Some places in the US make very similar styles, Wheel Vintiques and the likes; just hop on Summit etc and you'll find a few. The same styles have been implemented with better results in some brands than others though, and the billet ones are very very expensive (in my opinion unnecessary and they generally look the worst so no big deal)

edit: oops that was in reply to mika03au

Cheers, the Wheel Vintiques look pretty cool, do we know what back space the fronts 15X8 would need? 4" or 4 1/2"? Are the 15X10 having a 5" back space OK with modified wheel arches and flares?
Definitely need to upgrade to HQ stud patterns for the 4 3/4" PCD they are supplied in.
The cost would be less than modifying a set of GTS rims to that standard I guess. (chromed and painted)

They arent the same wheels as on Evilsim's LJ though?
Havent found the supplier of those as yet...

Not everyones cup of tea including my own but they will do until funds allow custom offset/width rears in some form of billet

18x8 VY R8, hopper stopper front brakes, skyline rears

haveing the torana to put wheels on is hard enough rego is even better. Driving without stress is a winner.

Looks good Sarsha, who supplied the wheels and are they standard Torana stud pattern?
