I just found out that the stud pattern on the new ve gts wheels are different and wont fit on any other model but the VE's!
i want these wheels badly, do i need to get the whole brake setup and wheels to fit these on ?
can sombody make me up an adaptor or somthing if i take a wheel to custom fab place or, anybody no any info they can help me out with ?
at this point i have no idea, any help welcome
they are 8.5inch on the front and 9.5 on the rear, cheers guys
thanks
wth i didnt hear him say he was gonna steal them? you will be able to buy them from hsv when its GTS is out anyway. ive seen a pic of a white calais with VE wheels on it but i dont think they were GTS ill find the pic for ya but
dunno about the ve gts but http://home.iprimus.com.au/mikes_turbo_world/
you'll find picz of GMVLT6 with VE Commodore 19inch SSV wheels.. only vl to date with any ve rims as there still fresh and look mighty sexy on the car.. pm mike RJB-223 ask him for more info sure he will be of some help.
In NZ HSV wont sell you HSV parts unless you have an HSV build number to show them... so anyone just cant rock on in there and pick up a set of 20" HSV rims, but I guess things are different in OZ
Getting the wheels il buy them legitimatly from hsv, the problem i have is getting them to fit on my stud patern as there's is different, what would i need to get these to fit ?
go to the accesories page on the holden website and you can browse through the wheel options for some models.
they seem to cheap though? can anyone get that price or only if you buy a vehicle.
you can get 20's with tyres and fitting only $1749 (smaller wheels less again)

VE Commodore wheels on a VL Turbo ??
Fitted some 19inch VE SSV Rims to my car yesterday....
A certain Holden engineer has choosen to make the hub diameter different on VE wheels so people don’t put them on old commodores to protect VE resale value etc…..
Well the VE has officially been on sale for 2 days and i've already put a set on my VLT
Have to machine hub area on the wheel on a lathe to enable them to fit on a VB - VZ commodore......
like said in this thread here

Yeh its $1749 when buying a new car cos you don't get the original wheels as well, Your not getting charged for fitting cos the car can't role of the assembly line without them.

That price is an upgrade from factory rims cos the cost is $1,749 when optioned on an SSV (19s standard), then when optioned on an SS (18s standard) they are $1,990. So I am guessing they would be double that price
