Mine, 15x6 and 15x7 Dragway billets.

Im with LEE on this one, smaller wheels are the go on little Torry's, anything over 15" looks, well, i shouldent give my opinion on that :P.

15" is perfect for them.

Cheers.

also have a set of commo stockos with 15x6 fronts and 15x8 rears, got a shop to make up the 15x8s. painted them my own choice of colour and got some chrome centercaps. have thought about dress rims for them but i dont know. they look good on granny spec setups with venetians ect

They actually fit fine. That was standard height. I've got king low's in the front now and it sits a bit better and still no clearance issues. Tires are 205/40/17's

Those longbeach customs look awesome! How much are a set of those worth?
I am unsure atm whether to get some custom wheels or some original sprintmasters...Might start with some customs and can always buy more in the future...I dont rekon the bigger all look stupid some of them do but ones like those longbeach ones, they just look like awesome sprintmasters lol!
Keep em coming, am loving looking at the different wheels people have tried!
Cheers!

I thought that commodore rims had a different stud pattern and wouldnt fit an lc/lj torana?

cheers

Id say they arent running standard LC/LJ brakes and hubs Glenn.

Most likely a hoppers stoppers front kit and 9" or Borgwarner diffs with various conversions on the rear.

Very nice macka -
I have a couple of questions for you.
5 x 108 ?
From Showwheels ?
Their "Westcoast" on the site looks different to yours?
Cheers,
makad

Yep difference is that you can order them without studs around the outside and no doubt the painting changes the look.

Sorry 5x 108 I don't understand???

Yeah, my mistake. I mean maybe 5 x 4.25" PCD
But i did speak with Tony at Showwheels today and said they could do any stud pattern/backspace/offset. Which is good for me. Originality is the key for my build with these as the "going out" hoops. Quoted me $700 a pop. Is that a bit rich or the going rate?....oh + $20 ea to get them over to the West.
How did you find their service?
Thanks
