The easiest way is to get secondhand HQ-WB Holden mags of course, Ebay is a good source or ask for some here. I'm pretty sure you can get them new still however, best to call Bob Jane or direct to a mag wheel manufacturer, eg Dragway, CSA etc.

Do not put Commodore wheels on your HJ. They don't fit properly and are DANGEROUS. You can also look for mags that suit the Chev Stud Pattern (5/4¾") which is the same as HQ - WB. Look through the US sites as they are still common over there. Cheers Edited by user Friday, 20 April 2007 6:28:56 AM(UTC)

There was a discussion on the topic of "Commodore rims on HQ-HZ Holdens" in the technical section a while ago...
DON'T DO IT..!!!
They do not fit properly. The stud pattern is slightly different (very slightly) and the studs BEND when you do them up

As Luke said above, stud breakages are common when Commodore and HQ - WB wheels/hubs are mixed and not matched.
The other issue you will have with fitting Commodore wheels to an early Holden is the offset is VERY different and the wheels will sit "in"

The only problem with that is wheel spacers are illegal and void your insurance...
