Take the tyres off (clean them) and you will find dates, manufacturers mark etc.

Thanks for your help, will check it out !
Look for:
NO numbers stamped near the valve hole
Welds on rear of the wheel joining the 2 parts of rim together
HOLDEN + date stamped inside the well of rim...
early gts wheels, (pre Sandman) will be stamped near valve hole, joined together with spot welds & have made in usa, or Canada stamped in the well of the wheel.
This is my observations & someone more knowledgeable may have differing or more info
Cheers
Max
Also long tail (lion) centre cap
The price of these wheels is ridiculous now. They were just trailer wheels or used to hang a garden hose on once!
I have four here that I paid $50 each for about ten years ago.
Think I might just sell all my Sandman bits.
Yes stupid prices for shitty steel wheels but if you want period correct you have to pay
