sorry bout the shit photos i didnt wanna look like a werido talking pics of some ones car haha

[seevee8]

last week in dandenong my brother saw a really smik red cv8z monaro , took a couple of pics............next minute out of nowhere was surrounded by 3 undercover cops!
the car was sittin there as bait for car thieves and they thought my brother was a "spotter". lol

anyway, nice shots of a really phat clubby.

[FatBoy]

I really don't go much on big wheels but i have to admit, that looks horn... :bow:

[Titanium]

Looks good!

But needs bigger brakes now .......:1peek:

[MADLS1]

thats Salem's R8 - prev cars are MRCV8 & he also owns GTS6LT the 1000rwhp TT VX GTS :smilesandbanana:

[iloveholden]

Did Salem own the MRCV8 that was in Street commodores? cause that name rang a bell, than realized that my desktop wallpaper atm is that monaro from a street commodores. If it is and if that awsome looking R8 is his as well, one he has a little $$$ and he spends it well. :smilesandbanana:

[Lofty]

Bigger rotors needed. they look like normal commodore breaks.

bugger the 22s! i just keep lookin at your avatar

[NickS]

Engage Grandpa mode ... too frigging big, 20" looks spot on with the VE, they just look too big for the car.

Let the flaming begin ...

[lowriding]

nah doesnt look "overwheeled" imo. Factory 20's mean an aftermarket 2 inch upgrade looks ok.

[BigJim]

I like them. Suits it fairly well.

They dont look that big on the VE those size.

Only problem is do they have decent tyres for 22s yet such as the better brands like brigdestone, yokohama, pirelli etc. Otherwise are tyres just the cheap chinese ones which would be crap. Thats what would stop me getting 22s for a VE

[throttlehappy]

even if i had a ve i wouldnt get 22s, $230 a tyre for my 17" michellins is enough thank you

[BLAZEY]

the 22" looks great on the ve imo.

looked awesome in life....

Plenty of good brands available.
A local to us has also put 22,s on his ve gts (intro showwheels billet) but chose a custom offset allowing the rim to sit a tinny bit more inside the rear guard and looks shit hot. Has the same stance as above but doesn,t look like the wheels are sticking out past the guards.

Above looks good too!:):)

[vyssbeast]

In my opinion the only thing wrong with that is the lowering.

Too low in the back compared to the front, needs a slight angle adjustment, touch higher in the back touch lower in the front.

Oh and slightly bigger profile tyres!! (those tyres r like skin on the rim!)

Other than that, pretty sweet

[brentonsav]

i agree with nick. there is such a thing as too big.

just like 19's where the shit with the vt-z, 20's are it with the ve's.

any bigger make them look silly and impracticable.

i also agree with throttle happy, $210 for my hankook's is enough for me to spend on rubber.

[Paxton]

they are some of the LOWEST PROFILE TYRES i've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!

you'd be dodging reflectors on the road with those things!!

don't really like the rims, but it does look crazy

[BLACKWAGON]

Has anyone seen the dark grey gts or clubby with bootspoiler removed and dumped with custom plates in melbourne?
seen it last week but only got a glimpse while it drove past.

[VEGTS]

Have got the same wheels on my gts, just chrome. 245/30/22 front & 285/25/22 rears. A big footprint but rubber bands for sidewalls. The ride is very good just a little harder on rough roads but i like it firmer . Drive all day with track on.

Add me to the gramps list.

[OPPYLOCK]

Add me to the gramps list.

Another grumpy old man here...... although if you could get something that looked like that, handled/rode like a stocker and could clear speed humps I could be swayed...... or maybe the government will fix the roads and we can all drive on 22's:lmao:

[SSEEYA]

correct me if im wrong but uh, didn't that salem fella smash his gts???
black gts coupe?

[VEClubster]

Hey Paxton -can you tell me wheel size and offset if you have 22's on your car??? Im worried about shoehorning such big wheels under and wanna find out if anyone else had probs and if not what size rims they put on......

[Fusebox]

Yep Im with NickS on this.

[RED R8]

Looks hot but for me 20's would be it ,I think I am getting old.

[Greeny34]

Me too .. I'm with NickS and the others.
20'' is spot on for the E series.

Scott

[VXS]

I seen this just as the guys at The Tyre Factory in Thomastown finished it.

In the flesh it is really somthing else.....Horn! :drool:

[hotbox]

That looks awesome. anyone know what them wheels are called?

[Curtis-R]

Looks different, but the 22's just look too big for my liking.. still big bling!

Was thinking of getting my HSVi's coated shadow chrome instead of the silver.. anyone know a good place in Melb? ;)

[VEGTS]

That looks awesome. anyone know what them wheels are called?

There called khan?
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/V8GTP/vegts221.jpg

[EXCESSV]

i will join the 22" is too big campaign too.
20" is perfect for the VE

[VX2VESS]

maybe some say day soon 80" wagon wheels will be back

[LOCO]

dey dont look like 22'z but still looks stuff

[CarlFST60L]

There called khan?
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/V8GTP/vegts221.jpg

Sorry, but thats the ugliest E Series HSV ever, i think its just that thing on the bonnet, its like a BA :spew:

With u on this one Ncik, to big, to much bling for me

[DRAGON]

The are Khan RSC rims from memory.

The 22's look great on the initial pics! :D The front just needs to be lowered a touch!

[mido2k]

ok flame suit is on...

I think they look to big, but in saying that, if they had more rubber on them, they probably wouldnt look as bad... BUt that just me...

[turtle82]

Looks nice but it would look better if it was dumped a bit lower...imo

[Holden Man]

Now very low >

Must admit it looks better with the darker wheels.

[iron chef]

That is nice but I think the VE clubbies look more like racer-style than cruiser-style so suit a smaller set of wheels but that is still nice

[Oldskoolpushrod]

Spotted this on the Monash this arvo.

LOOKED ****EN MAD.

Gotta be 22's, easy. 1cm guard clearance and UNDER the guard at the back = RE-SPECHT :D

Apologies for mega crappy 1.3mp camera phone pic, but you get the idea. It LOOKED PHAT.

thats the clubby i posted pics of at the start of this thread :D

[bundyvx]

Must admit it looks better with the darker wheels.

Yeah I think it looks better like this but, Where in OZ can you drive such a low car with out having to slow down for everything.

Ive never been in a car with such huge wheels but I bet the Ride doesn't feel like $70k car anymore.

just my 2c

[AVENGE]

Looks tough as, Makes me wanna sell the ute and buy a SS or Clubby and dump it on 22's. Good work.

And V8 GTS, looks damn mean with that black walkinshaw bonnet.

[prodrive]

I think I am the only one who thinks it actually looks worse than stock.

Weird taste if people think this looks right! The car has no rubber.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k286/blaiseyy/veclubby2.jpg



Yes youre the only one, the rest of us LOVE IT. It has plenty of rubber. Plus you have suspension, seats and your ass to absorb the bumps.

edit: Blazey, yeah I wasnt sure if it was the same one cos i couldnt see the plates in your pix and these wheels were spinning at 80kph. :D

[VEGTS]

Looks nice but it would look better if it was dumped a bit lower...imo


Cool holden man! For a daily driver i think i will leave it alone.But that looks tuff so low & the grey i had tried , the first set i put on where silver & got the painted same colour as the original wheels. But saw the chrome on & that was That. the photos do no justice to my car i think. In the flrsh its tuff & everything fits.

[NickS]

Yes youre the only one, the rest of us LOVE IT.

Have you read the thread ? Half the posters have said they are too big, just looks wrong to me ... leave the oversized blingy wheels to the ricers.

:yup:

[EXCESSV]

:yup:yeah your right nicks....your not the only one...some ppl should read the whole thread before posting :stick: :lol:

22s on a VE with rubber band thin tyres....no thanks.
i will upgrade mine soon but only going up to 20"....perfect size imho.

each to there own i guess

we all want our cars nice and low and all want big nice looking rims...but for a daily its not possible

[Belzey]

Don't like the style of rims they are yucko. But whatever floats his boat.

[iloveholden]

I reckon those wheels have to much bling and are generally too big, not enough rubber, i agree. I think 20" on ve look great, but i wouldn't go any futher. Just my 2c

[Oldskoolpushrod]

Yeah I know i didnt read the rest of the thread, but youre all soft anyway.

You must all drive on some mega crappy roads to be hatin' on the 22s. You can get around Melbourne on big wheels, just watch out for potholes, but they could cause you issues even on "little" 18" wheels.

There is a point where wheel size is silly i.e. rappers with donks/bubbles/boxes on 26" wheels and lift kits, but that Clubby is phat.

[chrism697]

i think its just out of proportion!

bigger isnt always better. 19s or 20s fit the VE perfectly

[CarlFST60L]

Yeah I know i didnt read the rest of the thread, but youre all soft anyway.

Its not that about being soft, i just think they are so big they become rice/bling, stock 19's look great imho Deep dish 20's is as far as i will ever go...

The other note to make is that alot of people think there car is hot because it turns heads, but its people thinking completely the opposite...

http://www.oz8.org/gallery/albums/Carl/FST60LHIRES.sized.jpg

PS The red car in the initial post does look tuff in a way, the second car looks like its about to trasform

[plonkerchops]

might as well jump in whilst we're all sharing the love, I think that not only are the wheels too big , the back is far too low. IMHO the wheel should fill the guard, but not disappear into it , buggers up the proportions to my eye :eyes:

[Mungrel]

Agreed with plonkerchops,
the rear looks a little too low and the wheels are a little too big.
a good set of 20's would be my preference.

But hey, each to their own, good on him for being different.

[Oldskoolpushrod]

It's different. Every bloke with a VE Clubby is getting around on those rims, so you need to GO BIG to get an edge and make your car less common.

I know I'm preaching to those who dont want to be converted, but f--k off big wheels jammed under the guards IS COOL. The AutoSalon generation says so :D

[Big_Valven]

Engage Grandpa mode ... too frigging big, 20" looks spot on with the VE, they just look too big for the car.

Let the flaming begin ...

Agreed... IMO the look goes out of balance cos it makes the rotors look too small and there doesnt even look like there's rubber on it... doesn't do it for me.

The style of the wheels are good though, I think I would be drooling on my keyboard right now if they were 20s.

PS I have no idea if I fit into the "auto salon" generation (i'm 18) but you'll never see me in a four-banger with neons and a milo tin exhaust.

I see u drive a Nissan with an S15... I now understand where ur comming from rice and bling :stick:

You know its true what i said about turning heads... 90% of those heads that turn are thinking the oposite to what the driver of the buzz box is thinking

Yeah I know the angle youre tryna work there buddy (that i'm a ricer), but when I first registered with ls1.com.au I used to drive a VS SS on Boyd's billet wheels, and my VK Cal had Simmons :P

Wheels maketh the car :P

I dunno what I was thinking when I bought that SRi ahahah.

I just changed my profile so y'all know that I used to drive Holdens :P

I am a V8 bogan at heart, this turbo thing is just a phase :D

Last time i checked, a supercharged VS Ute has won God of Autosalon :P

Yes there are a lot of pox cars at their shows, but it's helped push the big wheel, big stereo and big power (their dyno comp cars, anyway) themes over the last few years.

[chrism697]

i think if all you notice about a car is the wheels, they have screwed the car. really nice cars are the ones that you look at and go "oh man that is awesome...........what have you done to it"

thats real style in my opinion, and its also a lot harder to achieve. anyone can go down to a tyre shop with a wad of pineapples and say "give me 4 of those big ass dinner plates"

[Oldskoolpushrod]

anyone can go down to a tyre shop with a wad of pineapples and say "give me 4 of those big ass dinner plates"


doubtful.

theres at least $3500 in wheels there before you even buy rubber to fit a 22 inch rim....

that's not pocket change.

[chrism697]

yeah exactly, like I said anyone with a stack of cash can just walk into a shop and say "slap some of those big ones on my car"

in my opinion it takes no sense of style to achieve that............yes wheels do play a big part in the cars look but good wheels compliment the look of the car, not detract from it.

in this case the guy has spent a shitload on a really nice car, then walked into a tyre shop dropped a heap more cash, the end result is people look at it and just say "whoa!!!! those are some big ass wheels" anyway that's just my opinion

[Oldskoolpushrod]

yeah well i reckon youre hatin' for no good reason.

a couple of years ago y'all would have been saying 20 inch wheels was CRAZY TALK. Now look where we are....

[chrism697]

im not hatin for no reason, i just gave you my reason, and like i said its my opinion.

[NickS]

a couple of years ago y'all would have been saying 20 inch wheels was CRAZY TALK. Now look where we are....

On a VZ and earlier ... IMO 20s are crazy, they are just too big.

On the VE I reckon 19s are minimum and 20s are spot on.

[Oldskoolpushrod]

you need to show us how it's done and go:

19" 20" 21" 22" on your collection :D

[FatBoy]

I said earlier in this thread that the car looks porn. I still think it does. If however you had asked would i own it, then no, probably not. Not practical for me...

Get over it though guys, who gives a toss ?? It's his car, his choice. The wheels may not be to everyones liking but hell, he started with a fine car... :)

[undr8d]

big car needs big wheels, looks good

[VEGTS]

big car needs big wheels, looks good

I agree

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/V8GTP/Image027.jpg


I think there is the right amount of tyre and it sits perfect in the gaurds. Every one has their own taste but to say the gaurds dont need filling.:rofl:


http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/V8GTP/hsvgts1.jpg

Again sorry for the first shot phone camera.

[F6Mauz]

Personally like a bit more rubber around the rims

F---K THATS UGLY WITHOUT A WING:spew::spew::spew: I feel sick looking at that.

I never thougth i would see E series HSV brakes and think they look small :lol:

Great car mate, i want similar wheels in a shadow chrome finish

[vyssbeast]

That shows that its not the size, but the style

Those suite the car perfectly!

Bloody amazing, now lets see some under bonnet shots :bow:

[VEGTS]

Love the badge on top of gts. May steal your idea when or if mine gets blown.

[MSCHIF]

That looks awesome, 22's suit it well, doesn't look like a 4wd like some other cars with 22's, the wheels sit in the gaurds nicely.

[VU_SS_UTE]

That shows that its not the size, but the style

Where are the pics of the supercharger?

[team illucid]

Engage Grandpa mode ... too frigging big, 20" looks spot on with the VE, they just look too big for the car.

Let the flaming begin ...

Hi Pops

22" for VE looks like 19" for VT ... just right and not underwheeled.

[NickS]

Hi Pops

22" for VE looks like 19" for VT ... just right and not underwheeled.

**fist waving** ... listen hear you young whipper snapper !!!!!

Actually ... the shots above look much better than the earlier cars, and I think I know why. When you make the wheels wider front and back it starts to look like a lowered Landcruiser, the earlier cars have done that and IMO it just doesn't work.

The car a few posts up seems to have wheels that actually fit in the wheel arches, not exactly my style, but they do look much better.

[coombesy]

that looks awesome! wheels make it look better i believe!

[VEssNoob]

how much do u recon they lowered that thing by ???
looks nice
no good for my driveway though :vpo:

[EpOcH]

Is it just me but the pics at the start of the thread are at different locations ?

I can see a kerb in 2 or so of the pics but not in the other 2 looking at the passenger side.

The only problems with big wheels besides ride *comfort* is that your so afraid to scratch them that you park a mile away from gutters and your car hangs out of the "box" its meant to be in.

Wouldnt he just cry if his car was sideswiped by something ... i guess he'd be in the wrong.

Back OT, i dont think any of them look all that bad , besides that god awfull bonnet scoop catastrophe.

[VU_SS_UTE]

Not really, thats what you have mirrors for...

fkn amazing car!

[Vulture]

I think those wheels would be sensational in black with chrome lip :love:

I'll second that !! photoshop that anyone please?

Cheers

PS whats the name of these rims as I'm very tempted, Red R8 with black tints and about to be lowered with Lovells springs next week I hope. Ive been looking for 20s with Blackspokes, alloy/chrome rim but these 22s might be the ticket!! Also been thinking about the Senator or G8 rear wing as Ive got to admit the couple of R8s/GTS with those wings Ive seen on here have looked very nice.

[SharifE]

Just the right size wheels..

[g8g]

Anyone know the Specs on those wheels CVH posted??

Don't cave in to em Nick they still are too big IMHO rubber bands for tyres etc etc I'm with you on this ... stay the course. :)

I seem to remember me saying something like this about 20" rims until I bought a set of 20" for my VE . Last night I was looking at some new rims and started wondering how 22" rims might look on mine.

cheers

[2_V_OR_NOT_2_V]

What it comes down to is, its your ride, if you want to go huge 22' up why not (you cant please everyone). I love the look of the 22' but i could not justify them for every day driving. i would be scared by gutters and pot holes

[Holden Man]

[iloveholden]

Haha Holden Man those chops look the goods esp the black rims not sure about the oldschool shannons stlye though.

Personally i still think 22" are too big but they don't look that bad depending on the mag stlye but i reckon its impractical.

I nice set of 20" lowered look very nice and you dont have rubber band tyres haha. Although on my VZ the biggest i would go is 19" lowered...just gotta save up some more penies haha

[VEGTS]

Had my first drama with mine today. Hit a pothole about a week ago thought f---k at the time, that hurt. How true that statement was. Got a phone call from the tuner saying cant put it on the dyno after fitting the blower. A dirty big crack in the rim on the inside.Anyway got it sorted & tuning starts tomorrow.

[g8g]

What are the width's and offsets for your wheels?

[stroked senator]

they look alright but cant beat the ve gts rims :)

[jacks_6l]

that GTS with the intro billets looks absolutely awesome they suit it perfectly the size, the style and the ride height all look amazing. what sort of price did they sting you for them wheels with tyres? and did you go through showwheels? id love a set of intro for my vz
