    Red face new wheels to replace 15"steel wheels

    What are the problems with putting bigger size on? I want genuine VZ ute wheels. What was the production run in wheels, if they wern't steel?
    The colour is silver with a torneu cover, and I would love some feed back, please.

    any holden wheel from the vz range you wont have a problem with, i recommend some vz monaro wheels, there 18 inch and also where fitted to the thunder utes

    also the 17 inch sv6 wheel is nice if you want something smaller, that also came on the "S" utes

    The S ute variants were 16" jobbies tho. +1 for the monaro wheels, I have a set on my ute and i think they look pretty good. Would look better if my ute was lowered tho

    Check the over all rolling diameter but it should be pretty close. I went from 16's to 18's and my speedo is still right because as the rim gets bigger the tyre profile gets smaller so the rolling diameter is the same
