VF SSV Redline Wheels - Longshot

[Twitch]

I am not sure which I prefer. Ended up going white so get the black rims but would like to see with chrome. Only ordered ~2 weeks ago so don't know when due to be delivered

I disagree. Ever since Series II VE, from SV6 through SS and SS-V/Redline they have had the same.

VF SS-V



VF SS-V Redline

Plenty,
Before settling on the SS-V Redline, I also test drove a SS and could definitely feel a difference in the seating – in particular the side bolstering in the bottom cushion of the seat.
I remembered reading something about it and found the answer in the 2013 Training Information Guide. This is a much thicker brochure given to sales staff for their training on VF and normally not seen by the public.
In that under seating it mentions:
- SV6 and SS seats feature more aggressive bolsters for body hugging support.
- V series seats combine sports back and bolster support with a superior – grade cushion.

So that is obviously what I noticed, when I test drove the cars. In VF at least there is some subtle differences across the range.

The dealer part i was referring to was the OP question about the wheels, the interior would be done at the factory with a custom order. The dealer assures me he can get it done, i can only go on what he says.

We have ordered a VF Redline ute and were told there is no way the interior inserts could be changed to black. Apparently there may be an option to change this down the track, however the reason given to us was due to the overwhelming number of people buying the new VF, they just wanted to get cars on the road. the Same goes for the wheels. Our dealer said if you do not like the chrome or black depending on which colour car you choose, get another set from BJ T marts. We said we are not buying a 50000 car and then paying extra for different wheels. We wanted the Regal peacock green but was told the wheels were black. We took an extra week to decide that black wheels on the green may look crap. On further examination, we found different colour cars come with either black or polished rims. Seems dealer had NFI. Now we have ordered the regal peacock as it definitely comes with the pushed rims.....

The optional HF-20 look a whole lot better in my opinion

They're pretty horrible rims IMO. I reckon not much chance of getting the money he's asking for them when you can get a set of new SV alloys for not much more.

To each their own wonky. I have those rims on my Maloo R8 and reckon the look awesome. Particularly from 10m away as the black part disappears and all you see is the thin silver spokes. These are certainly nicer then the E2/E3 GTS wheels in my opinion.

Sorry Damo - didn't mean to criticise. You're right when you say "to each their own". I'm sure some people don't like things I've done on my car but I love it and that's all that matters to me!

Exactly. Mind you, when the E2 GTS wheels came out, the majority of people were extremely disappointed. They went on to become extremely popular finding their way on all sorts of models, VE and prior. I expect the same from these wheels (they're really not that different).

I have purchased a Black VF SSV Redline Ute and would also love to swap the chrome rims for black.

The dealer I purchased from said I could option the black rims for $1300 more... screw that.

[VNV8]

Why would anyone swap if they've paid an extra $1300 for the black wheels? I was with Wonky on the VF HSV wheels until I saw them in the flesh on a black clubsport, looked different, but very good. Same goes for the whole car actually, didn't like it in photos etc. but different in the flesh, especially in black.

[vfblack]

$1300 more is absolute bullshit, so if you buy white, orange or red your wheels are worth $1300 more. These dealers are pulling there cocks
