I think the last was the HZ that came like that but is the FJ the same stuff as the HZ.

Bottom line: different materials.

I don't remember the std HX-Z wheel I thought it was the same as the old HJ I must be because it look the same type of deal and the VB came out with a different looking wheel. All UC torana's had a nice sports wheel I think. XB falcons had the bakelite then changed to the rubber.
