    I have seen a few VS's with walky rims but it is very tough to make them look good.
    I say keep the VY SS's. They almost always look good on a VS

    hey there
    i have a rule about this keep in mind its only my rule......
    with wheels you can get newer model wheels but i think that you cant go backwards.
    imagine a vy ss with vs ss on it?? look strange i think
    i say keep the vy but only my opinion!
    good luck
    im schizophrenic and so am i

    Here's how mine looked with walky's when I bought it if you want an idea. Not a bad look but not great either.

    Car theives should be treated just like horse theives and cattle rustlers in the days of the wild west... Hang them!

    The ony thing good about Walky's compared to VY SS Rims are the cost of tyres. Your wallet is slightly happier. For looks im 100% for the VY SS wheels.

    my 2cents anyway

    VY SS for sure, old style rims on newer car just doesnt look right to me, unless of course its made to suit them.

    neither, they both don't look good on the VS shape imo. VT Calais International 17's = Best rims for a VS.

    Interesting you should say that. Thats what I went with and sold the walkies for $600.



    I still like them.

    yes I agree! Although scooter 79 looks like you got a bit too much air between your undercarriage and the road there in that pic..

    I'm 99% sure only some VN HSV models (like the VN Clubsport) came from the factory with walky wheels.

    I stand corrected. After doing some research it appears they did come from the factory with walkinshaw wheels.
