Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows what these 13" dress rims would be off.
I was given them some years ago, was told they "were off a Torana"
They clip in perfectly,but the flat face seems way too short and doesn't extend out the the edge of the rim.
TIA

LC, LJ, LH, LX and most likely UC and 4cyl Commodore too. Assuming they are originally on a Torana, which by the way they fit they may not be. Is the gap to the edge of the rim 1/2"? If so they may be off a 12" rim Torana like HB?

I've got a set just like that that were on a car I cut up. They don't look quite right on a 13" rim with the edge showing.

hmm.. yes, they look awful for sure Clay.

 

So,...how would they fit a smaller wheel?...as in the clip/spring in part is perfect for a 13" Holden rim.  I'm thinking they are random origin, not Holden?

I don’t think they can be off a 13” rim as they all have to be the same diameter. Might just be co-incidence that the fit?
