    Default Old Hotwire Mags On a VN commo?

    ive got a old set down the back im thinking about putting on my VN, they're not painted and have no tyres atm, so i cant really put them on the car to see what they would look like, anyone got any pics? or just a general opinion?
    the ones i got are
    15 x 7 front
    15 x 8 back

    Old HQ stud pattern (commodore)

    HQ-WB Stud Pattern is different to Commodore stud pattern. YOU WILL BREAK WHEEL STUDS, not the best thing to happen at speed.

    Now for the dickwank who wants to argue this with me again, do some research first, PLEASE!

    They will go on with force, which is why so many people think they "fit", but its putting stress on the studs, the difference in stud patterns is a bees dick really, but its enough to put stress on the studs causing them to snap.

    In the long run its cheaper to buy suited wheels
