I need some ideas for rims, I'd like a picture of the rims and maybe even the name if possible, thanks.
The car's light blue.
No worries, mate.

For me, can't go past a set of nicely repainted Rally Wheels.
The 15 x 7's look great and look stock until you read the sidewall of the tyre.

Regardless of what wheel you choose, I'd go for 15 inch or bigger.
Much broader range of tyres are available.
Attn camry drivers. The accelerator is the skinny pedal on the right.

Or the good old trident/magnum/cheviot 5-slot (or jelly beans). Always look good on a holden (to my way of thinking).

Have a look in members ride of what I have posted.

I have light blue HQ ute with my chrome rims. They are 18X8's.

I forget the brand name, but if your interested I will find out the name of them.

I am going to get rid of them soon when I find a set of GTS rims.

GTS rims are good, dragway splatts, ROH hustlers, ROH wildfires -look brilliant when polished .

Superlites look great as well,it is a toss up if I will be putting them on my coupe or going back to the 15 inch rally rims I have.

Regards Tony.

Im old school,I have simmons v5 on my coupe 16 x 8,16 x 8.5. colour coded to the car,the deep dish chrome looks good with still fat walls of the tyre,when you go 17's you lose the side wall of the tyre.simmons are shut up shop now so I think you have to get second hand

the trouble with wheels is that if you want something different you wont know if it looks good until you fork out big heaps of dollars.

I went with convos lol.

wheel vintiques have a nice gts lookalike rim (im ignorant but was the original gts rim a yank chev knockoff???) in as many sizes as you can imagine, im seriously thinking about a set for street use to make the car look a little more standard, the pricktorian car haters might not pick on it as much (though a year in the shed from being broken has really cut down on defects lol)

HQ GTS rims were straight from Canada off Pontiacs. Changed to ROH build mid HQ.

Got ourselves a set of 15" Pontiac ralley II put 7" on front and 8" on back, got them direct from states. They also come in full chrome which look great, only drama is the Pontiac inserts are not black.

If still interested they were made by Wheels Vintage, but think they are distributed through Year one, Summit Performance and Classic Industries.
We got them standard and had to repaint, however found out latter they can be ordered unpainted
