No, just the standard equipment GenF2 Clubsport/Maloo wheels.

How about these HSV wheels on a black Calais for a premature reproductive disfunction?

If you're using 15" wheels for drag racing traction, leave the sway bar disconnected. Sway bars increase spring rate on one rear wheel and unloads the opposite tyre from the road surface. Traction wise, rear sway bars make the car behave like an open diff vs a locked diff as a simple explanation.

I've fitted a couple of Calais and HSV head units with CD players into cars that don't have the Bose system and amp, and the speakers, fader controls etc work as normal. I only changed the VIN to unlock them from the donor vehicles and retained the OEM Calais or HSV software.

I had the Simmons wheels, springs and shocks and a set of RDA rotors we got for free to test waiting in the shed whilst my Redline ute was in transit from QLD. It rolled up on a tilt tray and that day, and I drove it whilst stock to the rego inspection place on a permit about 14km's from us...

The BMW Signature Forged wheels (proper one's) I bought in from the USA 2019 were around $6800 AUD landed. They'd go well over 10k looking at today's prices for the same wheels. These are ultra-light weight machined from a forged billet.

Ironically the brand of wheels on my Redline ute are "Forgestar" likely giving the impression that all of their wheels are forged. Although the company does a custom forged wheel, the shelf wheels I purchased are called "flow forged" which is a cast centre and spun rim. I must say for a...

I agree! I like the Senator bumper with the one-piece grill I think would work well on a Redline without over-emphasising the fitment of odd HSV parts.

Fortunately, we don't have much necessity to use tight car parks and avoiding places vulnerable to car park dents probably helps minimise the potential for wheel damage. If you're exposed to tight parking on a daily basis, the risk of wheel damage increases.

When my wife kerbed a wheel on my week-old VR GTS in 1995 with great composure to avoid losing my cool, I told her she needs to be more careful, and I'll have to buy a new wheel, she apologised and said ok. I got my wife to pick the new wheel up and write the cheque to pay for it, a stupid...

A proper forged wheel is machined from a billet that has been compacted with extreme force to a particular standard, the reason a good set aftermarket forged wheels today are round 8k. There's few claims of forged wheels that I'm a bit skeptical are the real deal.

"Gutter rash" a term that implies poor judgement and carelessness better described as crap driving is normal!

The Clubsport with the spoiler option to me, is a better looking car than the GTS. I don't the like yellow brake calipers or the black exhaust tips on the GTS along with the chrome window trim and rear spoiler.

Some may disagree, but I think the silver wheels on my old R8 makes the car look better than my mate's GTS with black wheels on red!

I don' think the GTS spoiler covers the holes, it's the Hyperflo R8 that does like this one.
