The bling has started.....

[YootDriver]

I've been looking around for a set of mags and as most of you already know the VE isn't the easiest to find mags that fit - even though it's still a 5 stud pattern there are only a small amount of wheels out there if you don't want to spend megabucks or keep it to 18's.

I'm not crazy about black mags against the Ivy - I do like the BBS wheels but they start at around $1400 each and go up. After searching the net for the past few days, I took a walk to the local tyre/accessories place and put his knowledge to use - He showed me a pic of a CSA "Vanquish" in hyper silver with a metal lip which is the look I'm after, there was one set left in Adelaide @ $260 each which includes swapping them over and fitting my tyres next Tuesday - hopefully the link works!

It's going in to Solatint on thursday to get the glass done and then I'm off to Sydney for a couple of days to check out the Motor Show.

I want to get 20s on my Calais.. interested to see whats good value too.

I like those mesh CSAs - not a fan of metal lips though. But that's just me.

As far as good value 20s go, hard to go past Advanti wheels. They're not light but some of them look mint.

I just put some 20" Advanti Tourers on my wagon very happy with them. But they are black so you probably won't like them.:yeah:

OOO show some pics

Also. What would 20's be like with performace.. handling and road noise.

The 20's ride quite nice. They aren't harsh at all. Handling wise I'm not too sure yet I haven't been for a spirited drive yet.

I'll put some pics up in the my ride section when I get a chance to give the car a good clean.

Its funny cos the standard wheels and tyres are apparently worth $4,500. Going off Holden prices.

I have 20's on my ute, no issues what so ever.

I have 22's on my atomic sportwagon and love them.They actually ride better the the 20's i had on my ssv sedan.I have just had them custom painted to match the car but cant post pics yet.Just wondering if someone can pm me and i can email a pic so that person can display it for me.?

i have 20's on my wagon and road noise/comfort isnt an issue. It's also lowered a little as well. No dramas.
The only downside is the cost of replacing the tyres when the time comes.... prices arent very user friendly at 20" .

Nice style of wheel YootDriver. You didn't mention what size you're after?

Have you thought about Speedy Cheetah's? They're that same mesh style but nicer IMO.
