    Default vx wheels

    G'day to all,

    Some time ago I had my 2001 VX lowered on king springs and had a set of 17inch wheels put on it. Seven years down the track all the chrome from the wheels are starting to peel off and it's looking pretty bad!

    My question is, am I able to go back to original wheels (15 inch) or something like the interceptors (15 inch)? Will this work on a lowered car or do I need to raise the car to original height again?

    Sorry about the silly question.

    Cheers in advance.

    At the moment thinking about putting stockies back on. Just thinking about the cost of getting the current ones fixed. Also in the long run it will cheaper to replace 15 inch tires than the 17 inch tires. Budget is a bit tight and third baby on the way!!

    First I have to try and track down some stockies as I did not keep the old ones. Does anyone remember what the width of the original rim was? Is it 15x7?

    Cheers.
