    Your father is a stooge who didnt listen to me on the telephone, as I gave him measurements including PCD measurements and warned him that aftermarket discs or adapters may be needed to fit a commodore as these didnt originally come off a Commodore.
    For $350, you could have bought a set of adapter plates and fitted them to your VL, which is what I had when they were on my VN. It was your choice to come down to Melbourne and go back empty handed.
    As for your father wanting to go me, I would loved to have seen him try, as it would have been lights out for him, and you too if you had tried to get your obese ass involved. Oh and BTW learn to drive next time you try to back into someone's driveway.

    One of the rims is clearly damaged on the lip which makes it dangerous to use. Simmons has ceased manufacturing wheels so good luck trying to get it fixed - not to mention the cost.
    Question mark on the integrity of the other rims.

    In the sellers defence no where does it say they are to suit a commodore and it has the PCD and offset listed.

    Its a set of metal plates that you bolt onto the front of the brake disc before you bolt the wheel on. It allows you to fit any wheel to your car, no matter what offset or pcd.
    Heres an example. WHEEL HUB BILLET ADAPTORS CHANGE STUD PCD AND OFFSET - eBay Other Wheels, Tyres, Wheels, Tyres, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 25-Sep-09 14:58:19 AEST) .
    You may also be able to get aftermarket brake discs for a Commodore with the right PCD.
    As for that flat spot, I didnt notice it until now, but I've had rims in the past with worse, and the most it ever cost me to get them repaired by a rim shop was $80. I'll drop the price to $1100 to reflect that.

    All Commos are 5*120, why would you drive 800 k's when it states they are 5*110, anyone got a merc or audi?

    After having a chat with a tyre fitter mate, I found out that these will fit most Opel made cars directly, including Astra, Vectra, Zafira and Calibra. It can also fit some other European-made cars.

    $1000 is the lowest I will go, especially as there are 2 almost new Bridgestone's on there which retail for $250 a pop, and the fact that there is virtually no gutter rash anyway. There is a flat spot on one rim but I have already reduced my price heaps already (originally wanted $1500) so at $1000 this is a bargain for genuine Simmons which arent being made anymore.
