any one heard of this.my vxr has had three wheels damaged the garage went to a vauxhall dealer to supply the new ones.three arrived one in silver,the same as the ones on my car,two in a sort of metalic blue.also the one in silver was also poor quality paint finish.
spoke to the vauxhall parts dealer who said all the monaro wheels are outside manufactured by a company in aus, sadly in various shades and colours so they cannot guarantee to supply four the same shade as they all have the same part no but would have to open all the boxes to try to match up four so god help anyone outhere who needs a front wheel.

Hi Dave,

Sorry, I personnally have not heard about that problem. The colour issue sounds really weird though, blue wheels sounds really weird - you would think Holden buy in the wheel (made for them I guess) but very odd they would be a strange colour.

On a side note, welcome from a Rochdale Monaro VZ CV8 driver. Hope you love the car.

Cheers
Steven

Sounds like bollox to me.

A major manufacturer can't produce consistent coloured wheels?

May as well say that if you ask for a red car you might get a couple of blue panels 'cos "hey, an outside company did it, not us"

Utter tripe.
