    yeh im hoping to have it all prepped and painted by xmas so i can stripe it in february...or even earlier if the moon and stars align..
    i am using acrylic so painting and then rubbing down and then buffing is very time consuming and i dont want it off the road as i like driving her everyday..
    i still need to do a full overhaul on the brakes and put the rebuilt 3.08 slippery in and change the gas tank before i get stuck back into the body..

    Yes and if you dig around in the tip, you could find some A9X rims which are like gold now, coz everyone took them off, and put on hotwires or simmons etc.:cry:

    no i havent got around to painting them yet..will be doing that soon now its warm..
    the 15x7s were original pontiac rims..i also own a 69 ram air 3 gto which the rally 2s were original fitment on but i bought wheel vintique rims for it new so these were the other set i had..not its absolute originals and they had a couple of marks in them..

    ok, i was racking my brain (stump really) to think of a Holden that came with a 15 inch and thats why i couldnt think of one

    so im assuming, from the look, that theyre the exact same centre in a larger outer rim?

    no they are a 15 inch centre with a 15 inch outer...
    you used to be able to get step down rims from roh to put 14 inch centre into a 15 inch outer..dont know that you can get them anymore..when pontiac started doing the 15 inch rally 2 rim there was a 1 year run of 14 inch centre to 15 outer and that was 1970..after that they were all 15 inch centres with 15 inch outers..dunno why they did this coz 69 models had 15 with 15...
