GTS Rims - bit confused with terminology

[SandmanMuscle]

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

Heaps. They were on Pontiacs.

I see, I know you can buy brand new repro's from the states that are identical to the old school GTS rims. They are about US$130 per rim.

Brand new, without the wear and tear of age. Plus you can buy the dress rims and caps from rares or elsewhere.

I buy quite a bit of stuff from the US, if you know where to look and which make and model US car to use you can get a lot of parts for your Aussie muscle car......

Only problem with larger items like rims is the postage cost will be about the same cost as the rim....

Dug out my GTS rims and took some shots of the date and code stamps for you.

Blocker, the Canadian rims are slightly different offset to the ROH made rims and also are not suitable for later HQ onwards as they are only a 6JK rim (safety bead on one side only).
