Hey guys,

Just wanting to get a couple of opinions.

I'v got a black VT2 Calais with an SS kit on it that will probably be getting changed to a VT Senator kit soon. Just can't decide on which wheels to get. I'v narrowed it down to a choice of 3, let me know what you think.

19" HSV VY GTS:

19" Advanti Havoc

20" Incubus Paranormal

Opinions would be appreciated.

It'd be nice to see some photoshopped action with your actual car and the wheels you like, especially that last set, could be interesting. Personally i like the first set on the VY.:headbang:

HSV GTS for my humble opinion........Or VZ SSV Rims even would be nice.

Those incubus wheels is quite a bizzarre look.. but who knows might turn out well
I'd personally just go the GTS rims, more of a conservative look but hey thats just me

Before i saw your photoshop attemp i was saying definatly the VY GTS wheels. But after seeing the potential of the Incubus' i rekon they are the go!
Not only do they look unreal, you will stand out with them aswell...which i think is prob the ultimate goal in car modifying!
Let us know what you end up doing!

those Incubus would look hot when you get your new kit are you going to get your windows tinted too? For some reason cars to me just look better when they have tinted windows. But hey that is just me :)

And again we agree on wheel choice.
VY GTS from those 3 for sure.

Thanks for all the replies guys. About the window tinting, they are tinted lol :D But yeh, i'll be getting the old tint ripped off and getting a nice dark one put on, just hoping not to get defected after it's on.

As for the wheels, the Paranormals were my first choice, i'm just a little worried that it's too much bling and not enough muscle?

Out of those 3, my vote is the VY GTS. You can never go wrong with those rims regardless of if they're common or not. You'll always get comments, and you'll always love the look. Well I would anyway!

I know you didn't mentioned these HSV wheels, but i reckon they would look tough on your black VT Calais just like they do on this black VZ Calais... ;)

I agree the VZ senator is a fantastic looking rim. I have them on My Black Adventra LX8 & uster have them on My old VYII Clubby. & they looked great on both of them;)

I much prefer the look of the HSV 19" wheels VX GTS/VY GTS/Senator Signatures/VZ Senator, etc. They all look great and gives it a neat factory look.

Not a fan of the cheap 20" wheels and the fact you have to run a skinny tyre to get them to fit properly.

My 2c.

Great, as if I didn't want those enough, now I have to look at a picture of just what they'd look like!

have to agree

VY GTS's are tough but those VZ senators are much better
