Am looking to upgrade from the 14 x 10 hotwires to get some decent brakes on the LH. Has anyone ever seen these on a torana - have any views on them?

Sorry about the link - it worked when I previewed the post - just searched trading post under "torana wheels" NSW and they are the last listing - they look a bit like the globes off the XYs but look to be a deeper dish

Those are the ones - if they're good enough for MrNos and Rory then good enough for me! Anyone seen a photo of a flared torrie wearing them?

When I was up QLD visiting the olds 3 weeks ago, I dropped into the tyre place advertising in the tradingpost in Nerang. The Guy in the shop was up to speed with off-sets etc.... and he said they can make those challenger wheels to suit any off-set and stud pattern (and they're Australian made).

Mr Nos/Rory/anyone

Two of those rims are exactly what I need for the arse end of my beast 15 x 10 with A9X offset (HQ pattern).

Can you guys remember how much a rim costs?

Cheers

Visited the factory in Adelaide a couple of months ago to check them out. Had a look at them and measured them up. Information suggests there is only 1 offset. They drill the stud pattern to whats required.

Just rechecking some of my info. After visiting the factory have written offset -9 for 15x8s. +3 for 14x7s. Price quoted a couple of months ago $275 15x10 , $228 15x8s and $195 14x7s.

That is correct Steve..thanks for clearing that up..They only have one mould for 15 x 10...any other information is wishful thinking..it would be nice..but it aint so..
