    My worst decision ever!

    To Aussie Willy, I created the topic to warn others that the arse has fallen out of Holden prices. If you thought your vehicle was worth $xxxx, it's more than likely worth much much less. And it was posted for the benefit of others thinking of buying a Commodore, happy now? I am...

    My worst decision ever!

    A few months back I bought a Commodore Omega on factory LPG. It was built in late December 2010 and first registered in Jan 2011. I paid $24,000. I put new tyres and mag rims on it and a few other minor mods. I had re-badged it to a Buick, however, it's now back to being an Omega...

    Omega 16" Rim question please

    I just put new tyres on and I want to use them. I also want to retain the integrity of the ride. For a cost of $480 for the rims delivered with wheel nuts etc, the cost is nothing to have a half decent rim. A mate of mine owns a Mitsubishi dealership, he will change them over for free.

    Omega 16" Rim question please

    All sorted. The offset is +36 however it will take up to +40. The rims I was interested in the USA were selling at $147 each, I found the same rims at Talab Tyres and they are only $100 each. They are made in the USA.

    Omega 16" Rim question please

    I think you are right Shorty. The problem is that searching the web in Australia I have not been able to find any 16 inch chrome rims. I found some in the USA on Amazon with a +40 offset, naturally I wouldn't be able to test fit them.

    Omega 16" Rim question please

    Thanks for the reply, so, the size 16X7, +35MM OFFSET, 5X120 will be alright? I know that the size 16x7 is OK 5x120 is the way to go However, I really have no idea about the offset. Reading up on how to measure offset, it seems that I need to remove the tyre from the rim to do the...

    Omega 16" Rim question please

    I have just put new tyres on my a MY11 Commodore VE Omega, so I want to replace the standard 16 inch rims and keep the tyres. Would I be right in assuming that the replacement rim should be sized 16X7, 35MM OFFSET, 5X120 Would the bolt pattern 5X115 also fit?

    Boot Scuff Plate

    Yea, I saw those, however, it's just a bit of expensive carpet and does not permanently cover the existing scratches. I am surprised that there are no aftermarket bumper scuff plates around for Holdens. I would think that there would be a big market for these if they were quality and well...
