    I've found someone local who's selling some proper 16" Style 48's


    Only asking AUD $450 with tires which sounds pretty reasonable to me. Now to find me a buyer for some 18" rims. I'm sure some young man with a VL commodore will take them off my hands

    Far better choice me thinks. Didn't wish to offend in case you liked the others but they look like crap, replica or not.

    No offense taken. They came with the car (only got it 2 weeks ago).
    They look a bit overdone, and the tiny little rubber bands they call tires are low quality.

    Based on the info earlier in the thread I found someone local selling these wheels new in the TradingPost for the princely sum of $200 per wheel. Looks like the last owner went out and spent about AUD$1300 on the whole setup including tires. Now if only he'd spent that on new front struts, strut mounts, and assorted bushings and left the wheels alone.
