    Nope. Any VN-VS non airbag wheel will fit no problems tho.

    Well that sucks. Do you have any idea what a stock wheel goes for ? I think i would go for a
    VP (One after VN) as VN are quite large.

    Theres a few different styles. VN Calais/SS looks good (had one on my wagon which is for sale) or you could try your luck at finding a smaller leather wrapped Calais International wheel.

    The original VN wheels are quite large. Atleast the Calais ones don't look as bad as the standard ones.
    My car came with a extra small crappy wheel. Can't read tacho etc and the grip material is coming
    off. I just wanted something cheap and legal to replace it with, otherwise i have to buy a decent sports
    wheel and use the same boss. My interior is that steal bluish colour but i see your in SA. Thanks Anyway.

    I am not sure what i will do. Is the VS like the VR or is it a Statesman or the larger
    commodore from 1998. If so, wouldn't they all have AirBags ?

    VP SS/Calais wheels are the best stock ones that will fit properly. Followed by the VN SS/Calais wheel. The VR/S ones bolt on but they don't fit properly

    That wheel looks pretty cool. Are they expensive. If so, i might as well get a good Sports
    Wheel. Did it fit with no problems. Also, my Dash has a Tacho to the left and the two small
    gauges to the right. Would this be a later than VN version gauge cluster ?

    Yours is a level 2 Dash. The one in the pic is a Level 1 Dash (both easily interchangeable without any wiring changes.) The black SS wheels are quick expensive, but there are other colours you can get.....

    My gauges look like the ones in that photo. Are those wheels expensive ? Does it fit OK ?
    Black would be alright but my interior is that steal blue colour. Every ones interior is in real
    good condition compared to mine also. Think i need some armour oil. I have used Suntan
    lotion in the past for the UV protection. (Obviously for fading not car cancer)

    VS cluster ? nah they shouldn't set you back much at all, just head down to your local wrecking yard, and pull one off a VS, make sure it has no air bag, and yeah the fit is really good, its really comfortable as well to drive

    I only paid $33 for it from a wreckers that just has standard prices irrellerent of what car they off or what condition they are in.
    It did take me a while to find one though in such good condition with no wear or rolling rim.
    Its a factory wheel so perfect fit. VN VP are virtually the same.

    And I was prepared to pay over a hundred for one in perfect condition.
    I even drove 200km round trip to buy one that was in perfect condition. Got there and I would say the condition was very very very poor, wasn't happy and he is a big seller here D**K HEAD.

    I think I got my VP SS one for about 50 bucks but I had to inject it with glue, no problem for me I'm expert at fixing steering wheels , it's one of the best things I've ever bought
