22x8.5(f) & 22x10(r)
I think I'd personally prefer all black on the spokes... Something like this:

And of course keep the HSV logo centres.

Either or. I think they both look great! I would Maybe lean towards the first pic with a bit of chrome to break the wheel up a bit. :goodjob:
Certainly not the worst rim I've ever seen. But not far off! :spew:

Second ones are nice, first not so much.
Any idea if the second ones clear HSV brakes tho? What brand are they?

Personally dont think those first ones are that bad really
Both sets of rims are the same! The second ones just don't have the chrome inserts or centre disc...
They're Avanti Inferno and they clear the HSV brakes.

I prefer the 2nd ones.. As im not a fan of multi coloured spokes.. 1 colour is much better/neater.

Why do the PS on the kpow one? I thought yours was Sting Red ???
Not personally a fan on with or without the chrome bits, but it seems the number of aftermarket wheels are few and far between for the HSV's...

I looked at them a good while back, bob jane here gave me one to take home for a good look, but I was,nt keen. I like rims with a good lip on them
I;ve been looking for as long as I;ve owned the car & Im really over it, there is so many rims that are sh(t hot but dont fit hsv, bloody shame you know.

There are 3.5 inches of lip on the rears, how much lip do you want ;-)

The 22" rims look great, problem is they are not legal in most states as they are over 15mm larger in diameter than the 20" with tyres.
I just bought 22" rims for my GTS and had to go back to 20" as it will not be covered by insurance. :bawl:

Can you ask your engineer if they know any engineers in Melbourne that can engineer 22" on a VE GTS.
Cheers,
