    WTB 15" GTS rims unrestored (as their cheaper)

    As it says i'm after a pair of 15" gts/Pontiac rims.
    7's or 8's doesn't phase me as i'm running 14 x 6 on the front.
    Thanks in advance

    Went down this path a while back but didn't go thru with it. Was close to buying new from Summit Racing http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WVI-60-573404/All/ free freight to USAtoAUS depot in US and shipping to Aust via USAtoAUS.com $100 Aus for 4 wheels. When the Aussie $ was up around 93c US it was around $670.00 all up which looked like reasonable buying... assuming all went to plan...

    15x7's, 14x6's

    Are 14x6's factory for Sandman's or are they 15x7's? I'd like to know what is correct, suitable or appropriate.

    Thanks.

    14 X 6 are standard factory GTS rims for HQ - HZ. Even the A9X Torana had 14X6 but the off set was different and the outer ring was the same as HK-HG GTS from memory.

    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.

    GTS hubcaps

    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......
