The Evolution from E1 to E3
Following the E1 GTS, the E3 introduced a more refined and performance-focused approach to the HSV lineup.
With improvements in suspension, braking, and overall handling, the E3 GTS represented a more mature and capable performance vehicle.
The wheel design evolved alongside the platform, offering a more aggressive and modern appearance.

The Wheel Design
The E3 GTS wheels feature a refined yet aggressive design suited to the VE platform.
- Modern multi-spoke layout
- Designed to complement wider body proportions
- Built for performance and visual balance
This design continues the trend of larger wheels and stronger visual presence introduced in the E Series.
Refining the Formula – The E3 Evolution
By the time the E3 GTS arrived, HSV had several years of experience developing vehicles on the VE platform, refining every aspect of performance, handling, and design.
The E3 represented the culmination of that learning, introducing advanced technologies such as Magnetic Ride Control, a major step forward in Australian performance engineering.
Subtle but Significant Design Updates
The E3 wheel design built on the foundation established by the E1, introducing a more refined and modern appearance.
- Sharper spoke edges for a more aggressive look
- More defined surface transitions
- Improved overall visual balance and proportion
These changes were evolutionary rather than radical, but significantly enhanced the wheel’s presence and sophistication.
Staggered Fitment & Visual Impact
The E3 retained a staggered setup, with wider rear wheels delivering a more aggressive rear stance.
This configuration:
- Improves visual balance
- Enhances grip and performance feel
- Creates a more planted and performance-oriented look
The design works particularly well with darker finishes, where sharp edges create strong highlights and depth.
Precision Forged by Panthera
Panthera’s interpretation of the E3 GTS wheel is manufactured using Precision Forging, starting from solid aluminium billets and finished with CNC machining.
This process allows:
- Sharper edges and cleaner lines
- Improved strength and durability
- Consistent high-quality finishes
The result is a modern wheel that captures the refined aggression of the original E3 while improving performance and build quality.
