Big ugly wheels

[1HotSSV]

Donning flame suit....
Now, I know most will probably disagree with me here, but I think 22's look horrible on VE's. Actually, I think 22s look horrible on any car. They make a car look like something a child draws in primary school! Anyway I'll step off the :soap: now and wait the barrage.

[Mungrel]

Naah i agree mate,

Perhaps in time i'll like the look of 22's, but for now, i personally think 20's are as big as you wanna go.

[xploit]

Well,

Everybodys opinion is different some people like 22's where as you dont.

Some people will think your a moron for getting an SS V over an SS.

Some people will take offence to your thread...

Thread should of been a discussion opening rather than just a full on open rant.. putting people down who may have 22's on their VE.. personally i think it depends what style of the 22 they are.

Nomination for most useless thread of '08.

[Marco]

I agree. I haven't seen any VEs on 22s so I can't comment specifically, but there is such a thing as wheels that are too big...

...especially if they're playa bling chromies.

Who would say an SSV isn't worth buying over an SS?

I hope it's not the same people that spend bucketloads on V6s and then decide they want a V8? :o

Plenty,

Technically the SSV is slower than the SS, I know a few senior members on here who have the same opinion on the extra money spent :jester:

What does me spending my money on my v6 concern you??

Just because i can afford to do it, :goodjob: :lmao:

And, if your not currently aware the laws in Victoria prohibit me from having a V8 whilst on my P Plates..

Thing is buddy, you shouldnt open something up flat out putting people down because your opinion doesnt match.

Some 22's can look good on the VE's because the wheel wells are so damn massive.

:jester:

Dave

[superoo]

I think I'd have trouble coming to terms with the cost of decent rubber before I worried about how they'd look. I've never really understood getting wheels of this size and then fitting some generic brand of tyre. All comes down to how much you're willing to throw at it I guess but once you get to this size, it's pretty much all about looks rather than performance.

I never intended to point the finger directly at you mate.

"Technically the SSV is slower than the SS" -- so that must mean the HSVs are even slower?

Besides, if you can get an SSV for less than what someone else pays for an SS then why not? :)

I'm actually surprised you bought the car you did, I was under the impression they weren't very safe..

Cheers,
Dan

[Black Diamond]

Each to their own. Ive got 22's on mine and i think they look great.
The bigger the better i say.

Ah sorry my interpretation must have been wrong. :jester:

The VE SV6 is very safe, twice the car that the VY S was. Just saying, shouldnt outright put someone down for no reason, there could be people on here with 22's that are very happy, *See above post*

Have a discussion not a flat out bloody hissy fit :jester:

This forum is getting clogged with so many opinionated...



Dave

[diabolic]

No worries mate. Agreed with the people not flat out having a go at what someone else likes. The black ute above does look mighty fine.

Saying that, I probably wouldn't put 22's on myself :) Expense being one reason haha

Cheers,
Dan

[planetdavo]

I also agree they look like sh!t.
Besides putting up with a pounding ride and almost guaranteed rim damage, not to mention needing a loan for tyres, pretty much everyone bar much of the bling crowd or the doof doof crowd think you're trying to make up for a lack of size somewhere else!

[xploit]

Same,

I toy'd with the idea, i think they look great on the VE's.

But, expense kills it for me.

C'mon, why shouldn't people be allowed to voice their opinion on something like this, just because a few people with prickly states of mind might get a wee bit upset? He has posted it in the correct General section, which invites discussion on subjects of a non-technical nature. He posted his thoughts up as he's entitled, and now all of you have the chance to either agree or disagree! It becomes a sh!tfight when people starting getting abusive.
Some people are sooooo obsessed with their cars, they just can't take any criticism of something they like themselves! Any at all.

na..i think the problem was the way he worded his opening thread, he didn't exactly sound like he wanted opinions or invite discussion, he came out and said"22 s look horrible on VE s, or in fact any car", WHAT WAS THE POINT?

haha yeh I've only had mine for 2 weeks. They are definately a nice wheel!!


I also think it all depends on what type of wheel in 22''s, whether it will look good or like crap.
In the end it comes down to personal opinion.
One mans treasure is another mans trash..

[RED R8]

Personally I like the 22's on the Ve's but wouldn't want the ride and some 20's look too small....21's would be just right.


I will more than likely stick with the 20's and preserve some of the ride.

[1HotSSV]

Wow,
I expected some flames, but this is rediculous! Here are a few pics of my ride, nothing aftermarket, just the best from the factory. I really didn't want to start a Sh&T fit thread, I was just voicing my opinion. Maybe I should have started it with something like "what does everyone think about 22s", but oh well.

Track stripes

Orange dash's

Luckily its your car and choice we all have different tastes..to say 22's are ugly , yes some are some look horn the black capa ute looks great with 22's.

Different strokes for different folks

[Dagabond]

:rofl:You forgot stone deflectors and mudflaps....
These two side by side show the 22's fill the gaurds on the VE's just that bit better:

All praise the great engineer who blessed us with such CAVERNOUS, BEAUTIFUL guards :bow::bow::bow::bow:

[iloveholden]

I dont mind the 20s or 22's.

At the end of the day it depends if you are after more looks than ride quality or vice versa.

I think that some 22's looks great on the VE yet some look absolutley shithouse, all depends on the stlye.

For myself personally, a set of VE GTS 20's work well and no one can say that deans SSV needs bigger rims for it to look hot :goodjob:

20's with wide rears still looks awsome.

[Wonky]

Personally I think most 22s look too big but to each his own. No doubt some people hate my rims but I like them and that's all that matters. With 20"x10" rims with 275 tyres on the back and 330mm from centre of rim to wheel arch mine fills out the guards very nicely! In fact, too nicely now that I've put the Monroe GT short shocks on it as it now keeps scraping the tyres on the rear even though the guards are rolled. Am going to have to lift it now...... :(

[planetdavo]

Good on 1HotSSV for having the balls to post up pics of his car, knowing full well the angry mob are licking their lips for ANY opportunity to bag his car.

[ADAM 26]

i think 22 look great on a ve, 20`s look a little small on the bigger ve. a friend of mine has 22 x 10`s with 295 rears, looks bloody awsome!!

i think on the newer commodores that bigger rims look better,iv got 20`s on my vx ss, it did rub and all that at first but with a bit of work to the guards they fit in no worrys now!, im also a oldskool fan and im running 15 inch rims on my hz tonner, i would never go any bigger, old cars with big rims look like crap, it just doesnt look right!!

[RhysB]

I contemplated the 22s for the new ute for ages, but I just couldnt do it. Yes they fit, but they look very ordinary. I have 22 inch Kahns on my Range Rover, and they are perfect. 20s on it look small, 24s look too big.
Same with the ute. You have to get it just right. Thats why I ordered a set of Intro Showwheels:- 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10s for the back. I get them in 4 weeks, and I think they will be the perfect blend of style, functionaity and looks. Plus, I wanted the car to look fat and low, not jacked up on 4WD sized rims.

Cheers.

[nthnbeachesguy]

Pretty happy with 20's on mine for now.I did look at 22's, exactly the same ones that are on the other black ute but decided against it. Kinda happy I did now, they aren't a bad looking wheel but seems like every man and his dog has them now and I still have an issue with the whole fewly schick chromies thing. I think that if your walking out to your car in the morning and it makes you smile just looking at it who gives a s##t what anyone else thinks?

[VTV691]

.. this fire requires bit more oil..

My opinion is that all chrome wheels look !@#$!
No matter of size :P :smilesandbanana:



:feedtroll:

[hsvr8ls1]

the black ute looks farking crazy man

if i had the ve it would have to be sitting on 22s for sure after seeing this photo. nice :goodjob:

[Holden Man]

I think it depends on the style of the wheel for the VE. (all those Verdes look a little bling but still suit the style of the vehicle)

I really dislike the 4WD's getting around with chrome 24"-26" rims. There is a black Hummer H3 down the road from work with 26" rims and he even put a 26" chrome badge on the guard !! (just to let everyone know that didn't see the big oversized wheels in the first place - very HotWheels looking IMO)

[Tecca]

Yeh i agree, i myself don't care too much for anything bigger then 20's. But it's all bout personal opinion! i have seen some VS-VE's with 22's and they complement the car really well! aslong as they don't look like bin lids:).

Most of the 22 inch fans seem to be under 25 for some reason....

[kayman]

minimum size and minimum weight of rim for the maximum size of brake would be good enough for me

[05DKNG]

How could anyone think that black ve ute with 22's doesn't look PHAT!!! Fair enough there pricey but hey, why not spend a lil coin on your pride n joy. :jester: That ute would get my vote for looks every day of the week. :goodjob:

[planetdavo]

Depends on the person.
To some people, those big chrome blingey 22's look PHAT (to quote).
To others, they show a total lack of class from an owner screaming out for any attention they can get.

mate im well under 25 and a fan of 15 inch rims!!!!

i personaly think it depends on the style of car that they are on. 22`s look the goods on the ve, but are too much for the vz and down. 20`z are more than enough for the older commodores. vb to vp look good with 19`s, any earlyer and its 15`s or some kind of custom billet rim!!!

i know a lot of younger blokes arnt into the oldskool but i personaly try to get into all areas of the car scene, old skool it the best, but only with big cubes and small rims!!!

there is nothing tuffer than a set of convos, or prostars with 3 inch wide fronts and 10 or more inches wide on the rear of any car. i think a lancer with that rim/tyre como could look tuff!!!

[BigJim]

I think 22s can look great in the right application and type of wheel. Thats why this R8 looks tuff.

Each to there own i guess,
Cannot really complain bout any of the cars posted up on this thread, 20's, 22's they all looked great.
I think anyone who has a dashmat would probably disagree with big blingy 22's in any case, cause there ain't no taste in them! :rofl:

Mate that clubby is HOT!!! I wish i had a car like that, lol. Good work mate, you have great taste.

Thats the biggest problem with the VE's finding decent rims that you like to fit over.

[VT_Lance]

i think the orange and red clubby/gts look f#cking great with there mags and the black one but the utes wheels dont look good just my opinion which dont really count lol

and about 95% of the time the chromy rims dont look crash hot and just to much of a look at me my wheels fully sick you leb and again my opinion only

[iloveholden]

IMHO the red GTS looks terrible with those wheels, the original rims would suit its look better. 1 vote for 20"rims.

But then you look at the black clubby with 22's, and its looks farken hot as, more pics of that ride please!!!!

[Vulture]

I think 22s can look great in the right application and type of wheel. Thats why this R8 looks tuff.

Yep, I agree Jim. I think that Clubsport was for sale on carsales at some point, from the Goldcoast I think. I was interested in buying it I loved it that much.

But in saying that, I think 20s are the best compromise between looks and comfort for the VEs. A really tasteful set of 22s would be great but for me driving on country roads I am sure it would end in tears.

In your opinion they look like shit, it would be a boring would if we all liked the same thing :)

Im glad you dont like them, means less people will want to put them on there car, i for one hate driving around having the same rims as everyone else, hence why i hate having the GTS rims on it!
However if you read above they are not going on as they do not fit.

Simply put the pic up to show the size difference on a ve :)

^ The ride height is also perfect :bow:

They don't look as good on this Omega >

OUCH that omega DOES NOT WORK.

[HSVGTS215i]

Slightly off topic I put VE SSV 19s on my VZ and reckon they look hot as fark then saw a white vy exec with the same rims and it looked farking awfull.

All comes down to rim design and the car they are going on as to whether they will look good or turd

[Merlin]

.. this fire requires bit more oil..

My opinion is that all chrome wheels look !@#$!
No matter of size :P :smilesandbanana:

:feedtroll:

I totally agree - the only decent looking car I've seen in this thread is the one with the black wheels and big brakes EXCESS's or something...The 22" chrome verde things or whatever look very try hard. Just my opinion of course...everyone has different tastes :1peek:

[blackbettyhsv]

VEGTS- They look hot!!
I was putting on 22's on my maloo but the ones i had orderd in didnt fit over the callipers...
Thats the biggest problem with the VE's finding decent rims that you like to fit over.

Heres my maloo with 24's on front and 20's on back. The ones on the front were what i had ordered in.

welcome to the (I cant find rims to fit over the HSV brakes club) must admit the ones on the black clubby look good

Which one? :confused:

[Blown 540]

So true.

I was not a fan of 22" rims but seeing blown408's green ute, the black ute and the clubbie on this thread.....well all I can say is they look sh!t hot.

Clubbie

Thanks Clubbie , i like them and neither of us is under 25.:)

like i said i don't like MANY wheels above 20" but the wheels on that Black Clubsport look stunning!:drool:

[clubbie]

Cheers, not trying to blow wind up your a$$ or anything but absolutely love the ute as the the whole project was well thought out with no real shortcuts....well maybe some doof doof upgrade but that's not me.

The ute just looks complete...ride height = perfect....colour = perfect (IMHO) ....brakes = perfect....rims just top it off.

Job well done, enjoy.

Clubbie

[xcesiv]

I think it all comes down to ride height. If your driving on 22s, then u have to have it tucking (or bloody close to it).... If its looking like a 4x4 then the wheels just dont fit right.

Perfect example. Tucking looks hot, looks like wrong offset on the rear and too high equals - Fail.

Ill stick to my 20's. 20x8.5 front and 20x10's rear
Good compromise between looks and function.

[obsesiv]

Speaking of wheels, can anyone please tell me what these wheels are shown on this ute on eBay please..

[SV346]

I think 22"s look good in their own way weirdly enough, provided its not a crap wheel to start with :) Verde madonnas look terrific in 22"s, i rekon 21"s even though they are rare as would be the right size for the commodores. I think 20" tyres are too expensive at 800 + for a DECENT tyre even though i got them, but id hate to imagine what people pay for 22"!!! Theyd have to be more than what most people earn a week hahaha, ahh the pain.

Hrt8 your ute looks insanely nice :) If i hadnt got green i would have got silver with the red dash, seats n mats, n put a set of black centre chrome lip wheels too.

[Tony66]

Sorry but the green ute looks crap with those wheels. Worst rims I have seen for a while. :spew:

[mickeyVX350]

I think those rims are nice... BUT I would prefer to see the chrome ring as a solid circle, I like the tall star.

Personally, I really do not like the rims on the black clubby, or a lot of the 20+ rims. In saying that, HSV and Holden really do design some nice wheels now, and to top that is hard, so instead of imitating, wheel companies are actually innovating to save their lives.

IMHO I reckon that a large car like the VE needs a nice light, tall rim to break up the look, but not as solid as most of these 20+ rims seem to be. Personally I think the SuperSports are great, and I'd love them on my Monaro

[RAWKUS]

I must have misread your post. It sounded like you were saying you had ordered in 24's like your pic because the 22's didn't fit. Personally I think they look like total Dub City or Hotwheels model car wheels. I'm a fan of rims on performance Holdens looking like they belong on an exotic supercar or race car; not your sister's Hyundai or her boyfriend's Silvia. I'm glad you're happy :eeew:

Well at least it looks a whole lot better than a White Commodore station wagon end of Clare Street in Bayswater today.

Massive Wheels on a standard wagon, didn't know if to pewk or laugh to death
It was bloody awlful !
Wish I had a camera with me.

Some cars look good with larger wheels & others - it says somtething about the owners lack of taste or brains put bluntly:rofl:

[BUTE1]

looks like a set of ceiling fans

That black one looks absolutely sensational. Are the wheels both the same on the blue and blacks ones, both 10 spoke and looks similar (identical)?

http://www.bozeforged.com/meshxs.html

That is the link of the wheels. I believe they were sourced from
http://www.allstreet.com.au/ (allstreet)

[VY18s]

That black Clubby is pure sex. I just want one.:bow:

20+ inch wheels tend to suit late model Commodore better IMO due to being much bigger cars. It's when they're put on VB-VLs they look kind of stupid.

Personally I would never go any more than 19s on my VL. Although I was looking into VE GTS 20s for it.

[Hqcoupe350]

Seen that black VE clubby around a few times and yes, it looks farken hot - its a bit slow tho ;)

Personally even though they do look good, they are a still little too big for my liking. The same set of rims in 20's would be perfect IMO.

[Gorty]

Well,

Everybodys opinion is different some people like 22's where as you dont.

Some people will think your a moron for getting an SS V over an SS.

Some people will take offence to your thread...

Thread should of been a discussion opening rather than just a full on open rant.. putting people down who may have 22's on their VE.. personally i think it depends what style of the 22 they are.

Nomination for most useless thread of '08.

:goodjob:

Dave


The above post is my nomination for most pathetic post of 2008. :rofl:


Donning flame suit....
Now, I know most will probably disagree with me here, but I think 22's look horrible on VE's. Actually, I think 22s look horrible on any car. They make a car look like something a child draws in primary school! Anyway I'll step off the :soap: now and wait the barrage.


Naah i agree mate,

Perhaps in time i'll like the look of 22's, but for now, i personally think 20's are as big as you wanna go.

I agree.......20" max.

[TYREFRIAR]

I havent really seen a 22" I like on a VE over a 20", but I saw this one not long ago, and thought in the pic it looked pretty good for something different.

Does need some big brakes in behind the rims though.

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff56/assassin_offroad/orange.jpg

[Holden Man]

^ is that a new colour ?

[TYREFRIAR]

a trial color, before they head stateside, with a new name.

Also saw a bright yellow one recently as well, which isnt a color we get here.

[Ghosn]

What kind of yellow we talking? like the previous monaro yellow? :smilesandbanana:


^ is that a new colour ?

Tiger Mica has been around for years :rofl:

Seriously tho, the newer version does have a little more appeal, slightly different contrast.

[TYREFRIAR]

sort of that yellow.

Yes I was thinking " has that guy gone and resprayed his car in Tiger Mica ?!" :)

When you think about it, Tiger Mica is about tens years old !
