Although not technically 'interceptors', but steel wheels come in 14x5.5, 15x6, 15x7 and 16x7.

I'm fairly certain that the only straight-fit ceptors you can get are the black 15*6s, and the silver 15*7s. You can get them custom made to another size (like 15*8 for V6 Vengance)... and I think VEs use a 16" ceptor. But I've heard they require some form of adaptor or alteration to fit properly onto earlier models. No idea what that's about.

VZ utes run a 16x7 with the same PCD as all VB-VZ commodores, the VE sedans run a 16x7 but the centres need to be milled out to fit on a VB-VZ hub.

cheers airstrike, can you move this thread for me, don't know how i managed to post it here, things a bit slowtoday, thought i was back in the regular VN/VP section.

looks like i'm going to have a good look around his yard to find 4 clean 15x7" ceptors

You can find 15x7s on the utes, they are a stronger heavy duty wheel and are the same ones the Police used. I bought some new from Holden and they are silver on the outside and black on the inside, 500 bucks including new tyres, centre caps and nuts (bargin)

thats not abad price, unfortunatly holden here in NZ are absolute ripp-offs and i think they'd want an arm and a leg for something like that.

had a look at the wreckersyesterday and he had plenty there, some with good rubber on to, just need to get some that are in good nic and good rubber for $40ea do you need the nuts as well or will any do?

[Morton]

I used the same nuts on my 15*7 ceptors as my standard stockies. Should have the same bevel on them I don't even use the centrecaps. Hate them.

They use a different nut on the 15x7's to suit the centre caps. I have the correct ones on my VR........but that's a BT1
It won't hurt using the standard nuts, just don't put centre caps on or the locating tabs break.

cheers, i'll run without the center caps (don't need the extra weight )

LMAO! They're plastic and hide the ugly bearing dust caps. If your not going to run them at least take the bearing caps of and paint them the same colour as the wheels, nothing more annoying then nice shinny silver ceptors with rusty bearing caps.

good, with the manual i'm finding traction a real problem, hopping this will go a long way to solve it. (should be a lot better at a properly prepped track hopefully)
