Think you have this around the wrong way RED writing is VL and BLACK VN.
Check the production dates on the back.

the light silver ones have a build date in 1987
the darker gray ones with red writing have a build date in late 89
maybe Scamer can tell us what the build date of his dark gray hubcaps with red writing are? my guess is mid 89

No im confused
I have a dark grey with red (March 88 ) and a silver with black (Sep 87)
May be a V8 VL had one and Turbo had another ?
Ill check out my old magazines.

Every totally standard Berlina Turbo I've seen has had the 15 inch hubcap's on it, whereas with SL Turbo's and Executive Turbo's I've seen some with 15 inch hubcap's, some with 15 inch steel wheel's, and some with possibly dealer optioned 15 inch "Performance mag's".

v8's had similar hubbies, on execs too, but from memory, the colour is different, like what lw5mx7 said

all v8 and turbos have the same hubcaps due to the bigger brakes, weather there sl or berlina unless there bt1 as they dont have them (due to discs on the rear) i have seen vn s packs with the red writing on a few cars

OT Story:
Saw a neat white VL in a small country town on friday, and it had the hubbies.
So i doubled back, saw $2.5, 83,000kms, it was neat, white over grey. I noticed the Fuel Injection badges, and saw it was an exec. Turbo hubbies, black writing. Lil sus.
So i rang the phone number, and asked:
Me; G'day i am ringing about the vl for sale
Lady: Yes, what would you like to know
Me; Is it turbo?
Lady;No
Me;Is it a v8?
Lady: No
Me; Are you interested in selling the hubcaps?
Lady: Ummm.... (that was a weird question) ... No, would you like to speak to
my other half?
Me: Maybe, is HE interested in selling the hubcaps?
Lady: No
Me; Ohh well, thanks anyway.
I thought briefly about removing them, but empathy gave me a swift kick up that arse, and i thought if that was mine, i would be crushed if someone knocked my hubbies.

I didn't actually see/notice the tyre size there, so good observation.
