Are you guys blind or are you just still using CGA monitors?? genuine VE GTS wheels are shadow chrome, those ones at the top are black with a machined face. Genuine W427 have a raised section at the outer edge between the 2 parallel spokes. Genuine VE GTS have a raised section at the outer edge between the angled spokes. Genuine VE GTS and W427 are ONLY 20"! Genuine VE GTS and W427 have the 2nd rim (or ridge if you like) about 3" in from the main rim, those copies are about 1.5" in. The shape around the studs is completely different. they are clearly a copy, no question. genuine W427 genuine VE GTS Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Must be blind.. The ones on the black monaro are the same rims as in your 1st post, only they dont have the black background. Would you like some more differences to genuine? The spokes on the copies are too narrow. the flat setion of the triangle (center most of the rim) is too narrow to be W427 and the VE GTS doesnt have one at all. Heaven forbid you do some reasearch of your own you would see the biggest rim optionable on any holden is 20" and none of them resemble a HSV wheel, as if HSV would allow holden to just throw a similar rim on a normal holden. Only chance is to HSV enhance the whole car, then it can get HSV gear. I realise you're not saying they're necesarily genuine HSV but you'd have to agree they're a bit too close in design to the real ones to be another rim fitted at holden.

It wouldn't matter if they looked identical to VE GTS or W427 (which they don't) but the fact of the matter is Holden/HSV have not released any car or optional wheel bigger than 20" Quote: Originally Posted by [T]Matty 22" with tyres for 2500... Quality... 22" tyres that you would want on a VE would be at least $2,500... they must be giving those shitty rims away Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
