Anybody got some pictures of alternative wheels they have fitted to their cars? Nothing to bling just wider and matched to the cars.

Here are a couple of wheels available through Tim at Linden Special Vehicles, you can have standard 8” rims or 9.5” rims for the rear, both are 19” wheels I think, not cheap but quality and warranted for HSV applications, lot of OEM suppliers will not do this for the HSV






BTW I am not associated with LSV

Been looking for 20s for ages - hardly anything out there (stud pattern seems to be the case). Could spend £4000/£5000 easily though...

I-Forged will make you wheels with what ever offset you want and in any stud pattern. Since nothing seems to be out there then I will go back to these people but they do charge 2.5k ish and take a few months to come through.

Wow I LIKE those! I wonder if I could get them with a charcoal or dark smoke effect...
Have you or will you be ordering these? Would there be any saving if bought bulk (2 orders together)?

Will 9.5" fit under the rear arches?

I don't know if the Maloo has the same suspension set up as VZ SS utes but a friend and myself went for wheel upgrades at the same time, he went for the 19 x 9.5 rear and I went to 18 x 9.5.
I can tell you the 19's with 30 profiles gave a very harsh ride,break away was less predictable and the axle tramp was rampant.
Just my 2p worth
