Wheels for my Celsior Sun, 12 June 2005 14:13 Go to next message
Wheel I need to get my Celsior on the road, but the wheels it has on it are not really what I want, besides the fact the tyres to fit them are insanely expensive.


Just wondering if anyone knows if some standard Falcon rims will fit on it till I can find the wheels I want? This would save me buying new tyres for the giant ass wheels that are on it now as I can get some AU Falcon 16 inch wheels and tyres for $150.


I hate askin dumb questions but I have been googling for over an hour tryin to find the answer. Also if anyone can tell me what the wheels I have on my Celsior are worth that would be nice to know too. They have WIN Racing on the centre caps but i cant find them ont he net, closest I can find were some Volk Racing wheels that looked just like em, f-zeros or something.

The stud pattern will be the same, not sure about the off set. But I doubt there would be too much difference?

Will need to be AU onwards, I'm not sure when Falcon switched to 16's. Could have been AU I or AU II.

But just get some wheels from here

Illegal in most if not all states, wheel shops won't touch your car if they're fitted & in the event of an accident it would also void any insurance payouts if they're found. But...

Some people have used them, me included Embarassed Had a problem with my rear tyres fouling against the suspension struts which a set of 3mm spacers fixed. Looking at the car you couldn't even tell they were fitted unless you took off the wheel.

yeah, figured as much. These wheels are only temporary until I can afford new wheels, $2500 to get my wisdom teeth out kinda cut into my wheel budget Sad.

Well the rear ones fit perfectly, anyone know where i can get some wheels that will clear the calipers on the front?
