What kind of wheels are you after? You can get a set of VY SS wheels on eBay for around $400, or VZ SS wheels for around $600. VE wheels are probably a bit more, why would you want replicas?

You can get brand new genuine GMH or HSV wheels from Wheel King for a fairly good price. I bought my VY Sigs off them for $2300. I got a quote from Holden and they said $1000 each.

Still, there's sets of replica Sigs with tyres on ebay for say, $1800 Just wondering if they're too good to be true.

These are replicas:

I was going to advertise my VY Sigs (Genuine) around $1800 - $2000, but I was going to polish them up first.

just Read that whole thread, now im scared out of it haha. Although there is a few people saying they haven't had a problem with their replicas. hmm but yeah i might try find a set of 2nd hand replicas in good condition. I'm most likely going to get them powdercoated in black so a few scratches shouldnt be a problem
