what wheels do you think would look best on a vt/vx ss, AND, does anyone have pics of them?

i think vx r8 wheels could look alright, maybe even v2 cv8r wheels. ive always liked the vy ss wheels on a vs, but does any one have a pic of them on a vt or vx...

cheers

oh, and im talkin about holden wheels in 18s...(19s would make it easy but those tyres are just too $$$)

yeah the gts wheels do look nice, and those wh wheels look good too but i personally lean towards the wheels with around the 5 spoke cos i like the gaps if u get me

big fan of vx gts and even vy gts wheels but they are 19s...

The VX GTS had 18s for a period of time while they sorted out tyre wear issues.

You have very fine taste Hammer, mine are in Shadow
Chrome. My wife picked them out because I couldn't
make my mind up.

SSDan what brand are those 18x8's? Sly I like your 19x9.5 Fusions!

The two I've been looking at are:
http://www.tempetyres.com.au/content/products/wheels%20466.jpg
http://www.tempetyres.com.au/content/products/wheels%20486.jpg
or the Fusions. Tempe only list them as 18x9...the 19's look better though after seeing Sly's pics

the fusions wont appear quite as big coz the spokes dont go right to the outer edge of the rim. my 2c - get the fusions in 19" or a flatter 5 spoke rim in 18". also weigh up the cost of replacement tyres ;)

There Fusions . I got them at Tempe Tyres. If you go with a 19 you can get Nankang's with a load rating of 650kg for only $230.Ive had a few now and there ok.
