Pretty much some of the things on my early to do list When its not all wet and muddy outside wanna pull the mud flaps off it and already looking around for some wheels dont know what i want yet... Defiantly want them black

Don't go completely black, you can't even see them at night, just looks like stockies.

Your pics aren't there any more?

Think hostingbytes went down the place my pic was on... uploaded it again.

Does anyone know that the go is with the rules of changing wheels in NSW? Im looking at getting some 19" wheels but the car currently has the standard 16" wheels and have been told that any more then a 2" increase is a defect?

Have a search on here and you"ll be able to find plenty of thread about it, the overall consensus seems to be as long as the rolling diameter isn't more than 2" off standard (so you need the correct load rating tyres etc).

I"ve got 19" SSV Thunders on my VY S and my best mate has had 20's on his VZ Sv6 for 4 years and been pulled over plenty of times but never defected for wheels (this is all in vic though)

I've always been told (not 100% on it though) that you can go 2 inches larger than the largest size wheel holden offered from factory on that series. So I know VY HSV's had 19" as a choice so 21" would technically be the largest you could legally go on a VY. Ill add, most people I know who have thought of going larger than 20" have had fitting or scrubbing issues so 20" seems a good size to go to.
