Yesterday I placed my order with Holden a Black on Black VE calais 6litre auto wagon with 20" GTS wheels and the expected delivery date is end of April or early June, can't wait then it's off to power torque for a little massage. I will post pic's the day I pick it up. :burnout::burnout::burnout::burnout::goodtime:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you would've had to pay full price on the rims, and not a changeover price for the Calais-GTS swap. You can't exchange Clubby wheels for GTS ones otherwise everyone would just buy the Clubby and put the GTS wheels on as an option. So if I remember right, the rims would've set you back nearly $8K?

It's only money, I only like genuine things so I guess I had to pay for it.

Congrats on the purchase!
On the GTS rims....
I thought they only fitted R8s and GTS. Not the general holden stable.
I ordered my R8 with GTS 20s! Mine comes 1st week of March:smilesandbanana:

I have spotted a dealer press release stating that the the wagon will carry a $2.5k premium over its sedan counterpart.

I've never been a wagon person, but this new one looks absolutely sensational.
Hell even some of the Ford boys said they would switch camps, just for this.

Relax, that's an Adelaide thing :stick:
Wagon looks fantastic. White would be my colour though, with black mags with chrome rim.

Yes it is $2,500 over the same car in a sedan across the range. Lowered a little and 20" a medium tint I will be happy for quite a while I'm sure.
I got the GTS wheels as a customer put 22" chrome wheels on his GTS and I was in the right place at the right time. I seen a couple of people driving GTS with aftermarket wheels (it's an individual thing I guess) I can't talk my vx clubby has 20" deep dish Miami's on it.
Happy to answer all questions on the purchase.
Take care.
