The Exa's are an alloy rim. There's a Wagon down here in Cranbourne with them on and it looks OK.
Sam's Gem has modified Commodore Interceptors and the caps are off a VR or VS Acclaim. |

Yeah, im not a big fan of them, dunno how they would look on a gemi.
I am thinking of getting some interceptors, how much would it cost to get them redrilled to suit a gemi?? |

Try Ajax Rims or Eastern Wheel Works.
Ajax I think are in Moorabbin.
Eastern used to be in Bayswater but I think have moved up to Kinglake.

ONLYA4 - they are the rims on that white exa. (Thanks Racegem)
They have tyres i dont know how good they are.
Also Ajax wheels charge $100 per interceptor rim( For 15Inch) plus you have to supply 4 14 inch interceptors.
If you want 14 inch interceptors they range any where from $50 a set to $200 a set.
The $200 set are of the BMW's that why you pay so much but they are the best fit for a gemini. also the holes are also they best. The other Interceptors are more of any oval shape.
Let me know if you want the exa's cos i was gonna post them on here, but if you wanna take a look i wont put them on here.
Cheers

Sam (Menace), love the look of your car. Simple modifications, Detailed to the max, Very Cool. Do you still have it? Would like to see it in the flesh some day.
Sam (ONLYA4), you provide a 14" rim with a 4 x 100 PCD and a centre bore as close to 57mm as possible (but obviously not smaller), and they separate the centre from the outer rim. Then they weld the old centre into a new outer 15" rim that has a deeper centre well to match the 14". You can tell them the offset you want too, within reason. Eastern Wheel Works quoted about $90 about 2 years ago. I'll see if I can find their new name and number. There was a recent article on them in 4WD Monthly.
Yonnee. |
