NOW THE NEW PROUD OWNER OF A 2008 VE R8 CLUBBY WOO!!
Those rims look amazing. Can I ask how much they set you back? And do they come in 20's? I've been hearing the VE's aren't supposed to have 22's?
thanks for the replys.
Why can't VEs have 22"? clearly they fit
Rims + tyres were $3400
And I'm pretty sure they come in 20s
Looks nice mate, love the pics!
I think 22's change the rolling diameter which means your speedo will be out. Plus the Tyres most likely won't be have the correct load rating.
Some people say less talk more action, i say more torque less traction.
Check Out My Rig Monaro CV8z![]()
Obviously they fit :P That's not what I meant lol. I meant don't the Police have something to say about 22's?
I dunno, just what I heard, could be completely wrong
But cool as.I love em lol. Might be changing my mind on getting my rims... I was looking at XHP Blade Blacks before. But these take the cake.
Yeah they would put my speedo out but haven't had any problems from speed cameras going the speed limit so it must not be a big margin.
So issues from cops never been pulled over in this ute and no comments when
I got Rbt-Ed.
I disagree 22" fit perfectly on a VE - when 20s are
fitted it makes the rim look smaller then they actually are.
Looks the goods mate if your worried about your speedo a quick recall would do the trick but me personally I'd leave it looks tough
Car looks awesome. Great photography. Love the shots with the flowing water!! Can you let me know what LED parking lights you got ie what and where you bought them from? I'm looking for some that doesn't look blue!
Cheers

Seen this car in the flesh and must say it looks absolute mint love the HID's and the ride height.
(I'm the young fella that works at liquorland in wollongong by the way haha)

As potta9 said there are places that can recalibrate the speedo.
Keep the good work up.
Thanks again for the replies guys.
loku16 - I got the parker lights off ebay - just do for search for VE LED Parker Lights and it should come up.
CV60VE - Cheers man, got your VE yet or what? and as for the drive way, I do it with great skill ha.
CHARGEDVTS - Do you know where to get maloo parts? as I thought you had to have a Maloo VIN to be able to get them from holden?
as for the speedo not really fussed about it at all, so maybe recalibrate it in the future.
unless u can get a tailgate on ebay or here u will have trouble gettin them like u said u need the vin n rego of the car etc a maloo to get parts from holden
now on the other hand if u got a mate that has one ask him to get it for ya ;-)
