Finding teeth on a chicken seams easier than me finding a set of 15 X 7in wheels for my car in std pattern and which will sit inside the guards (no flares). I don't have the funds for custom wheels and therefore looking for wheels that are available off the rack in this stud pattern. Why 15in, this is because I believe that there is a larger range of tyres available in 15. The other reason is that I am from the old school and struggle to accept larger wheels on a Torana. Any advise or suggestions are welcomed.
Wheels for Torana Std Pattern

RWD Volvo's have the same stud pattern as Torana. and you can get them in 15"... A few people have put these on their cars... There are a couple of styles you can get... There is a 5 spoke style... and an Interceptor type style as well...
They are the right offset to fit under a flareless Torana.

Well, this threads been dead for a couple of weeks but I didn't see it last time...
I have 15x7 Performance Titans on my LJ. They're great looking wheels, and they fit on LH's no worries. Steve (Holdenmad) has them on his LH.

These are 15x6 (I had to have no wider than 6 inchs when I had NRMA insurance)...don't worry about the flares...they fit inside unflared guards.
I'm selling them..minor gutter rash and need new tyres

If i ever run out of wide 13" tyres, I might consider them as a replacement.

If you looked on the ebay page with the Volvo steel rims he said they were rare, my dad worked for Volvo for 24 years as a parts man and there were heaps of these wheels sitting in he's store as spares, its just most people wanted mags when you spend as much as Volvo cost you wouldnt want just standard wheels, my dad had black ones on he's car and put the same on my mums.
If you want them go to a wreckers and look at a 740 or 940 in a DL model
