If they are in good condition they look allright, maybe even chrome them up to be different...

I'm not a fan of snowflakes at all. Black stockies would look better, or even hubcaps, and I'm not keen on those either. Actually, the only "rim" I hate more on e-series than snowflakes are those "marie biscuit" hubcaps...

You might also want to consider XF snowflakes, which aren't dull grey like the EA ones (their design is identical though)

I was going to say the same. I don't like EA snowflakes, but I reckon the XF Ghia snowflakes with the black between the spokes don't look too bad.

Yeah IMO snowflakes only look good one either XE or XF Ghia's. Id go hub caps before them.

They look much nicer than the stockies. (I know Pat won't agree though)

Yeah they look nicer in a stock car kind of way, they look good if the car is low, but stockies still look way more tougher IMO I'd keep the stockies but i'm trying to make it look half "normal" now lol.

this should be a rule every Falco'driver follows...

1. Black stockies on the rear (ONLY) with some sort of non black rim up front, even if its hub caps or 15" Snow flakes
