Still don't think an engine mount would be felt through the steering wheel

It's not diff a rear wheel bearing issue coming thru the steering wheel?

Would an engine mount issue feed thru to the steering wheel?

V6 and I wouldn't expect it to feedback thru the steering wheel, or does it?

I've had wheel bearings that have passed the wobble test and have still been shite. It just seems odd that its not present thru all the speed ranges which is why I thought balance more than bearing. But pretty big coincidence its happening with new tyres and alignment done by a different mob...

Hi everyone, I've got a 2000 VX Commodore with 330K. Still on original factory front wheel hubs. Had a drumming sound which I thought was due to bad wheel alignment/balance. Just got new tyres and balance and another alignment and it is still there. Am I right to think front hubs? or possibly...

Yep should be able to have a look tomorrow. Unless someone has one laying around a garage or workshop.....

Ok So who wants to buy 5 "900" VF17 calais rims. Car has done 18k. Like new NO gutter rash. A few scrapes inside the wheel where the numbnuts at bridgestone pulled off the balancing weights. Can't be seen once fitted to the car.

I'd say all the rims would have 138. Once they are painted up, they would get their proper holden part number which would be stickered to the wheel and that's the number that would be referenced in the parts list.

So Nev these would be "196"

According to Nev, that's a casting number. See his post a bit earlier on. I learnt that today as well. I would have took it for the part number too. That would also explain why the dealer couldn't find it.

And the award goes to..... Ahhhhhhhh. That makes so much sense.

This is in the boot of my 2017 Calais

right! thats exactly what I want. Now is anyone able to confirm a part number. Looked at mine this arvo came up as 92507900. Still has the sticker on the spare So the numbers I have are 92507900 92285196 92274140 92274138 So I have a July 17 Calais V so I know they suit the 900's Prob caprice...

Yeah that's what I've got. The 17 calais wheels. But too light for me. I want either the 16 Calais or 17 SS.

Well I'm after the darker colour. I'll be selling mine once I source some if your interested. Car has only done 18k. I'm going to look at my spare today and see what I actually have

So those photos are your car with the light rims? Interesting as they are the ones that are meant to be on my 17 calais and are much lighter

Prob a stuff up from the dealer. Not like that has ever happened.........

92507900 is the part number I had for the light coloured version. Maybe there is 4 variants. I've got the light version on my 17 calais V and want the wheels with darker inserts so it's closer in colour to the car which is phantom

Anyone got some pics of the SS variant of this wheel. Some close ups maybe.

Was wondering the same thing. From my research there are 3 variants to these rims. The only difference between them being the paint colour and paint finish inside the spokes. All have a clear coated machined face

Ah. That wasn't even the post I was thinking of. Never seen that so it appears the answer is yes. They must have the 48 offset like the redline wheels.

Yes I saw those as well. A member that hasn't been around for a few years but was only a picture of the front so don't know if he did the rears as well

Yes I thought this as well. I haven't seen any pictures with VFs other than Calais and Caprice with these wheels. And SS non redlline. None had factory fitted brembos

I hope very much that is the case. Love to hear from someone that could actually show me a picture of them in place

Famous last words....

Bowdens have a specific item for black plastic trim. I don't recall what it's called as I have never used it but I have used many of their other products and have all been very good value for money and do the job very well. I'd say the chrome on the front is actually a piece of plastic with a...

Has anyone tried fitting Brembo 4 pot REARS to a VF2 with Calais wheels? Do they fit? Heard contrary info saying only the redline wheels will fit. I know they fit the front, but not sure about the rear seeing they are a bigger rotor.

I've got T2 on there now standard size which will be replaced by the redline brakes shortly. When I took off the stock discs, I couldn't give them away. So to the recycling they went. And prob no point holding onto the T2s either once they get replaced.

I thought I would go and check mine after reading your post as I haven't looked at them for a while, and see how much I had if any. And wow wee did I have a Poo load on rhe front ones. No so much on the rear and neither front or rear set of vents painted. Might just do the top edge. It's been a...

Hands up who wants to be a legend and tell me how much of the top and how much of the bottom, your brembo pads don't sweep the front and rear rotors. An approximate mm would be nice. I know it will be dependant on the brand/model/ of the actual pad as well as the machined size of the rotor face...

I've got these for the four corners DBA4000XS

Ceramic

Thanks for the info.

I noticed the rear brembo ceramic pads and a few other brands have what appears to be anti squeal shims attached. Is everyone still putting the holden ones in as well when using pads with shims attached or leaving them out?

Hi Chrisp I have a brand new set with the counterweights. But don't have the calipers on the car yet. Just would like to have the correct pads ready and on hand to go straight on when the calipers do go on. Don't want to find out at install time the pads i have won't fit.

THanks Sky. I know that the VF2 rims fit over Brembos Without the counterweights. Another member posted a picture of his car with brembos and the same rims. Won't be going to 18 or 20s thanks.

Excellent. Great info

Or I can just by the right ones straight off the bat.

Is anyone using Brembo NAO ceramic pads, (not REMSA, DBA, RDA or any other brand) with front Brembo's on VF? How is the noise, if any, and are you using the type with or without the counterweights. Did the counterweighted variety lessen noise and did they clear your rims? I want to fit them...
