Hey Paul, quick question for you. Someone mentioned of a company making knockoffs of the Gts wheels. Any that you know of?
Also, any aftermarket companies making body parts over there? I'm aware of the Walkinshaw hoods, but anything else?
Thanks.
Aftermarket Holden parts?

Not to speak for paul but there's some knock off bumpers etc (same with wheels) you can find on ebay.com.au . Not sure about fitment issues,quality etc though.

Hoods? Did you say there are hoods out there?
Yes, they are designed to go with the Gts front end. A bit on the radical side as well. Do a search for Walkinshaw hoods. I might end up with the red one they show when I do the front end conversion.Originally Posted by wreckwriter

With the wheels....if the seller says "STYLE" in the ad, like "GTS STYLE", then that is code for Non-Genuine.

Crazy Paul
Any feedback on the quality of these wheels Paul? I'm going to email them to see if they would ship to the US. Would you have any interest in picking a set up and shipping them to me, of course getting some compensation.
Thanks.
No I haven't heard anything yet.
Those are not the exact ones you want....just a close example.
Yours would need to be the VE edition which has different drillings.
Find out that guys location.
I could certainly help out if need be.

These are 18's but he says that he has 19 and 20s as well. It doesn't show the application but says 5x120 and 45mm offset. His location is showing Melbourne, Victoria.
It looks like a really good price and I'd prefer the 19's over the 20's.
Yes.....but what some of these mobs are doing is making a VE rim and drilling the hub bore and lugnut bores to suit older cars (VX,VY,VZ).
You need a VE style rim with VE hub bore and VE lugnut bores/tapers.
They look to be about 1/2 price of the genuine VE HSV Clubsport R8 rims to buy......but all shipping costs will be the same. So in Total you're probably looking at US$1000 for knockoffs or US$1600 for genuine to your door by sea.
Also the genuine are 2x(19 X 8) & 2x(19 X 9.5) {stagerred}
His are probably 4x (19x8)
