Got the new wheels, 1 has been machined to fit pre VE, the rest ill need to get done. Going to get them resprayed, unsure of what colour. They have had a respray in Thunder Grey, but its not the best job so in the next few months will get them redone in either that colour or the Factory silver they come in?? At this stage will have to get the back guards rolled. Has good tread on the tyres, however they are 225/35/20s which is a irregular fitment for 20s. But will do the job. They are Genuine Supersports. Heres a snap. Just fitted this one for a photo, Still rolling on the Calais wheels obviously till the Sports get machined.

Stop doing awesome things to your car, I feel the need to compliment and end up looking like a postwhore I love supersports - probably my favourite Commodore wheel. As you are going to spray them anyway have you considered asteroid silver in order to match the lower plastics? I have never seen it done. Just a thought. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Awesome idea, and my mate suggested it as well. Wont get them done till around Christmas as there's no rush to do so. But yeah good thinking. I'm keen to get them machined so i can put all of them on. I got some "Rimskins" for them. Will post up a pic soon. Since they have no gutter rash, thought id get them just in case they do get little marks on them, plus they look sweet. But iwill be keeping these wheels for a long time, next set in the future would be FR's. But not till its turbo'd. ---------- Post added 08-10-12 at 22:35 ---------- The masking tape on the wheel is just for me to identify that this one is one of the fronts.

Got a beige s2 velour high rise for the console.

Nice calais u've done a awesome job on it wish my calais was that neat but it'll get there.

20's on, fit snug. Looks phat but. Going to enter the Calais into a local car show next weekend. Will give her a light polish and a little clean,and hopefully come out with an award Mates house. At Home For the car show ill take the bearing caps off so i can put the center caps on the fronts. And might the put the fake Brembo Calipers on, will paint the hubs black and clean everything up behind the wheels. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've always been a fan of that original white Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Awesome car! Not a fan of those fake Brembo calipers, looks wrong with such a small rotor Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I seen em with 343mm curve-slotted and drilled rotors on a brake upgrade. **** looks legit and much cheaper then the brembo name.

But they don't work like brembos.. You don't buy brembos because they look good lol

that's true. I'm sure if everyone could afford them we'd all have a set but not everyone can throw around money like that. anyways what I was getting at was they look almost flawless when on huge rotors.

With those caliper covers, you can hang out with all the Camry driving Indians in the Safeway carpark. Seriously mate, sometimes less is more. Make what you have look good, not what you don't have stand out.

Lol, nar they are not going on. Bought them around a year ago but just never wanted to put them on. Car is going in the car show this weekend. This is the first car show i've entered any car in. And most importantly which wheels ?? Calais or Sports ?? Thinking of opening the hood and boot, and leaving windows down ? Very simple as its pretty original.

At this stage going Calais wheels for the show and shine.

As you guys can tell, i love taking photos. Going to get a heaps good entry level DLSR for Christmas so i can take better photos. Anyways, today i did a mini shoot on the Calais. Picked out my favorites out of around 300 photos lol. Brothers VZ Maloo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
