    just so we can all learn from this... did you buy the car/view the car with black 20's and now they have bolted 18's up to it, ripe and ready for delivery?

    We got a full size alloy with the VF SII Calais V.
    On the other hand a full size wheel doesn't fit in the spare wheel well of the Monaro.

    Interested to hear what the story is with the wheels on your Van Cameron.

    No Vombil the alloy spare doesnt come with the ute because the spare tyre bell will not go thru the centre on the alloy wheel only the spacesaver fits thru because of a bigger centre hole

    Only the Reline and SSV ute get the spray can but on the Holden brochure the SS gets a spare alloy wheel
    and i made sure i got mine

    Hi,

    I haven't actually seen the car in real life yet, was purchased in Sydney as a dealer swap with my local, who then shipped it to Melbourne for the canopy.

    I did not order the 20" Beretta wheels and was not expecting them, but now that I know that they were on the car I am intrigued as to why they were taken off.
    To be honest, I think I am better off with more rubber on the 18"s and will probably leave them on, from memory it was only $1000 extra to have the 20" Beretta wheels.

    My guess is that the car was delivered to my local dealer with the 20" who then took them off as I had opted for the 18".

    Still available on a 2016 build on the Holden website.

    Thanks, I felt that way too, lots of 1 lane back highways and bad potholes around, extra rubber should mean a bit more forgiveness.

    I do 2,000ks for work every 3 weeks, almost all highway, I want to add more road trips to that, want see how many national parks etc. you can get to easily in a 2wd.
