On the week end i went to the victorian hotrod show and i saw a stall that sold T-shirts etc and they had a few wheels on display.
One of the wheels was an alloy GTS wheel witch at first i thought was a torana sprintmaster but on closer inspection i realised it was actually a GTS wheel.
I looked at the back of it and noticed the holes for the wheel studs did not go right through the wheel but it did have wheel nuts on the face of the wheel.
Does anyone know if these wheels are available for street use????
I should have asked the girl at the stall ut being an idiot i didnt so can anyone help?????????? |

It could be a USA made alloy version of a wheel sometimes called a 'Californian'. These look a lot like a GTS wheel, but are normally all chrome.
The HZ GTS and Sandman actually had 14 x 6 alloy wheels late in the model run. These were the same as a HZ S |
