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).

It's my 'spare will swap for ROH' rim.

What I would like to know, is the A and D on the 1974 rims - any idea?
Ozbox needs to complete his GTS rims guide on the forums!

Got my hands on some rims the other day.

2 x MADE IN USA

And 2 x Holden

Any history about the USA made ones? Are these Pontiac rims? Given that they are not specifically 'Holden' rims, are there any specifications I should be worried about? Should I ever bother with them?

Eventually will get them blasted, primed and painted. So was the concensus to paint them silver, mask and then do the charcoal? Is there a tougher primer that should be applied to wheels?

Sorry for the probably obvious questions! :knockout:
