    Caprice wheels for sure - they're so clean looking. The grange rims look like hubcaps.

    Hate to sound technical, but it's WM, not VE. And the second ones look like VY Senator option wheels. They may have been fitted to the same era Grange, I'm not 100% sure.. but they are definatly not WM Grange.

    I'd go the Caprice wheels, the others look fugly

    i personally reckon those grange rims (or whatever they actually are, i thought they were internationals at first) look fantastic on that wagon, tempted to get some for the ute haha!
