People have gone nuts!!! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/w...ame=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010 and I thought $750 for an old piece of HK Monaro floor or $1275 for a HQ console was crazy.

Remember they are a full matching set not a collection of strays. If you look on Ebay you will notice the auction is closed as

How does one get a wider offset and still maintain the same 6" rim size? I have Monaro wheels with standard offset but they definately measure 6"!! To confuse things further, I have seen genuine

Use a different rim hoop and locate the centre further inwards so it is effectively a "deeper dish". L34 were blank from memory as they were rims made in-house by Holden, whereas A9X were made by 3rd party (ROH I think). ______________________

Lets put it this way if you still had those rims that you threw out what would you ask for them if you still had them? $100? I dont think so. Bit like someone whinging about the today price of a geniune HQ 350
