GTS Wheels on ebay

[jennie285]

I am currently the highest bidder on these wheels....they are 40mins drive away so if we win can go over and collect them....they appear quite good with hubs, and reasonable tread....

If anyone else is thinking of bidding let me know and we can share as I really don't need all of them..
thought I would post this as some of the forum members were after the air cleaner cover I won earlier this week....

What do you need from the auction?

[jennie285]

three hubs, 2 wheels, and the dress rims, but depends on whether the rims we bought with the yellow van are in better condition than those, but thinking ..the ones with the Bridgestone in white writing are def better

Hey Jennie,
Not sure on this but aren't the dress trims of a square cut rather than rounded from the factory.

These would be good buying if you got them for the start price of $1000. They are correct for HX-HZ with the squared off trim rings and long tail Lion caps.

Yes I think you are correct...they did say in the description they were not original .I can get the right ones from rares, and I think Ozbox can get me some from his wrecking yard....I do want some of the hubs and 2 wheels tho.....

Prob a bit too much for us at this stage....didn't the description on them say HQ tho or are they the same...the spray painter told me that there were two sorts....one rounded and one flat, I have the ones of the red van only they are very rusty...you can tell me if they can be resurected when you are here:D

[Absinth]

The rims are the same from HQ through to HZ but they are date stamped if you really want to get anal and made by different manufacturers. HQ had the rounded trim rings, not positive on HJ but HX and HZ had the squared trim rings.

Your original trim rings should be able to be re-chromed as long as the rust is only surface. Will have to check the ones I have as I seem to recall them being stainless steel like the HG GTS hubcaps..... :confused:

They are rusted through, the spray painter said not to soda blast them as they would blow holes through them If you have any other ideas how to sort them...I am up for options.....

Agro is that the guy that I am dealing with or the one Absinth has suggested?
