ROH rims for corvettes

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!

Watch this space.

seemed to have missed the thread here.......if ROH chrome rims fit a monaro will they fit a vette stud pattern, my mate got his from a tyre place in waratah street sutherland????thery look sensational, five spoke I think?

chev stud pattern 5 on 120mm
holden commondore stud pattern
5 on 120.65
will stress the studs and prob snap them in time
also ofsets will vary between a vette and a commondore

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?

btw
when i bought my wheels direct from ROH the cost was similar to buying wheels for a commonwhore .......not overly expensive ,i just had to pick them up from silverwater (sydney) and pay cash ;35

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

Nothing in a 17" at all?

Ausrs · April 22, 2003, 09:11:29 PM

Brutus · April 22, 2003, 11:19:16 PM

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