    I think the original design was on the VR GTS's?
    I could be wrong, but usually one years gts rims are next years clubsport rims are next years ss rims are next years s pack rims lol

    Your right, VR GTS design (they weren't continued on VS as far a i know)

    The thing is, are they original or copies! If they're copies, the guy ripped himself!



    Ugly ****in rim IMO

    I would imagine originals would be stamped somewhere inside the wheel with the HSV logo, if they're off a VR GTS.

    I did a search on yahoo and found a web site with a Vr gts and it has the same wheels.

    Wheels on the right hand side of the page.

    After looking at the ones on the website, did all of them have that gts logo?

    I'm not 100% sure if thats a factory thing! Keep in mind almost every Holden/HSV wheel has had a copy made of it! So chances are its a copy. Either way, nothing wrong with a copy, like i said, i hate the design of the rim, no matter what the brand!


    They will have ROH printed on the back of one of the spokes, aswell as HSV on a different spoke.

    they are VR Senator rims, same as VR GTS rims but the GTS rims have a GTS sticker on them.

    they should have 'holden special vehicle' stamped on the back of one spoke per rim

    thats a good buy if there genuines.

    STEALTHY: i quite like the rims

    Ah huhhhhhhh! I had no idea the Senator and the GTS shared the same rim. You learn some thing new every day!

    I will be going back to the wreckers next week to pick them up and I will look for the 'holden special vehicle' stamp. Thanks heaps mate!

    Also..... Does anyone know the price of powder coating???? Or should I just get them restored????
