The nuts look pretty centred in the holes, it must have the right stud pattern. If it was running hub adapters then the wheel would be sticking out of the guard more I reckon.
Pretty weird.
Why though? Snowflakes are pretty pimp but aren't that nice of a wheel to go to that trouble. Looks like a standard car otherwise.

Maybe the dude was a machineist of some sort with a couple of snow flakes lying around :\
Was the rear done as well?
Could of originally had some better ford wheels which weren't available on a commo?

Interesting..
VR Berlina wheels are very similar to snowflakes, which makes you wonder why even bother?
Must be an S-Pack fan.

This is my thought also. My old Tafe teacher when I was doing mechanics had a an old rod he was building with Holden brakes and the disc face had the ford stud pattern drilled through and ran ford wheels.

but why go to that effort for a stock vs?
unless.. are the discs interchangeable between the two? maybe old mate got a free set of new discs and figured this was the best way to make use of them?

or this, and could of just been clearing defect.
my suspicion the top answer.
you drill the 5 wheel nut slots a few extra mm, die grind the back, running 19m head being a Holden,
but **** 114.3 to 120, that's noticeable movement

What are VS front rotors like? Could it just be an Eseries front rotor, hence the stud pattern?

the vs rotors are slip on like au, unless the hubs are somehow interchangable??

If the commodore hubs are interchangeable with e series. Then I am so getting a vt brake setup and re drilling it to ford

297mm disc brakes and twin piston calipers means decent brakes and I can still fit 15's

Woulda been worth waiting around for the guy to come back, and then ask him what the dealio is. We'll just never know now, will we
