Losh's VR Ute build thread

[losh1971]

Those spotties would really make a big difference on dark roads.

yeah the HIDs make a massive difference. Was driving one night with the wife and had them on, was saying to the wife hmmm lights don't seem real bright?? Then we dropped them for an oncoming car. It was then i said oh no they are working well. Could hardly see with just low beams, after having the HIDs on for the last 30km. I have some Plus 100 H3s to go in and gonna buy some plus 120 H4s once my current globes blow. Need as much vision as you can over here because of all the wildlife.

I do like the look of those wheels.

They're hsv ones unless copies but guessing not ( probably ) , since they have the hsv center caps.
Wheels will have hsv or Holden special vehicles cast into inside of wheels, if genuine.
They were the style I was thinking of before I came across mine.

I'd have to check if they are genuine HSV's. They are 16s and I have been told they are. Where is the stamp on the back of the wheel?

 

[afstruct]

Should be on the inside of one or two of the spokes.
To my knowledge that style were only 17s .
I'll take a photo of one of mine tomorrow arvo if you want or need.

To my knowledge that style were only 17s .

Probably copies then.

Probably copies then.

16" will be copies of what look like VR clubsport rims which were 17".

You will need to check the size of the centre cap before you go shopping coz likely they will be a diifferent size to genuine HSV.

 

[losh1971]

Might have to try and get a set while I'm in Adelaide next month. Doubtful then the ones I have could be matched.

 

[afstruct]

I would still bet that the center caps are genuine hsv.
Holden and hsv center sizes of same time are same size.
I'll check the size tomorrow arvo .
The ones I got were 4 genuine ones and 1 copy for a spare and center cap sizes are the same

Bloody expensive .

 

[losh1971]

Ouch...... And it says they won't fit my copies....

@losh1971 's rims aren't either Holden or HSV though.
