After getting two flat tyers, two days in a row, I discovered that my wheel had become porus. Can anyone suggest where I can find a set of wheels for my doon? Also, when sourcing second hand wheels, what model car do I search for?? Have been told that I will only be able to get off another VP and they are quite rare!
Cheers :-)

VP non-IRS can take any VB-VS wheel, as well as a lot of VT-VZ.
VP with IRS is an orphan, and the rear will only accept VP/VQ IRS wheels.

You can fit VR/VS trailing arms & hubs into the rear (replacing the VP items) that will then allow you to run any
Cheers,

Mick

When I was an apprentice in a Holden dealer we had the same problem with an Irmshcer <SP?> on a group 3. The fix..pull the tyre off and paint the part of the rim which the tyre hides. No more leak.
