GTS Rims - bit confused with terminology

[TwoTees]

If I was you and lived close I would go and look at them before you hand over the cash.
It looks to me like there are 2 holes elongated. (top right same pic)

What I think WBute meant was these wheels have been regarded as just trailer wheels for the last 30 or so years and are only now popular and are being pulled of trailers and res erected.

Unfortuantly i'm in melbourne, so won't see up close and personal. It appears this guy does this sort of stuff for a living so i guess, to some degree, its buyer beware.

he has been helpful though. I asked him if the stud holes were elongated and his reply was:

"stud holes are good, very good condition. the wheels sit well on hub and centre up well, i had them on my car before fully restoring them"

So yeah - its one of those things on ebay to take the benefit of the doubt

I've been watching these but they are closer to you, if you can get them for $50-$70 ea they are good buying. Sand and paint yourself and save a heap. Check his "see other item" as he has four listed.

I've been watching these ones.
Not sure if it's the third or fourth time they've been advertised at this price with no bids.

Yeah they look alright - but for those not in Vic, Mornington is right on the bay and i mean sea views from your front door on the bay. Which means, anybody buying a van or stuff down that way has to expect the sea breeze to have affected anything metal.

But these look good - but mind you, i'm one of those blokes who loves my vans, but doesnt have the know how to restore things in my backyard. Wish i did - but i kind of consider that lets say i buy these for $80 then spend $20 bucks on marterials sanding them back, then $100 bucks each to get someone to respray them, i'd be looking at $200 bucks a tyre, without centre caps before i've started. They'll be straight - but i don't think i could find a painter etc who'd do them for $100 each... so my best bet, unfortuantly for me, is to buy things already done

Its the bloody worst thing i guess. Loving old cars and not having the know how to fix em!!! : (

Were there ever any 15 inch rims made back in the day. I thought they were all 14's.
