I went old school on my build with 17x8 and 17x9 chasers. Managed to squeeze 275's on the rear. It's a great balance of comfort vs performance. I imagine they could work well on early models too


Yeah they do look good and I considered these, but a lot of VKs already have them. Rarely see them on newer cars tho and yours looks mint

Looks like they're still available, along with their other classic style rims HERE .....ahh the memories.

I had these on my Holden HT Monaro, i just wish i could fit something like these to my Holden WM Caprice...

I contacted a company that makes Mag / Alloy Wheels that look very similar to the Dragways but unfortunately i stuck out again as they said:

"Unfortunately we don't have the right offset for the WM. Sorry about that"

For now i am quite happy with the "VF SS/SSV Black Edition Alloy Wheels" that i fitted to my Holden WM Caprice, but if i end up tracking down a set that are like the Dragway Mag Wheels in the future i would be very interested in a set..

By "for a price" I meant getting them custom made.

A former member on here had custom width VR Senator rims made.....at a price.

I have to agree with you that most modern wheels don't suite them hence I found these original Holden globe 15 inch wheels, to me the suite the car better

I ended up going with some 16" American Racing wheels. They look similar to the Dragways but way easier on the budget.
