It will look mint. No pics required. I have seen them on a few EA/B/Ds and definitely looks good.

Anyway...

I reckon they suit all e-series cars, they are a nice stylish rim... A little common, but a nice rim none-the-less.

they look a bit different to the genuine ones....but they still look allright..

make sure to lower it pretty much asap after getting the rims....nothing looks worse than a car with nice rims and stock ride height
