    Holden did colour code GTS rims in the HZ models. God awful 99% of the time. Never factory with chrome outer rims and no they should not have come off a GTR-XU1 unless it has had a stud change.
    It was a common thing in the 80's and 90's to have the centres cut out painted and welded into wider chrome outers which these appear to be. The cost of re-chroming the rims would be more expensive then buying new ones (as it has always been). Blast this set and paint the whole wheel.

    LC GTR-XU1 rims were pressed steel with caps and dress rims from memory and LJ were alloy (Sprintmasters?). Did I get that right? Either way were very different to N66 Ralleye rims.

    Sounds good to me Dave. Globe Sprintmaters were a '72 thing and the original wheels have a date stamp cast inside a circle on the rear.
