Hey guys, I am now almost ready to chuck some rims on my wagon but Im not sure on what I want. Id really like VY SS 18s but I also like the look of Internationls or the standard (polished) VL Calais rims. I was qouted $1700 from The Tyre Factory for 17" (non genuine??) VY SS rims and tyres, worth it? Which do you think would suit?? Id prefer somthing that didnt attract too much attention.. Thanks for any opinions, Brian Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

put the wheels on your ride because you want it to look nicer, the way you want it to look, it's a VL, it attracts attention anyway!!!!! I have the Inters and they rock, again, it's what YOU want, it's your ride and your money, btw, your pix aren't linked right.

thanks, yeah i suppose ill get attention either way i go (especially from police having a P plate up). the pics work for me? Ill try see what ive done wrong..

the pix come up now, it's all good. Put a set of Inters on and lower the car, it will make a heap of difference!

thanks ITSGMH ill try to get a price on internationls over here and see how they compare to the prices of VY's and yes i definatly need to lower it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah id say the internationals on it over the vy rims

yeah internationals look good on a VL... harvs had some on his white vl a while ago and they looked pretty good...

yeah, internationals can suit most type of cars. would suit yours nicely with a lowering job.

go internationals, the are a pimpin wheel!!!

internationals are 16" yeah?

nope 17 inch bro.... I can sell ya springs for lowering too :P

yeah i really hate 17 inch vy ss's cos they are so obviously fake cos real ones only come in 18's (except off the really really rare vy ss wagon, that had genuine 17's i think). I reckon to stick to alloy and away from chrome with that colour of car, maybe some vt ss 17s? they are nice and cheap 2.

thanks for the feedback guys, still havent decided yet though, 17" internationals sound good, just depends on the price really how much for the springs dceptv and are they 2nd hand, how low will they go etc..? oh and what about shockies? Brian

and has anyone got any pics of some internationals on a car side-on? or better still, a wagon with them?

ther was a photochop of airbagged's vl wagon on internationals going round wasnt ther?

ummmmmmmm they did make 17" vy ss... they came on the ute!

hey dude, i bought my 18" vy ss rims with brand new tyres, mint condition rims, outa the paper for $1400, still in boxes from holden. something to think about, second hand dosent always mean second rate quality.

ATMO, yeah i forgot about that one ITSGMH, you car looks sweet! and thanks for the tip YODA!!

Alrighty got another quote today, a tyre and rim package (plus fitting, balancing, alignment and locknuts) for 17" Internationals will cost from $1600 with "Wanli" tyres to $2200 with Bridgestones. The guy also said he'll do those prices for 17" VY SS's. These are brand new obviously so ill check out some 2nd stuff in the papers... So now my question is what would you recommend for the tyres, bridgestones or wanli?? Ill see if he'll put them on my car to see if i like them or not Later guys, Brian
