Actually, Phil is runnning the CP5200 but they are the same mount as the CP5570.

I have adapter mounts for the calipers that will suit Commodore mounting (hence the reason I had the drop spindles drilled to suit Commodore calipers) so it should bolt up OK. I might have clearance issues with the control arms however. I'll have to bolt it up when I get a chance and see.

5570 is the 6 pot
Much bigger unit
I'd say clearance might be an issue ..... you won't know till you bolt them on.

Hey Phil,

If you get a chance I'd still like to get a set of the brackets that you had made up for your calipers. At least it will give me a good starting point.

I'm not sure but do you think A9X steerings arms would help with clearance issues?

Cheers.

Retro = retrospective = old ....... that means no big open spoke wheels
Modern look would be big wheels but retro would be some nice wide 15's

I'm not a big fan of the modern look
But I will be going to 17's on my car but in a retro design........... like GTS wheels

^ most excellent choice.
if these wheels dont look good on an old holden then you need a seeing eye dog.

Those are what I'll probably be getting for my lc next year,I'll know better when I see the company that makes them at Summernats & ask them a few questions.I think they look awsome.

hey dattoman... How much did they set you back? i reckon they will look so F*cking hot on a Torana! I cant wait to have the money to buy myself a set!

[dattoman]

Hahaha...... you guys crack me up
Like I have the money to buy them

When the car is finally nearly ready ...... or started
Then I will buy me some

Prices though........ well they go something like this

All wheels are custom built to what you need in the way of offsets bolt patterns and centre bore,constructed with forged alloy outer rim with T6 alloy centres. Prices start at $450 per wheel for a 15 x 6 up to $650 per wheel for a 18x9.5� Note �OLDSKOOL MUSCLE� is only avail in 17� and 18�, priced at $525 for a 17 x 7 and 17 x 8 , $565 for a 17 x 9.5, $595 for a 18 x 8 and $650 for a 18 x 9.5. We can section our outer rims to achieve custom widths at an extra cost. Note .due to copy right we do not supply the holden sticker for the �OLDSKOOL MUSCLE� wheel, however it is available from Rare Spares. We are Melbourne based and we distribute Australia wide.

a guy here on the coast has these on a LJ and i must say, doesnt tickle my fancy all that much, just looked weird, i cant describe why but i think its the large chrome outer edge. again though each to their own. i think id rather a nice set of billet wheels in a nice old school yank style.

[dattoman]

Times not really the thing atm
The parts are
I have moved around abit in the industry and don't have access to any CP5200's to play with

Last time I spoke to Howard at Race Brakes in Melbourne he said he had just finished a 330mm kit for a Torana ... so he might have the plans to do them off the shelf
Not sure what stubs was used though

[A9X]

what do those wheel s weigh Jeff?

[A9X]

ok, thanks

[A9X]

No 18 is fine, i've liked the look of them since you first posted.

I thought they were one piece, which would have had me more excited, but just for my orange hatch.

i have lightweight 3 piece already.

[A9X]

Are the Enkei's one piece?
