    Holden Holden Advice Holden Calais Holden Calais Advice Holden Calais 2009
    I WANT to fit 19 or 20-inch alloys from the Holden accessories brochure to the new Holden Calais V Sportwagon I am ordering with LSD and FE2 suspension. If I do this the dealer wants me to sign a waiver because he says the wheels do not comply with the ADR. I find it difficult to believe when the SS Sportwagon comes standard with 19-inch alloys and FE2 suspension, and the HSV R8 Tourer with 19-inch and is optioned with 20-inch.

    WE CONTACTED Holden for clarification and received the following corporate response: ``Wheels and tyres are engineered and carefully selected for release. This is done in accordance with all ADRs and takes into consideration many criteria including tyre and axle loading for each particular model. Though similar, each model within a range is not identical. Accessory wheels are only tested for specific models and therefore any deviation from this is considered a modification and not endorsed by Holden. It should be noted that there is an HSVi 19-inch Supersport wheel that has been validated and is released as an accessory wheel for the Calais V-Series Sportwagon. For further detail, please contact your Holden dealer.'' Before you sign a waiver seek the advice of a solicitor on their validity under the law.
