Wheels

[RevNev]

Bloke who sold them to me said they were VE 18s. I found out later after checking the part number they were off a VZ.

They're a bit like the 19" VE SS wheels without the black centre cap and more dish. I think the VZ wheels had a bit more offset than VE/VF and larger centre bore of course. Looks good on your VE Ute.

What about with a hub ring?

Won’t that stuff your offset?
Also wouldn’t be cheaper than an Omega or Evoke set by the time you buy ‘em plus the wheels?

Hub Centric Rings, not spacers.. Agree cheaper to by a VE steelie.

Nothing better than a set of black steelies with no hubcaps!

Even better on a VN or VS mang mobile.

Are you sure you're not overloaded?

I do have a bit of weight

Wearing them out evenly or camber induced wear, chewing out the insides prematurely?

They do wear down fast, but the wear is even and I do rotate them

Try some RE003s. I was told they last longer than some others.

Note for original poster: either Losh is being facetious or there is another tyre other than the Bridgestone with the RE003 designation.

I have a set of RE003's on the Magnum, they've outlasted the OEM 050's and a couple of pairs of Falkens.
Would definitely buy them again when the current ones finally give up.
