Hi guys are any of these original gtr dres rings?

The one on left is stainless i ithink and has a 57mm deep lip.

I belive this to be one but the other one came with my gtr.

 

Cheers Matt

the one one left of pic looks like GTR but would need to see the underside to show the locking pins/clips that hold it on the rim

^^^ Agree. The square edge one on the left looks like the GTR dress ring. GMH also released a rounded edge dress ring (in 1974 or 1975, I think) for Dealer option or after sales fitment to other Torana models.

I paid $480 for a set from Rares in Adelaide and they are excellent on the car

there was a problem with some of the locking pins not moving and protruding correctly but moving them in and out a few times freed them up

I when down to rare spares today to see the wheel trims they sell.

They are the same as the ones i got from swap meet for 30 dollars. The locking part one back is different.

Id be interested in seeing the 600 dollar ones ice can get in WA.

They might be true replicas.

Hi matt those dress rings i was talking about are no longer made and they were awesome replicas like i said i had 2 sets but sold them to forum members and they are happy as
