just wondering if these rims are available for holdens (VB-VZ)?
(if so I'm assuming the dish would be limited yes?)
Here is a chop I did of the wheels on a VL Turbo

XHP import alot of the Foose wheels from memory and rebadge them so perhaps try them? They're not good quality or anything don't be fooled by the Foose name on them.

Work Meister would look pretty good on a VL... especially if you have narrowed the diff

I don't *mind* the chrome/polished version, theres a chop I did in the Photochop thread with the grey versions, they look better imo.
I do like WORK wheels (they make quite a few good rims actually) - but if I start to look at WORK then I might aswell start looking at VOLK/RAYS etc
Don't make me look into getting a set of "Jap" rims made up for a VL........theres already enough "Jap-Crap" in the car atm
The thing is...how hard would it be to do a stud conversion? I know S13/180's usually get 5 stud conversions (they're usually 4 stud sh*tters!)...so surely theres a way to go from 120 pcd to 114?
Also what's the offset for VL's? (doesn't happen to be +30 does it? )
Woah, I also just remembered...BMW has the same wheel settings as Holdens correct? If so I do remember quite a few BMW's with "J-Spec" rims....
Oh yes it's hot....Now to find someone who sells these in Australia, dunno what colour rim I prefer, bronze on my blue would be sh*t? I think the above BMW has some sort of bronze, which doesn't look too bad..might be okay
18x8.5" +35 offset - 5x120pcd
or
18x10" +20 offset - 5x120pcd
(note: the above are "VOLK TE37" replica's.)

29-06-09, 16:36 GMT+10#12 Those aren't real Volk TE37s, they're Rota Grids... very poor quality wheels.
The good news is that a R33 stud pattern or similar conversion is cheap.. probably less than $500 if you kept the VL brakes.

29-06-09, 16:41 GMT+10#14 So by that you mean you're using a GTR caliper on the VL disc? Or a re-drilled gtr disc as well? What parts did you use to do the conversion?

Damn - I beleive it's GTR caliper + DBA 330mm commodore disc... then there were some other adapter thingo's + hubs. Theres quite a few bits and pieces.
If it's not too hard, and if the correct offsets can be done I'll look into it.

30-06-09, 07:14 GMT+10#16 You can get Work rims in 5x120 and I believe since they are made to order you can get any width and offset

The first one will work all around with a 225/40R18. The 2nd one will on the rear with the right amount of narrowing of the diff

30-06-09, 09:07 GMT+10#17 You might be able to just get away with changing the stub axles and hubs to convert to import pattern that would hardly cost anything.

30-06-09, 13:44 GMT+10#18 TE37's are one of my all time fav rims, but i cant picture them on a VL let alone looking good. Do a chop and show us
Theres a rims place here in melbourne that import volks/rays and work rims..
