    Alloy GTS Rims

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180870384...84.m1423.l2649

    Anyone thought about using these, price wise I think they are not too bad, by the time you buy some rims sandblast them have them painted etc and buy centre caps and new wheel nuts, the problem I can see is having to polish the alloy whereas the originals would be easier to clean

    You could use original HZ alloy GTS rims too. Much cheaper! But only 14x6". Here's some, incorrectly titled ad though:

    They are rally rims, which were later used on SL/E Statesman and WB Deville. Also optional on WB utes as rally rims. People often refer to them as solely HZ SL/E which is incorrect. They first appeared mid-late 1978 on HZ GTS and Sandman as the standard rim, known simly as "rally rim" which is what the steel GTS rim was also called prior to that. Alloy was N67 option code, Steel was N66.
