Holden have placed it to make what was once a two minute job, a two hour fix. It's good for the dealership's bottom line. .

Having seen your cars, I take that as a real compliment. .

I ordered the KWC's for my E Series Clubsport and they arrived in February 2008 on the same day I picked up the red Ute from the dealer. So, I used the new Ute to take the rims to the tyre shop and while I was sitting watching the tyres be fitted, I started wondering what they would look like...

I have couple of sets of forged rims, a two piece KWC set and a three piece HRE set. Both have mirror finished polished outers and powered coated centres. The two piece cost me $6,800 and the three piece $11,000 from California to my door. Tyres are extra. There is a huge difference between...

Wow that's cheap .

I'm not a fan of black rims either as I don't believe black suits many colours, but surface rust on doors, I can't get enough of that. .

The casting marks (or I should say, the engraved marks) on the staggered set of HF-20 that came with my 2016 VF2 Redline Ute. I was told they are not forged and only the Series 1 VF Redline came with forged rims. .

I bought up a heap of parts early on and at that time I did my due diligence by checking the prices at my local dealership against those on eBay, and I found in most cases (not all), that the genuine parts were cheaper from the dealer than the eBay resellers. I would go into the dealership with...

No holes in the VF2 Ute tailgate. .

The VF Ute has such a wonderful audio sound I could never bring myself to fiddle with it. .

There is no mention in the ad that these are genuine Holden rims which would be the first thing you would be saying if you were selling them, so first off, they are aftermarket copies. That is equally supported by the posts from Redline457 and Imoengnr pointing out the original rear rims are 20...

Thinking outside the square, ramsets. Actually, I might be thinking outside my head. .

Agreed. I had the front and rear bars resprayed on my Nitrate Silver Clubsport (at HSV's expense) and the painter matched them even though Holden was telling us it wasn't possible for the reason you've outlined. I think that front lip is a crap effort and wouldn't want it fitted to my car...

I'll just start driving my old Kingswood, and they can plug into its OBD as much as they like. .

So true, I'd been riding almost since I could walk and it's the reason I don't ride anymore. I no longer feel I'm immortal. .
