VS S pack wheels

[VS 5.0]

Someone wanting original VR SS rims for a resto might some value in them.

Yeah but aren't these factory SS rims, the ones above are not I don't think.

Nope.....they're VR cubbie style rims.

VR SS & VS Spac shared the same rims.....like VS SS rims became VT S pac rims.

Hmmm the factory ones are not attractive, the HSV ones look way better, even if they are a copy. And here I thought I had SS copies.

Can't see your pic VS 5.0 but here is one I found.

and they're still ugly even in official GMH photos. Honestly the first wheel that they produced as a factory wheel that was attractive was the VS SS rim. To me all the VN platform onward wheels were ugly until the VS SS wheel.

BTW the VS SS rim was different to the VT S Pack wheel in the way of 7 inch wide SS opposed to 6.5 wide on the VT. It altered the look on the front face somewhat. Most folks are unaware that this was the case, I'm still gobsmacked that they even did this.

I am one of "most folks".

Got a pic of the VS SS rims? I can't find one as I don't know what they look like.

I actually like them. Originality for the era makes a car look good. If freight wasn't prohibitive to NSW, i'd have no hesitation in giving $100 for 'em...

How far from Mildura are you?
