Right, I've decided I want to upgrade from the factory 05 18" alloys to 19". Ideally I'd love a set of 05 VXR 19" alloys as I'd prefer to keep as close to Holden parts as close as poss and getting hold of a set here in the UK I'd guess would be pretty hard.

So I've been looking at the painted wheels thread and Wolfrace alloys came up. I'm not a fran of them but as I'm now trawling alloy wheel sites, I need the PCD and Off-set specs for the 05 CV8 so that I can see what's available out there.

Any figures for the above would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Doh!

I really should get used to using 'Search' on forums. Stop me from looking stupid. (it's been a long day - that's all I can say in my defence)

to be fair its a pain in the backside having to go to the pistonheads version of the forums to be able to search but it is useful to check there. Some people get really stroppy on some of the other forums I'm on if you don't religiously scan all previous posts before asking questions. Thankfully everyone on here is much more reasonable.

Are you thinking of selling your current wheels? If so, I could very well be interested.

BTW check out www.jhp.com.au and drool over the wheels. I've had some (smaller) parts from them and the shipping hasn't been too bad. It doesn't cost anything to ask, and Geoff usually responds the next day.

Just be aware wheels purchased from here in Oz may not be designed and made to withstand the tortue of weather and sh1t on the UK roads.
