Default what rims are these?







i like the look of them, look like a cleaner version of the VX GTS rims to me and im interested in getting some for my VS, but tossing up between these, VE SS, or VY CV8-R rims.

VE rims do not fit anything older than VE without modification, they have a different stud size and locating spigot size.

cheers for the answers guys. I must admit i'm a little dissapointed that these are copies, genuine VX GTS really are quite unaffordable for a uni student..

Wheels

They are VX GTS rims they also look very similar if not the same as VY II Clubby rims.

They CV8-R rims dont have the indented line in each spoke, and they are a lot more rounded, so they are not CV8 copies.

You can tell they are noy genuine by the webbing in the center of the rim around the stud holes.

The Genuines came in Silver and Shadow Chrome.

Then get the fakes. Unless your car is a full genuine VX GTS then having genuine wheels doesn't matter! No one's going to say whoa you're so much cooler b
