I want to fit cop wheels on my VE V8 Calais but 16"x7" won't fit over the disc brakes.

The American cop Holden (Australian built Caprice) has 18" steel wheels and they look great in photos. Can anybody help me find these wheels?

Just identifying Holden's steel wheel supplier would be helpful.

Where do 17" interceptors come from? The ute? Cop cars? they don't seem to be very common.

Were the 17s a spare for VE's or something?

can I ask what the spare wheel is in your boot?
because mine is a 16" and I'm curious as to what holden supplied to you that would fit your brakes.

Thanks for help. Still curious about origin of 17" chasers if anyone wants to make further comments. P.S. Yes, I originally looked at eBay too, but could only see 15" & 16"s.
