Take the tyres off (clean them) and you will find dates, manufacturers mark etc.
Selling HJ 253 Engine
Engine Number QR718*** | 19M5 Clock Casting at 6 O'Clock
19th December 1975 Suit HJ Late Dec 1975 to April 1976
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

Thanks for your help, will check it out !
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
