Was looking at them

15"

For a hotrod project

The gumtree ones are reproduction OEM HKTG. Factory p27 offset I would say. He has been selling them for years. They aren’t replica for Torana as they aren’t 13”.

The eBay ones are from BCI wheels at Geelong. They are 15” so not replica either, but they will increase your choice of tyres. Not many options for 13” these days. The volume for 13” is for trailers, so most are light truck spec.

I’m pretty sure you can still get 13” ROH rims new. They don’t have the slots, and they are HR offset, not Torana.

Thanks Clay. I guess when I mean replica I mean suitable for an LC or LJ and would look ok? I agree the 13" is restrictive re tyres so have something a little more modern but not ruin the classic style is what I am after.

HK-HG wheel offsets are:

 

HK 5"  - 1.69" (P43)

HK 6" and HT-HG 5" - 1.19" (P30)

HT-HG 6" - 1.06" (P27) (HK 6" with wheel spacer is the same as this).

That Bay City Imports is good to deal with.

 

If you message him you can get a bit of a better price buying outside of ebay.  They can also customise offsets etc. on wheels they stock, send them unpainted etc.

Thanks Byron,
Yes the HT HG 6” p27 rims are the ones Lee has at Edwardstown. I looked st a pair for front of my ute but I
They foul tie rod end and upper balljoint badly of course. I need more like p6. They would prolly work on a Torana ok.

What’s the offset on the HT HG 5” out of interest? Too lazy and inaccurate to measure mine.

Spoken to BCI and yes very helpful to the point of offering to help sourcing original centres from near by wreckers. Their prices for custom work are competitive with Extensive Wheel Services here in Adelaide. Sometimes known as Expensive Wheel Services, but hey, bloke has to make a living.
