hey, that's my 5 cents.

The AUs are common, but the BA 18s will be the next big wheel.
