My VXII Berlina Wagon

[Husky]

So I really need to do some stuff to this car. Unfortunately 2 kids and a pandemic has really slowed progress. I've been keeping up on maintenance and the car is still very pleasant to drive, despite that fact it has now done 390,000km (More than the average distance from earth to the moon)

Unfortunately I was forced to make a small change a while back when I suffered a blow out on the Monash freeway and completely stuffed one of the rims. adding to this that one rim already had a fixable buckle and I had to choose to either fix the fixable rim and replace the 4th, buy 4 more wheels the same (As I was struggling to find people selling partial sets), or buy a whole new set.

So I did the unthinkable and bought 4 new SMALLER rims. Odd choice for some I bet however the ride is noticeably better. They are 17 inch wheels off of a VF Evoke, however I still have 3 of the 18 inch Calais rims if I choose to go back.

I really can't decide which I like better. Still waiting on centre caps as well.

New vs Old.

New wheel, now with centre caps. Also had the car lowered just a bit, which while I think it looks good, is bloody annoying for getting places.

Got sick of the broken pockets so I ordered so new ones. Didn't realise until after the install they are a slightly lighter shade but that doesn't bother me. Yet.

Hi
Where did you get the pockets from, new, used?

New, from holmart_online from eBay. You have to break the retaining clips to remove them as well, so you need to buy those.
