Any positive ID's from the brains trust out there.

I think they are call Longbeach wheels, some bloke in Vic makes them.

My mate had them on his Torana, took him about 8months for him to get them made.
The guy is very slow & hard to get hold of.

I like to see that "era appropriate" wheels are still being made for Torries... :spoton:

I like 'em!

Cheers

They are nice wheels and I agree with John on having era appropriate rims on a Torana :spoton:

Nothing worse than seeing those 18 or 20 inch Ninja style rims with rubber band tyres on a Torana :spit:

Is that Allstreet? If so, the business has changed hands since I brought mine. I paid half up front. The 1st set that was sent was wrong so I had wait another 4 weeks for the correct set. Then 1 was damaged, which they repaired for me at no cost.

They'd look great on my yellow HK. I was going to use 18x8 V2 seriesII/III CV8 rims but those would be better!

Thanks very much fellas for the responses.

LX308 - love your work man. I think that your car and the wormanship involved sets the high water mark in projects. The Build report and the time taken to share has been extremely generous of you. Thanks.

You should check out the black dice build thread - that's the high water mark.
