Love this thread, don't know how I've missed it.

That's what I was thinking, but thought it would be tedious. Was going to do it with a small brush or q tip. Ron's still look pretty good. If they do end up looking cruddy I can always do it on the car I suppose

Excellent mate thank you. Have you had any issue with surface rust in the slots/cross drills?

Any chance of a pic of the fronts fitted Ron?

Will that test work just for fronts? Any idea how to test rear wheel bearings

What about a buckled rim? Would that have been picked up when tyres were balanced?

Yep. I intend on taking it for a test thrash over the next few days.. I don't want to fork out cash for part that don't need replacing if they don't need it.

I'm not even sure what it is let alone front or rear hubs. I'm just trying to eliminate as I go.. it's definitely wheels or suspension. I can coast down a hill at 65 with the car in neutral and the sound is still there. Accelerating or braking doesnt affect it either. Really obvious between 60...

Bursons front hubs are around 20 bucks cheaper than genuine

That sounds great to me. I'll give them a call and check price.

I've got a drumming/hum at 60 to 80kmph. It's not balance or alignment. Disappears at 100+ Car has 330k on it so they may be a bit worn. Not enough to feel movement when jacking up and checking bearings but I'm thinking early stages of failure. Happy to hear opinions.

I'm in market for some new front wheel bearings. I don't want to get genuine due to cost so does anyone have any recommendation for a decent aftermarket brand I should look for or are they all similar SE asian quality.

Thanks for your reply. I'm getting all the mounts looked at this morning. I hope it isn't them because finding genuine is probably going to be a mission. Obviously you have been through it and I appreciate your advice, but would it be likely the noise would change or stop when I put the car in...

So still haven't found the cause. I have rotated the front wheels to the back and ir didn't make any difference. I also noticed it happens if I am rolling down a hill at 60 to 70 with no accelerator and even if I put the auto in neutral I can still feel/hear it. Noise is still there during...

Still don't think an engine mount would be felt through the steering wheel

It's not diff a rear wheel bearing issue coming thru the steering wheel?

Would an engine mount issue feed thru to the steering wheel?

V6 and I wouldn't expect it to feedback thru the steering wheel, or does it?

I've had wheel bearings that have passed the wobble test and have still been shite. It just seems odd that its not present thru all the speed ranges which is why I thought balance more than bearing. But pretty big coincidence its happening with new tyres and alignment done by a different mob...

Hi everyone, I've got a 2000 VX Commodore with 330K. Still on original factory front wheel hubs. Had a drumming sound which I thought was due to bad wheel alignment/balance. Just got new tyres and balance and another alignment and it is still there. Am I right to think front hubs? or possibly...

Yep should be able to have a look tomorrow. Unless someone has one laying around a garage or workshop.....

Ok So who wants to buy 5 "900" VF17 calais rims. Car has done 18k. Like new NO gutter rash. A few scrapes inside the wheel where the numbnuts at bridgestone pulled off the balancing weights. Can't be seen once fitted to the car.

I'd say all the rims would have 138. Once they are painted up, they would get their proper holden part number which would be stickered to the wheel and that's the number that would be referenced in the parts list.

So Nev these would be "196"

According to Nev, that's a casting number. See his post a bit earlier on. I learnt that today as well. I would have took it for the part number too. That would also explain why the dealer couldn't find it.

And the award goes to..... Ahhhhhhhh. That makes so much sense.

This is in the boot of my 2017 Calais

right! thats exactly what I want. Now is anyone able to confirm a part number. Looked at mine this arvo came up as 92507900. Still has the sticker on the spare So the numbers I have are 92507900 92285196 92274140 92274138 So I have a July 17 Calais V so I know they suit the 900's Prob caprice...

Yeah that's what I've got. The 17 calais wheels. But too light for me. I want either the 16 Calais or 17 SS.

Well I'm after the darker colour. I'll be selling mine once I source some if your interested. Car has only done 18k. I'm going to look at my spare today and see what I actually have

So those photos are your car with the light rims? Interesting as they are the ones that are meant to be on my 17 calais and are much lighter

Prob a stuff up from the dealer. Not like that has ever happened.........

92507900 is the part number I had for the light coloured version. Maybe there is 4 variants. I've got the light version on my 17 calais V and want the wheels with darker inserts so it's closer in colour to the car which is phantom

Anyone got some pics of the SS variant of this wheel. Some close ups maybe.

Was wondering the same thing. From my research there are 3 variants to these rims. The only difference between them being the paint colour and paint finish inside the spokes. All have a clear coated machined face

Ah. That wasn't even the post I was thinking of. Never seen that so it appears the answer is yes. They must have the 48 offset like the redline wheels.

Yes I saw those as well. A member that hasn't been around for a few years but was only a picture of the front so don't know if he did the rears as well

Yes I thought this as well. I haven't seen any pictures with VFs other than Calais and Caprice with these wheels. And SS non redlline. None had factory fitted brembos

I hope very much that is the case. Love to hear from someone that could actually show me a picture of them in place
