Nice mate, Scandinavia is high up on my 'to visit next' list I have an Aunt in Norway, Would have liked to go this year, but 6 weeks around the rest of Europe was enough. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I was in the south of Norway/Finland/Sweden during summer and absolutely fell in love. Current entire life plans revolve around moving there for minimum 12 months now (Oslo) with the idea that I can travel from there easily.

Yeah my Aunt is near Oslo..

Figured out what rims you are getting yet Chris?

I have not yet Michael, pls send help

Dude I have no idea about rims for my own car let alone yours. Maybe try something else rather than a 19", maybe a sweet weld 17 inch that the vette's run on the street in the states. That's what I'm looking at

Think i might just go the 1 piece simmons, why are they staggered sizes though? http://www.tempetyres.com.au/wheels?CarMake=&CarModel=&Brand=Simmons%20Wheels&I nch=19&SubCategory=&Colour=&PCD=&Size=&Staggered= (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/wheels?CarMake=&CarModel=&Brand=Simmons%20Wheels&Inch=19&SubCategory=&Colour=&PCD=&Size=&Staggered=)

Chimmons?

Tell you what look good the "HDT VE 20 inch 5 STAR's" https://hdt.com.au/product/hdt-ve-20-inch-5-star-wheel/ Justin/HurtinIt has some on his VL and they look amazing. Seen them in person and they look even better.

yep looked at them, don't like 20's on non body kit VL's too big imho

Noooo chimmons are poo, u can think up something better than them.

Would you consider 18" at all, or are you set on 19"? There's some pretty cool 80's style rims from Europe that would work well with the PCD if you'd be keen on trying something "outside the box" so to speak. BBS LM is a classic, fits pretty much any car and the centre can be done in silver, hyper black or gold etc, much like a simmons wheel. Ronal makes a very cool "Aero" rim which is very 80's. Otherwise there are a fair few standard BMW rims which are quite nice in a 5-spoke design which isn't "too out there".

No longer applicable.

I reckon 17's or 18's old skool dished rims would look the goods on a vl, trying to look for a set for my vl but i get stuck with the whole pcd thing

BMW PCD, there's heaps to choose from in Europe and Ebay. I ended up importing a set of Compomotives from the UK for a BMW. Classic Rally rim used on Cosworths, Lancias and BMWs. You can have a look here: https://www.performancealloys.com/ They sell and ship to Aus no worries and have a huge range.

Cheers for that fellas I'll add them all to the list i'm hoping the longer I stall with this the better decision gets made haha

can anyone recommend a panel beater / painter in the northern suburbs (preferably close to Wangara as the windscreen is out and would rather not trailer it) who would be able to repair and paint my windscreen area? have the windscreen and dash out already and have a rarespares patch panel to take bits from. don't need to worry about the windscreen as I have that sorted already.
