Which Rims for VX Calais

[Alister]

Hey guys,
I need new tyres so I thought might as well ditch the stocko rims and upgrade to something bigger.
I had decided on VZ Monaro CV8Z rims but after looking at pics of V2 Monaro CV8-Rs, I'm starting to like those rims.
What does everything reckon I should go for?
Can get the CV8Zs locally but would need to get CV8-Rs from Payless freighted up.

Cheers.

CV8-R's for mine. Sore a silver VY Calais with them on the weekend and they looked great.

Go the CV8-Z's they look fantastic on silver cars;) Our old Silver VY Berlina wgn had them & really suited the silver very well

Personally, im not a fan of the CV8R rims. Much prefer the CV8Z rims!!!

i agree. don't really like the cv8r rims but the cv8z rims look great!

[magvz]

Go the cv8z rims look alot better. And arent as common as
the cv8r rims.

Both wheels are nice but everybody's got em.
Look for something different that will seperate you from the rest.
Black rims are a possibilty?

[VXCAL346]

maybe something like these then.

[XLR8 V8]

It's a Calais Allister, not a Monaro, so please don't put Monaro rims on it (especially those embossed with CV8).
You've got a ride with class, get some classy aftermarket rims to suit.

The VZ CV8 rims were also fitted to the SSV ... so that are not strictly a Monaro wheel. I really like the VZ CV8 rims and I reckon they would suit the VX too.

However, I have to agree with Kris on the CV8 Z embossed wheels, I wouldn't stick these on anything other than an actual CV8 Z.

I agree with xlr8 v8. dont put wheels from one model to another. theres hundreds of styles out there, go for something unique.

[Alister]

Yeah, not really into black rims but I don't mind your rims, VXCal but the style doesn't really do it for me. Looks great on the Calais though.

Kris: I haven't really seen any aftermarket rims that stand out to me. I tend to prefer Holden/HSV rims. I do like the look of your Berlina with the VX Calais International rims but i'm not going to steal your look :)

Do the CV8Z rims have the same finish as the SSZ/CV8 rims (the only difference is the writing right?)?

No CV8-Z rims are Machined faced & the SSZ are not

[NRD80Y]

What about some of the new VE rims such as the 19" SS-V rims that Payless have for VT-VZ?

[dogsballs]

what about eleanors in 19 or 20" , some have the black in the background as well

Looks pretty good on the VY :)
I'm not considering 19" or 20" rims as the price of tyres is just too expensive.

Mike: Yeah, thought the finish looked a bit different. Prefer the CV8Z finish. I've only seen the CV8Zs in real life and not the SSZ/CV8.
