VF SS wheels

According to Nev, that's a casting number. See his post a bit earlier on. I learnt that today as well.
I would have took it for the part number too.

Yeah i saw it but its a bit confusing - is the theory that the rims with the confirmed 138 stamp are actually the 140 part number?

If so that's pretty odd ...

I'd say all the rims would have 138. Once they are painted up, they would get their proper holden part number which would be stickered to the wheel and that's the number that would be referenced in the parts list.

No, it's a casting part number I think. When I checked with the Holden dealer, they gave me 3 variants and part numbers and what models they fitted. I suspect they all may have the 138-part number cast into them.

Ok
So who wants to buy 5 "900" VF17 calais rims. Car has done 18k. Like new NO gutter rash. A few scrapes inside the wheel where the numbnuts at bridgestone pulled off the balancing weights. Can't be seen once fitted to the car.

As confusing as that sounds it might actually explain the hassles i had tracking down a spare

Just out of interest - @ KING can you look on the back of your spare and see if its stamped with the 138 number?

This thread will help anyone else in future tracking down a spare..

Yep should be able to have a look tomorrow. Unless someone has one laying around a garage or workshop.....

I had a look behind my Calais/Caprice wheels with a mirror and it has the same 138 casting number.

The other 3 part numbers KING46Calais V posted are correct, I found the piece of paper I wrote them on when talking to our Holden dealer.

Might be better if you split? Buying 5 in a hit is hefty!

I’ve actually been looking for a couple as I have gutter rash on two of my rims. MY17 Calais V, it’s what happens when you let the wife drive instead of yourself. (Oops!!)
