    Monaro CV8's are the best rims, ever.

    That caliper needs to be painted red though.

    At the time I bought these off eGay for peanuts because they were better than hub caps.. But they've grown on me. I just wish they weren't scraped by the previous owner.

    Your best bet is to scroll through the vr-vs my ride section and check out all the different rims people have, there must be 100s of different ones there.

    One of my favorites are the Vs senator wheels check em out

    can i get peoples honest opinions on what they think walkies look like on a vs?
    i mean i like em but if you think they look shit say so. i probably wouldnt have bothered with rims but i got them cheap with good rubber on em so yeh.

    That's exactly what i mean, they don't belong, look out of time on the newer commodores, hence the don't look good to me on anything past the VL.

    Here is my view on it. The walkies were designed for a smaller car like the vl, and they look very nice on VB-VL. When you take them and put them on a bigger car, they look out of place to me. An extreme example would be putting the VS SS wheels on the VE, they'll look to small and out of place. OR putting the monaro rims on the HSV VE

    i agree they do look a bit small, my back end had alot of room between the tyre and arch which doesnt help. still they dont look shit and look a hell of alot better than hubcaps.
    im not a well off guy anyway so its not like i can afford 18s either.

    the stanard rims under the hubcaps can look allright cleaned up and sprayed mattblack or similar if you want a cheap option.
