it will be defectable unless its an adr aproved wheel. the brands that do them are momo, isotta and some saas wheels (i think thats the brand name)

[stocky]

problem will be if it has a padded centre or not, and also diameter. theyre the basic problems anyway

[greenfoam]

VN's need an ADR approved wheel and a wood grain with no padding wont pass. You can use them on older cars no problem, not sure what date the laws on wheels started but mabe 86' or something like that. But the last thing you need is your skull cracked open so it's best to have a safe wheel anyway

was told they r illegal here in perth as i had 1 in wen i bought my VP, still it went over the pits and it passed tho i only had 2 wire up the horn 4 it. i heard they splinter wen they break thats y they r illegal but it looked crap in my car so i got rid of it 4 both those reasons neways.

its always a mind feild when it comes to ANYTHING thats not stock standard here in new south wales (newcastle ) i put a sports wheel on my vp and it passed the pits no probs i think in the end no matter where ya live its up to the copper if he / she wants to enforce the law
makes it hard to turn ya car into a rollin peice of art work but hey
ya best bet is to ask at ya local cop shop mate

I bought my VP with a sports wheel with a metal centre in it, I was very uncomfortable driving it like that so it was one of the very first things I removed. It now has a VP SS wheel, much nicer, better and safer. I don't mind if my cars technically illegal but I need it to be safe

Keep your car(s) legal and you won't have a worry in the world regarding defects, insurance, accident injury etc.

define legal. every mod can = defect

your suggesting we all drive around in vk's with venetians ?


unless its adr approved you will get yellow sticekred
