Commodore equipe

[JoshoMarc]

Can anyone tell wether the new commodore equipe that is being advertised via that ad with skaife in it has the same 17 inch wheels as the VXSS? If so why would they double up like that?

[Marco]

Yeah, it does, saw one in a dealer two weeks ago.

Holden frequently uses older models' alloys on later limited edition models. I think in the past though they have tended to be Calais wheels.

[StormVX]

yeah and VS equip used VR Berlina wheels

[xcapee]

good way to get rid of excess stock!

[Aus8]

Yeah nothing new there. They have always done it with every limted edition. Just getting rid of old excess stock.

[JoshoMarc]

Ok thanks. Just couldnt quite see them on the ad. Actually now that you mention it they did do it with some earlier I can now remember

[Marco]

VTII Olympic Edition had VT Calais wheels from memory (which would have been just before the VX came out), and I think the VX Lumina did too.

Not bad but the VX1 Lumina had VTII S pac wheels.

I should probably pay more attention to my wheels. Alot more instances than what I could remember!

I stand corrected :) I'm fairly confident there was a VX model that had VT Calais wheels on it at some stage....will do some more looking around.

yeah
Holden have this HORRIBLE tradition of stuffing up their wheel design :mad:
...been doing it for more than 20 years

I had a 5.0 VK Berlina ('84 vintage) with 15" factory alloys
and they were originally from the VH SL/E.... :rolleyes:
and
it continues to this day...(as we know)
and some other examples...
VS Berlina got VR Calais wheels
VN Berlina (with alloys optioned) got VL Calais wheels
why?
who knows?
its not a good look :bash:

at least they change plastic hubcaps on every new model :lol:


cheers

[bigdongers]

how much excess stock of the old VX SS wheels would they have?

[COOKIE!]

Let's not forget that the VT ser I S got the VS SS rims too.

[stealthvz]

And the Storm Crewman gets the VY SS rims!
But the Storm ute gets sh1tty ones! :rolleyes:

Storm ute gets the VY SV8 rims, I am not a fan either!

[Marco]

VS Berlina got VR Calais wheels

Not to mention the VP S and VR S getting the VN SS wheels, and the VS S getting the VR SS wheels.

VP Berlina LX had VN Calais wheels.

[Devil CV8]

and the series 1 monaro had VT GTS rims (I know they had HSV cast in the back of them)

[Marco]

I hope the Series II/III Monaro wheels make a comeback on something else...I love that design.
