WTB 15" GTS rims unrestored (as their cheaper)

HZ tyre placard nominated rim size 6.00JJ, tyre size Designation ER70H14 which agrees with Absinth....

Thank you oh wise ones, I am relieved because I just bought 5 x rims all 14's for $150!!

I just need 2 x wheel trims and 4x caps, which I am happy with repro ones if I cannot find originals before they are needed.

We need two hubcaps, we got 4 with the Red van, but the yellow van only had the
GTS rims but the caps were missing...we got two with 2 more rims we bought from a young bloke $50 each, who works with R's brother at the Ford dealership, where we have been getting all the mechanical work done.....and I am bidding on one on ebay for $15 only after one more....

The manager of the Holden museum Euchuca, takes them all off the cars at the museum and puts them away, he told me they were one of the most stolen things in the museum...sadly even people who go to car museums are thieves.....:( we have trims for one Van, but they are rusted and we plan to get them all re chromed along with the bumpers......

Why not put the anti-theft plates behind the lugs (Also on Ebay)

As stated above 14 x 6 are standard but 15 x 7 do look good - fill out the guards and give you more tyre options. That said both 14" and 15" tyres are getting harder to get these days - esp. if you are after something a bit wider than standard - Bridgestone/Firestone options have been cut right back since moving all manufacturing offshore.

I've got a brand called "Mastercraft" on my HZ.
They are available thru Tyrepower stores (or Wheel Vintiques).

Because my HJ ISN'T going to be 100% original, i have purchased some Cragar mags to paint up like GTS rims.
I've got (2) 14 x 7 and (2) 15 x 8 that will be blasted and painted accordingly.To most people they will look the real deal and i can keep my Originals in storage.
