Hi all,

Trying to ID the following set of rims. 16 x 8's. Clearly marked as Holden Special Vehicles on the rear.

Any idea which specific model they might be from?

I'm led to believe there is an inner dress ring that is usually fitted - which would fit into the 5 recessed edges and locate the centre cap. In my case, the previous owner has instead chosen to colour code that area of the rims and not install the extra ring.

Any info greatly appreciated.

Thanks to you both. I went googling - from what I can tell these wheels appeared on the VR (Statesman/Caprice/Grange type model HSV).... this is what they look like complete....

I'll be selling them off - hard to put a price on them though without the inner rings.

Hey mate, if you do consider selling and come up with a price, please pm me. I may be interested depending on how much you’re chasing. Cheers

I ended up spending considerable time on these rims getting them cleaned up and polished. They came up incredibly well. I listed them on ebay and was stunned at the level of interest. You wouldn't believe it either - a guy from SA got in touch who actually had a full set of the inner rings. He ended up buying the set, so they have now been completely returned to original, which is pretty cool.

Here's a rim after being re-united with the missing bits:

He shared a photo of them back on his car and they look pretty neat. It's not my photo to share though.

Anyway - just a bit of a good news story!
