    VE HSV wheel is $100 cheaper, only avail in black, and has different texture and stitching pattern to the GXP wheels.
    See the pics in Post #1 above.

    OK I think I then asked the wrong question. I'm looked for a red hot wheel so what's the difference between the GXP one and the holden equivalent (looks like the SS?)

    The texture is just a little different. I bought the VE Super Sports wheel from Paul and after comparing it to a red/onyx GXP at a meet, that was the only difference we could notice.

    Here's a GXP wheel, and the black leather at 3 and 9 is perforated:



    Compared to the Holden Super Sports wheel that is dimpled:



    For what it's worth, the GXP owner said he almost preferred the feel of my wheel.
