    They're not that common but I have seen them quite recently on a VT. I think there might be a few members of this forum who have them too.

    And also Wheelking doesn't sell replica rims so if they have a Holden ceter cap they're Holden made. Their probably Holden By Design Rims.

    There is no such thing as stupid questions, Only stupid people.

    i believe they are similar to VT senator rims and VT SV99 rims. ill see if i can find a comparison picture

    EDIT: My apologies, they are neither Sv99, Senator or grange rims (not VT style anyway)
    got me stumped guys

    Wheelking lists VS Senator wheels for $3800 with Falken tyres so I guess that's what the insurance company based replacement cost on.

    of course it is way too much, but thats not the point is it :P thanks to wheel king i get a nice payout if some idiot does something which results in a f'd wheel.

    Back on topic though, i really like the wheels in the OP.
