Looking for 18" steel wheels

[carplop]

I want to fit cop wheels on my VE V8 Calais but 16"x7" won't fit over the disc brakes.

The American cop Holden (Australian built Caprice) has 18" steel wheels and they look great in photos. Can anybody help me find these wheels?

Just identifying Holden's steel wheel supplier would be helpful.

Would 17" fit?
l put black 17" interceptor wheels on my VE Omega, and it looks great.

Where do 17" interceptors come from? The ute? Cop cars? they don't seem to be very common.

Were the 17s a spare for VE's or something?

I think it would look nice also,especially chromed.

Possibly something BMW will you get a 17" steel wheel with good width..?

...took me like 5 seconds to type it into ebay search.. or was there something else I'm missing here?

All results are 16x7, OP states 16x7 don't fit... Am I missing something?

Holmart have 17 x 7's... looks like you may need these. Fit VE V8 brake packages.

Thanks for help. Still curious about origin of 17" chasers if anyone wants to make further comments. P.S. Yes, I originally looked at eBay too, but could only see 15" & 16"s.

l have got 17x7 black interceptor rims on my VE Omega.
Gives the car that US cop car look.
l bought them from Holmart.
From what they told me, they (wheels) are from export vehicles.
The standard VE centre caps fit OK, but l did have a problem with the wheel nut caps - the plastic ones would not fit as thread was too long.
Did find a solution from a mob in the US called colourlugs, they sold me some lug nut covers cheaper then Holden ones.
l'll get around to taking a pic of car soon.

I picked up a full-size 16" steelie to replace the "space saver" that came with my car, and the Manufacturer appears to be "AUSTEM".
A bit of googling revealed this -
"AUSTEM CO., LTD specializes in the manufacturing of automobile parts and accessories. The Company's product consists of steel wheels; etc, etc, ..."
can't find an address, but.

Check out one of the US based Chev forums or similar. Somebody might be able to get a part number for you which will be a start.
