Brutus, did you get onto Neale wheels?

AusRs, did you manage to get onto ROH about your spare?

Are wheels spacers/adapters illegal over here?  It wouldn't be hard to get a set of adapters made up to fit a Commodore pattern (120mm bolt circle as oppsed to 120.65 for Chev).  Having adapters to suit Commodores would open up a whole range of rims at a substantially cheaper cost.   I'm sure offset wouldn't be a problem, just getting 8 or 9 inch widths.

Apparently ROH are releasing a new range in a week or 2 that will fit a chev pattern.  ;35

Apparently some hounding does pay off!

I've seen Ford stud patterned wheels drilled out to fit Holdens and visa versa that was quite successful, so surely such a minor discrepency shouldn't present too much of a concern?
Anyone with more of an insight into this?

Hey guys,
I talked to a Terry from CC tyres at Penrith yesterday. He can do 16 x 8 in rims for a vette (HQ stud pattern) for $245. 4.5 in pattern with correct offset. I crunched the numbers and a 255/50 - 16 only has a slightly smaller rolling diameter that the original C3 rubber.
He quoted me under $2000 for a complete wheel and tyre package.

BTW I checked. Spacers are a no-go in NSW

Thanks for that. It's very good to know that. Any chance of a pic of your wheels at all?
