Interceptors

[MAC-VN]

iv been looking for a decent set and i cant find any
i want the ones with the crome lip not sure if it a dress lip
and the centercaps

iv looked at few wreckers pick apart n it seemslike they hard find ones i want in melb

anyone got any ideas were to look cheers

[pow3rslave]

you can get the chrome lips from autobarn.

[black as]

Try Ebay

[Morton]

Chrome lips = ebay or autobarn, centrecaps = ebay.

[levymetal]

i prefer stockies without centrecaps. had them on my old car, but it looks tougher without them. chrome lips are also available at bursons (saw them the other day)

[Morton]

I'm with you on that one, levy I ran my ceptors without centrecaps or dress rings. I love 'em standard

[Eliminator]

keep searching until you find the 7 inch wide rims (stock is onyl 6 inch) they handle a little better but are also more expensive if the person selling them to you know what they are..

Anyway i prefer CLEAN interceptors with hubcaps keeps the cops away

[Renno]

Get some VE inters for $60 each brand new, 16x7 inch FTW!!!!!....needs to get the Hubs machined to fit tho....

[pjdm1980]

Alloy rims are so cheap these days and so many shapes and sizes i can't see why you'd bother, and no one should put interceptors on Stato's and Calais!!!!!!
But hey what ever floats your boat!

[Hsv807]

i got 15x7 ceptors for sale with chrome metal centre caps if interested....

[Hsv807]

oh yeah pm me if interested, cheers

[bj42turbo]

Yeah interceptor look wheels wether 15x6 or 15x7 look great with chrome trims on the RIGHT car but I may be biased. I am not real keen on 16inch VE wheels on VN-VP though

I SO agree with that

15x7 = interceptors = win. 15x6 = painted stockies = fail

old thread, but anyway when a 225 fits on a 6" rim then i don't see why it matters . you don't need any wider than that so 15x7 or 15x6 who cares. may as well save the money for something else. and mortons stato should be running on silver ceptors all the time, that would be sex

[savage1987]

15x7s ftw

[padrickz88]

So true, 15x7's look so much better... That little bit of dish makes such a difference

225 on a 15x6 makes you crab...

Just because you can physically fit a tire to a rim, it doesnt mean its a good idea

[levymetal]

15x7s ftw

yes i stand corrected, i never examined 15x7s before but that definitely makes a difference and looks tough as. sam has opened my eyes

can you elaborate on this? padrickz, myself, and a few others are running 225s on a 6" rim and i certainly haven't had or heard of any problems, but i don't know what crab means

[Stock_Vn_Berlina]

Just to throw my 2 cents in but when you go to the wreckers allways have a quick look in the back of any holdens there cuz most of the time there are interceptors as spares with brand new tyres and they go cheap!!!!

[Rowenb]

Get some wheels n find a place that can weld the centre to an 8 inch rim, morton and may in sydney i believe does or did this i heard through the grape vine as i seen em done for a torana to run drag slicks.

[2DIE]

15x7

225s on the rear make them look even fatter

Looks nice on my Calais, better than standard hubcap looking mags.

Too miuch bulge in the sidewall, and it leads to a lot of sideways movement or 'rolling' of the tire.

I have actually taken to running a 205/60 on my 15x7s, you stick a hell of a lot better in corners - which more than makes up for the lost 20mm in tread width (vs a 225)

Interesting, I might stick with 205s on my front 7s and try force a 245 on the rear ones... need all the straight line rear grip i can get :P
