$4,999. Jingos. Is that a normal price for 20" rims??

Does anyone know if you can fit 20in 275's under a VE Commo. I've read the HSV's have different rear guards to fit the wider rubber so what would be involved for a Holden owner?
They are one of the nicer rims HSV have turned out but the open design really requires some big brakes IMO.

I must be the only one, but i'm not really that keen on these wheels. HSV have put out some really nice wheels in the past, but to me these look kind of tacky.
Me personally, if I was going to spend a packet on wheels, especially for a VE i'd wait for the long awaited Simmons FR20's :love:

SLY LS1 has 275's on the back of his VE SS....

sorry to piss on the bonfire but I reckon those wheels look nasty (not in a good way)

lol "nasty" is an interesting way of describing a wheel..
I reckon they look really good with the big HSV rotors and calipers behind
them..
Price is big, but then again if they are factory tyres i know they are worth
a fair bit

I dont mind these wheels at all:love:
They really do look the goods on the GTS and i`d imagine look bloody good on a VE SS. ;)

MMM mmmm
I love these rims, they look awsome when in motion.
If a SS wears them tho, they would want to be wearing some damn nice brakes as the wheels become almost see thru while driving.
*looks at bank account* Hmmmm

But that isn't a bad thing :) I prefer wheels with some rim though. Bonspeed billets FTW!
