Wheel rims for roadworthy

[vc commodore]

Providing the rim width and tyre sizes match all round, I can't see an issue

What would you do if the car was to pass, go back to using the unroadworthy tyres.

No, not at all, I just couldn’t get new tyres on before the rwc inspection and then would have had to postpone it for two weeks because of the mechanic’s availability.
I ended up borrowing all four wheels from my son’s car and have switched those for mine until I can do them.

I managed to get a clear answer to the mixed rim question through a lengthy conversation with a guy at Vic Roads. Thought I’d update in case it helps someone else in the future.
It is perfectly legal and roadworthy to have two alloy and two steel rims on your car, provided they:

• Are wheels of an approved type, meaning they are equivalent in quality, safety and performance as the stock ones or are recommended by the manufacturer; OR
• Are original equipment supplied by the manufacturer for this or an equivalent vehicle, including the same model vehicle but with a different “luxury level” eg: Berlina/Calais/Exec etc; AND
• The width and radius are within the specifications on the vehicle’s tyre placard;
• Are fitted with tyres that are within the specifications on the vehicle’s tyre placard; AND
• The same wheel type is on the same axle eg: stocks front/mags rear or vice versa.

Regulations referenced: VSI 26, VSI 8 - VicRoads, VSB 14 - Federal Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development.

Basically reinforces that you get your inspection done earlier than later to give yourself time to fix any unsuspected problems and the bonus is no problems and a relaxed approach to rego time .

Plus the tyres off my other car are better all round

Swap all 4 wheels.

At least try to start early.
I'm in a similar position geographically as the OP.
Started the process early but everything takes soooooo long to happen in the hills I just got it done in time.

Ahh, but like I said, one is flat. Good thing I gave my son a VT a year ago with a nice set of wheels which he kindly loaned me.
