    Take the tyres off (clean them) and you will find dates, manufacturers mark etc.

    Look for:
    NO numbers stamped near the valve hole
    Welds on rear of the wheel joining the 2 parts of rim together
    HOLDEN + date stamped inside the well of rim...

    early gts wheels, (pre Sandman) will be stamped near valve hole, joined together with spot welds & have made in usa, or Canada stamped in the well of the wheel.

    This is my observations & someone more knowledgeable may have differing or more info

    Cheers

    The price of these wheels is ridiculous now. They were just trailer wheels or used to hang a garden hose on once!
    I have four here that I paid $50 each for about ten years ago.
    Think I might just sell all my Sandman bits.
