The rims on a HT GTS were the same as those on other HTs.
V8 GTS had 6" standard, which were optional on 6 cylinder GTS.
GTS hubcap will fit both rims.

yes to the above. if you want to know what the car came with you will need to check if the spare wheel is a 5" or 6" set up.

If your car is an 81837 manual it supposed to have the slotted 6" HT rims.

^^Slotted and lightweight! There are a lot of 6" HT rims out there where people have just cut the slots in them to make them look like GTS350M rims. |

I thought the wheel slots were an update for the HT 350 series after the 69' sandown fiasco? Lol
Or was it just the cooling vents cut in the bottom of the radiator support panel?
At least now I know the 350 manual cars always had the slotted rims. Thanks ^_^

LOL Byron, that would be a lot of hard work putting the slots in. I have these available made using the original tooling. http://www.monarorestora...ly-rim-for-81837-manual/ |
