    Question 16" interceptors on VL

    what's up guys,
    Im going to buy a pair of 16" silver interceptors for my vl exec.
    But first i'd like to know if there's anything i need to know or do?

    If they're from a VE, you'll need to modify the centre hub (get them machined) to fit.

    you can get some from the later VZ's which had 16in ceptors or like sabbath said get them machined... holmart.com.au has them already machined for $88 per rim, i think they only have black though
    Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!

    Thanks guys! I understand getting them micchined means to modify the hub, But what exactly does it do to the hub? Thanks again..

    i think the hole in the center is smaller so it needs to be made bigger? (just a guess waiting to be corrected)

    yeah thats right jonnoo, they machine the wheel a bit because the VE hub is smaller diameter
